To be fair, if you are making a day of it. All rounder at Headingley is worth a visit. Sale on at the moment.

I'll throw my 2 cents in and say that my Asics are the most comfy cricket shoes I've owned.

Errr, probably about 25 miles-ish?

I drive about 1300 miles a week, so 25 miles is not too far out my way
Would be worth it to see these oversized clefts,I keep hearing about

I've been to MacArthur glen at York today, if you are a size 6 1/2, 7 or 7 1/2 asics gel advance 4 in black/red are �38 otherwise the blue are �58 in all other sizes.

Yep - Asics all the way.

I own two pairs of Kayano's for running (I had a pair before these two which lasted 10 years and they were used lots in that time - Tiny bit of wearing when I sold them on eBay!)
A pair of Asics bowling boots which have been going for years!
A pair of Gel 180s for batting in.

They are just so well made. I wouldnt buy another brand with quality like that

All comments sound good,so will have a look

Cheers guys

That explains why I love them but our stick insect opening bowler prefers Adidas!

Asics were the chosen boot of Billy Bunter and Dwayne Leverock.

Dwayne is my sporting idol, if it's good enough for him I should be honoured to use the same!

Have a look at the cricket doctor.
Buy a pair of trainers , send them to them somewhere in somerset and they will spike them up. Just a thought, that way you can get try and get trainers that are suitable for your feet as well a them being unique (instead of a generic pair). I'm considering a couple of pairs for next season. Couple of lads I play with have them and they do a really good job.

I did consider this but at �30 spiking plus the cost of the shoes it worked out cheaper to buy a pair of spikes.

I've looked at the asics range, and they look more suitable for what I need

With trainers, I would need the uppers to be all leather,,like a cross trainer,,otherwise I tend to push my big toe through the uppers, when bowling, and also,, a full leather upper, just gives a bit more protection, if my foot gets hit with the ball

My missus has just bought some decent Nike cross trainers,and they were �110
Add on the cost of the spikes

Thanks anyway
