Asics Gel Advance 4 if you are a batsman/all-rounder.

I'm no bowler so can't comment properly on bowling shoes. The Speed Menace from Asics is popular, many people like the Adidas Bowling shoes too though.

In a few months when the Nike Lunar Dominate and Accelerate's are released to the masses they will be the best shoes in my book. Mine are fantastic and easily the best spikes I've ever worn. My Asics 200 Not Outs and Adidas SL22's have been put into storage for a while!

Not seen them in the flesh. Can't see them being market leading at the price.

Dominates are all round/batting shoes.



Accelerates are bowing shoes with a support strap.

No firm indications from suppliers yet, available overseas for approx £90-£100. This is in line with most other top end shoes, the Gel Advance 4 for example is £95.

Asics Speed menace are brilliant as an all round shoe, not just for bowling.

I like the strike rates personally, as close to a trainer level of comfort as you can get (aside from the new nikes, seriously, different level)

Some people are flummoxed by the pins/blanks, also the half spike only option is a little limiting, but it is marketed as a batting shoe.
