At first glance they remind me of shooze footwear, the blue ones anyway. Have to agree with you Leo, very nice.

Couple of Questions: Who are brian and brenda? how much do they charge? Can I get any trainers spiked up? Where can I get spikes from?

From what i understand the roles first have to be smoothed off to get rid of the tread. Then a special took is used to put the spikes into a rubber compound. The thing is then sewed onto the shoe using an industrial shoe sewing machine. Obviously theses more to it, but there are the basics.

Brian and Brenda Jennings of Harrow.
£17-£30 depending on what you need doing.
Pretty much any although some of the ones with air pockets you didn't used to be able to. Find out from B & B.
Spikes can be bought from any cricket shop, although B & B actually do fit them in for you.

From what i have heard its nearly impossible to fit them yourself though. B and B are best people to send to as they have this machine that sews the soles on
