Tempted, but just can't get my head around not having a single front spike to mark your guard with! (I like marking my guard well and do fairly regularly get a sledge referencing Trott...)
As sad as it sounds i actually only have 1  of those two spikes in 1 boot so i can mark my guard correctly, even tilting my foot left two lines  :-[

Just had a quick look could be these ones?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Balance-4030-Cricket-Shoes/dp/B00U29DRGS


Wore mine for the 1st time yesterday, batted for over 30 overs and had to do a lot of running. They're fantastic, very comfortable and supportive. They've even got decent protection against the odd toe-crusher. I see the prices have tumbled even further, you can get 11s for only £27, which is a total steal.

Oh and I didn't seem to find too much problem marking my guard...

Has anyone ordered the blue/green 4020 rubbers? The website shows a discrepancy between the photos and description, the photo shows the blue shoe but wording says white/green. Should I order according to the photo or wording?

Astonishing prices. Pair of spikes and pair of rubbers for £50 is ridiculous.

@rawpace, I've gone with the wording. Will have to wait and see what turns up.

A quick update on this - the Green and White wording on the 4020s resulted in the Blue and Yellow colourway as pictured below, matching the picture rather than the wording. Have to agree on comfort for the price. Amazing value... And I'm happy with the colour either way at £21.

The Green and White 4040 resulted in Green and White spikes. Haven't walked around in them yet - don't want to make holes in a wood floor. Also an amazing bargain at £28.

I note on Amazon that the 4040 is now out of stock and the 4020 has now gone up to £38.21 in my size.

Picked up a pair of size 10 for £16.50 inc delivery!
As long as they fit, a bit of a bargain!

Hey guys - do these come up normal shoe size?  I'm normally an 11 in shoes, but with my Asics spikes I went up to a 12. Anyone know if these are standard fit or bigger / smaller than normal?

My normal shoe size is 10, I bought my NB in size 11 (my usual size for cricket footwear) and they're a perfect fit with cricket socks.

I'm normally a 12 in cricket boots and these seem to fit just fine as 12s.

Pretty standard sizing for me. I'm in the market for some new boots after the sole gave away from the bottom of the boot on my front bowling foot after a season and a half. Not sure what Im going to go for this time, may go for NB again as at the prices they are going for 1 and a half seasons wear is still a huge bargain.

@shamelessshaun as a fellow Cumbrian you can get some good deals at the NB factory shop at Flimby, not sure if they do the spikes or not but a lad at our club got a new set of rubbers from them for a steal.

Just like to point out the factory shop is open to non-Cumbrians too but A) you might not understand what the staff are saying and B) it's miles away from anywhere else in the world haha
