Asics and Adidas are the go to shoes.

I think GN shoes have been mentioned as good fits.

I think with shoes especially it's worth spending a little bit more to make sure you get the right fit, and something that's comfy for you. The only way you can do that is try a load on, something thats comfy for one may not be comfy for another

I know.....but my choices are limited by a chronic lack of places that sell cricket stuff locally!!
And my wish to keep the cost down.....will probably only use them for this season as hoping to play more next year!!  :D

Take a look on here

I've posted this before as I bought some sauces strike rates for £35 from Nixon. They don't have strike rates in your size but do have gel advance 2.

So,having followed this up....I can get a pair of Asics Gel 335 for £33 incl postage or Gel Advance 2 for £38 incl postage....question is,which has a wider fit...anyone know?,
Thanks...

I have a pair of 335's and they are quite wide mate, i haven't got any of the other ones but by looks they look a lot thinner.

That is a top price for the adidas boots that nic compton uses among others. I'd go for them

Dammit - why are there never any Asics rubber soles at cheap prices (or Puma for that?)

Why not buy the spikes and replace with the rubber/plastic cleats?!
