Not sure it's progress!

Nor am i really. I prefer the feel of a leather football boot. I was seduced by the whacky colours the plastic ones offered.

I haven't really thought about it so much from a cricket perspective, i like leather because of the foot feel you can get on the ball, which obviously isn't needed in cricket. Are comfort levels affected? I am tempted to say no. Having road tested my Lunar Dominates for almost a full season now, they are head and shoulders above anything else i've worn. They have all but retired my Asics 200 Not Outs, which are leather.

A synthetic shoe is obviously much cheaper to make. How do they get away with charging the prices that they do?

I think we were talking about the rubber-soled shoe in particular, Mr Vitas.

Having sat in on a meeting Mr Broad had about his boots alot of the technology lies within the lower half of the boot, the mould costs arent cheap when you have to make them in every half size.

This i would imagine makes up the large % of the overall cost and as with all things in the cricket and sports market prices have gone up over the last 5 years. The synthetic materials will have a longer shelf life than the leather that once was used as well, leather can dry out and split which is less of a risk with the more modern materials being used now.

If we were to pre-order from you Vitas Cricket, would you offer a returns policy and an official written (or email) confirmation of our order?

I don't suspect the sizing to be an issue, like you stated in your OP, but if it turned out to be...

Like a lot of things in life, you are paying for the brand name i suppose. The majority of our rubber soled shoe sales are the price bracket down from this, £25-£35 from the likes of Kook, GM etc. These come with their own problems, quality of production, longevity etc.

I am not going to hold many Potentials in stock because their price doesn't suit our market.

You have return rights under the distance selling regulations. You can return the items to us for an exchange or refund if they don't suit within 7 days of receiving them. Like most retailers, we extend the 7 days the law states, to 14.

Of course, we always provide an order confirmation. :)

We have them in now at barringtons but at £105 and £115. Though I suspect the price will drop around christmas
So the vitas offer if your prepared to wait is a very good one!

Must say the shoes are very nice, I will be purchasing a pair very soon that's for sure!

Today is the last day you can pre-order these shoes from us with a deposit.

After today they will be on general sale on our website and we will require the full amount.

I'm yet to see a better price on them which is surprising, I can't believe some retailers are selling these at rrp.

Sorry for not getting back to you. 3rd year is pretty intense.

Basically, I went with owzat purely because of the Christmas delivery. However, they now state that they will not be getting ANY lunar accelerates in size UK8 AT ALL. From what I gather this is Nike's decision not theirs.
I'm absolutely gutted!

If they won't be getting any accelerates in UK8 in stock who will?

Help please
Thanks, Dan
