Ive seen them and they are not spikes and I need spikes and also a set of trainers that I can get on with,
They've been extensively tested when batting and fielding by pro players over the past twelve months, Collingwood is also partial to a little trundle in them by all reports. They obviously aren't geared up for proper seam bowlers, but in my opinion nor are spiked up trainers.
The soleplate is clearly different and won't be to everyones liking, but they've put a lot of research into it, mostly weighted towards high standard cricket if you ask me. It is unlikely to be suitable for your classic image of the sunday village green with a wet muddy outfield. But a rock hard square and well maintained quality outfield and they will be just fine.
Just as an fyi we offer trainer spiking for less than the shoe doctor charges and the soleplates is stitched and glued, whereas the shoe doctor (to my knowledge) only glues the soleplate.
Question ive often wondered on here. What added protection do cricket spikes give over spiked trainers?
Most trainers simply have mesh on the upper. Cricket shoes even if not all are genuine leather are usually a more substantial material, with a nod to some additional toe protection, though not exactly the steel toe caps of the past.
