I once tried wearing middle distance running spikes, quite liked batting in them but not the easiest to turn in.

They have very little cushioning in the mid and rear of the shoe so are only really ok for running on your toes and even walking around your heels get a bit sore.

Obviously they offer very little protection but then again neither do most cricket shoes!

Gibbs has used Puma moulded football boots for years, Umar Akmal did the same with Adidas moulded football boots, but can't see many groundsmen being happy especially on the square. Always had an issue with spiker running shoes, they were designed for running forwards with no thought for turning, cross trainers yes running shoes no!
