I had those reebok ones when I was a lad. Loved them, they had some honeycomb blue sponge system which made them comfortable.

I had those reeboks too they were the best cricket shoe I had if they did those again would have. (only had non spike but comfiest by far)

The W3 shoes will retail for £60, but we may sell them a bit below that.  Either way, it makes them pretty much the cheapest option on the market for cricket spikes from a footwear specialist company...
They're only a specialist because they don't sell anything else.

The product itself is no more specialist than GM's or Kooks. It's a standard Chinese footwear mould, with the logo added by those who don't know anything about footwear.

Exactly, i work with footwear on a daily basis, these do not look anything special or different and there is no technology behind them.

So why would I buy from a retailer when I can buy cheaper if I go direct?

No, it's not cheaper.  If you go direct it costs £60, and this is one of the reasons we are thinking of selling them for lower.

Unfortunately they aren't available until March which will be almost at the end of our season so I will have to wait till next season.

I bought some of these from IJC the other day and used them in a match for the first time yesterday.  Though i wasn't so keen on the looks myself, i decided to look past that and after yesterdays outing i found them really light and comfortable. It's very rare for me to come away without any blisters from the first wear of new boots. If you're in the market for a batting/fielding spike and aren't willing to spend the extra £20-30 on a pair of Asics/nike/adidas I think they're an excellent option.

couldnt get on with the asics i bought at the start of the season (too heavy, didnt fit) and had been using an old knackered pair of cheap kookaburras
