I've also got the same two sets of boots. I know this will be controversial but I find them much better than the asics boots I've owned previously

Very nice.

How wide are they compared to other makes and is it a specific sale going on?

Thats not controversial! I found the exact same thing. Same type of boots here in Australia with Asics are at lease a third the price again for an equivalent product.
I got the blue 4030s at the end of 2013/14 summer and have been very impressed.

Given the love shown in this thread, have gone for a pair of the 4020. They have a reputation to live up to now.

Ive used the bowling boots (Velcro support strap) all season.  My only complaint is that the spikes keep coming loose and I end up with one less every 3rd game or so.  Not a major issue but have to ensure they are tight before every game.  Maybe just a bad batch but didn't have this issue with last years Asics Speed Menace.

I don't have the bowling boots but do have a pair of the 4030's never had any issues with spikes falling out, although my issue with them is the build quality. i had a pair of nike spikes for at least 4-5 seasons and they are still in decent shape now, these new balance have started the separate from the soles after a season of use.

Great if you are size 13.5, but I could probably fit both feet in one boot  :D

Not sure why its showing those ones but if you click on the white/blue versions there is pretty much a full size run 7-12 & 14, not bad at 36 quid + free delivery
