Pony???

Might not be old enough but Pony made some cracking boots

Green and white colour scheme

I had some mitre ones when I was a kid with a fold over tongue like a footy boot.

I used to wear pony, then puma boots, before finally settling on Asics strike rates, after the pumas fell apart. Have worn the Asics for four years as they are immensely comfortable (trainer like) and all leather, providing decent protection when batting.

I hate batting in mesh shoes.

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




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

These look great shoes, all white, light, flexible etc etc.......but why does nobody wear them ?




i have a pair of these but in the rubber sole for the artificial and nets and a pair of woodworm that i wear in games.

i rememer my dad had a pair of pony spikes when i was younger, he probably still has them now as he doesn't play very often

I used them when they were called the original i had a pair in 2011 and a pair in 2012, they both broke in the same place after about 6 weeks.
I upgraded to Asics gel Gully 2s last year and never looked back, the Asics felt better, fitted better and lasted longer.
I'll use them again as bowling shoes this year and use my new Adidas Sl22 spikes to bat in.
I'd never use a spike from GM or Kookaburra again as they just simply aren't as good as those from 'proper' footwear brands like Asics, Nike and Adidas.

We stocked these last year, and they sold well.  I love the look of them, too, but unfortunately, they offer very little toe protection, which was an issue with some customers.  Will be interesting to see how the W3 shoes compare as they are not too far away in terms of price...

So how much are retailers going to be selling these for?

Do people care more for the protection side of their spikes or the look and branding? I'd say at least 8/10 would go for the later option.

For me, comfort and support as if I'm going to be bowling 10-14 overs per match, I am less bothered about looks. Which is why the Nike's are so appealing.

I agree... Without serious comfort and support your feet can be aching at the end of a long day bowling and fielding.

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...

Where's the research behind these? As in, what technology is going into the trainer? I would not go near them until they could prove the research in their trainer, who's to say they haven't just picked a trainer from tesco, used the same design and then put spikes in the bottom?  I'm pretty sure these will flop.
