A good choice I'd say. In fact it's about time I got another pair of gel strike rates, which are by far the most comfortable cricket shoes I've ever had.

Does anyone know if you can you take the spikes out of either the Gel Strike Rates or the Gel Advance 2's and use them simply as rubbers - or can you use the rubber / plastic cleats on astro turf nets?

The strike rates I have come with a set of blanks, you just take out the spikes and use a screwdriver to put the blanks in. It's a bit of a pain if you have unto do it when you arrive at a game but its not too bad. I've used them for indoor nets and on astro wickets once the blanks are in.

I took my spikes out of my strike rates and left the holes open.
I net indoors so don't need to put blanks in.

They are great.
