An alternative:

Asics Strike Rate.

I use them for batting, bowling finger spin, and fielding.
So comfortable and mainly a leather upper.

These are worth a shout mate? I have the red ones from a couple of years back, wear them for batting and keeping...these are the upgrade and a decent price

Saw those yesterday. Looked a nice shoe but not keen on the appearance. The blue ones were nicer

Yeah mate I saw this years version in the yellow. Very nice indeed but very heavy compared to the sl22 and others. I want them just for fielding in so weights going to be a factor. I spiked some trainers last year but didn't like it as much as I thought so its purpose built from now on lol

Having the right footwear is something that I grade very very highly, a lot of effort goes into choosing a pair of shoes for me. I'm a big Asics man but in the end that price gap is pretty large. If money's no object like you said then I'd have to say go with the Asics.

Yeah not overly bothered about paying the higher price but its something that was highlighted because the others were a lot cheaper.

Gel advance threes? I've got the green ones and love them, use them for everything. Maybe a little less pricey than this years model too!

I'm after those Pumas, look a bit brighter in your picture. How much is the pack man selling them for?

Not keen on the pumas, last years version looked better.

I'd go for asics every time and I've just bought the old strike rates with full spike for £35 from Nixon cricket. Take a look at this

http://nixoncricket.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/buy-some-boots-and-then-fill-them-in.html?m=1

The offer is a couple of weeks old so they may only have limited stock but the asics are a bargain. Reduced prices on other kit too.

Most places are pre order for them. On morrants there pic isn't as bright as yours. Hopefully they will do some matching softs as well.

I see what you mean mate. They're bright in the flesh but not so much so you get a headache looking at them. They're in stock at owzat. £74.99

I've got the Asics 200 Not Outs for this summer.

Conservative colourings, lightweight, comfortable, and most importantly provide plenty of support for my flat swamp feet.

Last year i had Gel Advance 4's which are insanely comfortable, but just not quite as supportive as i need for long periods. All 3 of the shoes you have picked out seem quite minimalist, with little/no support offered. Could be something to consider.
