Spiking Trainers in Taunton - Somerset
« on: April 10, 2011, 07:22:40 PM »
Have just been informed that trainers can now be spiked by The Shoe Doctor in Taunton - apparantly a lot of the county boys have been getting it done in there with the prices being pretty reasonable.....circa £20 i've been told, but dont take my word for that!
Link to the website
http://www.theshoedoctor-taunton.co.uk/

Probably more useful for those living in the local vicinity - but useful to know of another person doing the spiking!

Good find, stumble across them or having your heels repaired?

Any idea who they cater for? Has anyone had any experience of these even?

He might have stumbled across them because his heels needed to be repaired!

wasnt that the joke talisman made, but he phrased it a bit better

Havn't been in myself but was told by a team mate who is pretty reliable. I might pop in this week and get a definitive price for the service.

A guy at our club got his done there years ago (3-4 years), from what I remember it was quite expensive but I'm not overly sure.....

Just collected my trainers from the shoe doctor, I paid £30 for full spiking, steve has only just started this service following some work for the Somerset lads.

Hi
I am the Shoe Doctor in Taunton. I have beena cobbler for 23 years and just recently started doing cricket spikes. I opened a new shop in Taunton very close to the county ground and started getting enquiries about the service from the Somerset guys. I saw what was done previously and thought i could do an as good if not better job. I have done quite a few pairs since and had no complaints so far. I am sponsoring Marcus Trescothick this season and done some work for him including spiking and he seemed very pleased. I am more than happy to offer a mail order service. Prices are from £25-£30 depending on the trainer +p&p. If anyone is interested feel free to email me & i'll be more than happy to send you a before & after pic of a recent pair i've done.

I'd highly recommend steve and his work, as i said I have my trainers spiked and they are great.

Nice to see someone local offering the service
