Which asics JB and why the change from Kook ?

Having dabbled with a bit of county tennis back in the day tennis shoes are obviously designed with the rigors of stop/start and direction changes in mind and the appropriate support to cater for this. Obviously cricket when batting seeing a lot of these demands as well so makes sense to look at them.

I have used either asics or adidas for the last 8 years as when you think you would spend �70+ on a pair of football boots that you wear for 90 mins and you wear a pair of cricket boots for 5-6 hours at a time so makes sense to have something comfortable, durable and built to last a few seasons. The price of boots has risen over the years as everything else has done in the market.

I have a pair of gold 22yds that were �20 or so on eBay in 2010. I had some reeboks for years prior to that. The SD Slazenger ones will be my next ones I expect.

I think the rebook's were the last pair of "proper" cricket shoe I had (20 odd years ago) Great shoe, all leather and Alec Stewart wore them ..............

I have had slazenger and kook cricket shoes, even gn as I tend to sticker to cricket manufacturers for bowling. Not sure why.

But.

I and some nike tennis trainers that I had spiked for batting in that were excellent, but have found my puma spikes are actually better. So much I bought a matching pair of puma rubbers for the artificial.

Green stripe ones i liked the rubbers.

Not very fussy me about boots i do not like Addidas there too narrow i find and cumbersome i like plain Boots not much colour in the past Puma but not a big fan of Asics at all to be honest.

Might try to get a pair of NB ones if i can get them cheap but otherwise will see whats what.

These look and CRK boot the leading outsider feel be interesting to hear feedback on them after half a season or so..

Mitre were good value and would like to have found some in my size. These are the rbks I had:

Did anyone see the red and black new balance hales wore today?
I'm wondering if there made for him by nb, or just nb trainers spiked.

And on that, if I trotted out to bat in red trainers in a whites match, would the umpire have a cow?

I had them reeboks, loved them. Got them from my club as a nice reward. Replaced them in 2008 after a lot of years

Great spot those Dave.

I also used to have a pair of 1/2 and 1/2 shoes back 30 years ago. I think they were the first ones every on the market. They had super soft leather uppers as well. Lovely fitting shoe but I cant remember who made them ?

Any ideas ?
