Evening guys

I know the seasons a while off yet, but I want to sort a decent pair of boots ready for the season

For the last couple of years, I've had my sons cast offs,(which I've bought him!)
This season though, I want a decent 'new'pair

To be honest,I've always bought cheap crap for myself,so I've no idea what's a decent pair of boots these days?

I'm not bothered about brand snobbery etc,
I want full spike,,good support,as I bowl a bit,,gotta be nice and comfy
Would be nice if they don't drop in bits after 5 mins too

I've spotted some Adidas adipower vector,,look ok?

Any thoughts/advice on this,most welcome

When going for shoes I always look at brands who actually make shoes individually (Adidas, Asics, New Balance or Puma) rather than a cricket brand who release a range of shoes (Gray Nicolls, Gunn & Moore, Kookaburra ect.)

You'll pay a bit more but to my mind it's worth it. Stick to that advice (as I have done since it was given to me) and you should be fine mate.

I must say, Cameron has hit the nail on the head there. That's the key fundementals I use when buying shoes!!

Pro direct have some decent spikes on sale. May be worth a look mate. Nike or Asics mate just stick with either of those and you will be fine.

I'd see what the sponsors can do.

Failing that, Asics have an Outlet on York ring road.

Gel advance 4s are �58. They do 20% off on Thursdays. I think there is a sale on now.

I will bear that in mind
I've always liked Adidas trainers

I swear by them buddy. They're comfy, offer decent support and dot look bad. Can't think I what more you'd want from a pair of spikes.

Hmmm
Asics gel speed menace@ pro direct @ �75

If you can get to an Asics Outlet then I recommend it. Managed to get a pair of Strike Rates for �40 on their 20% off Thursdays

joeljonno · « **Reply #13 on:** December 28, 2013, 08:48:22 PM »

Errr, probably about 25 miles-ish?

Wouldn't like to be dragged by the balls between them

, must be 30 miles! But if you are making a day of it, easily do-able
