Nike Spikes
« on: August 13, 2012, 02:59:59 PM »
Hi guys

I have used my Asics Strike Rates for 3 years now and they are so worn they are like slippers! Its actually painful on the ankle to bowl in them now so I'm looking to get a new pair for this weekend.

I would get another set of strike rates but they are £70 and they are only half spikes, meaning extra money to drive up to Taunton to get the rears spiked.

A team mate has the Nike Century II boots and I tried them on for size yesterday, just wondered if anyone has a views on them. I haven't worn them for anything more than a walk around the changing room. Does anyone know what they are like as an all round shoe?

Thanks

I really like Nike shoes and I rate them highly! I have Nike Googly's, Nike Zoom Opener II and Century II (yet to get my hands on them).

So I have nothing but praise for them

Hi mate,
I've got the Flywire Century II boots and use them for batting.
I find them quite heavy and substantial and love the look of them (once you navigate the expected mic taking), however I only started using them this season and since I changed I have found I get moderate pain in my shins after a long day.
 Now I can't put this completely down to the shoe (possibly more caused by the, somewhat substantial, weight passing through my feet and the fact that I am flat footed), but I have never experienced this before.
On reflection I wish I had gone with the Asics Gel Advanced 3 as I believe they would probably be more suited to an opening keeping batsman!
I hope this helps but if you have any specific questions please ask. :)
