So are they bowling boots or just your normal cricket shoe?

Only two spikes in the heel and biggest size available is 11 = definitely not bowling boots.

[Calzehbhoy]

I have read the website. I still don't get what they offer over a basic boot.

Look too narrow for my feet. I admire the fact that they are giving it a go but for my money the 2 pairs of asics I have are unbeatable.

[Sivlar13]

I got a pair even though I'm a 12, will try them on and see what happens!

Perfect @Sivlar13! Now we all eagerly await to hear from you so we all will order them as well...well most of us will be.

I wonder how is sizing.

Anything similar to why anyone would spike a pair of running shoes.

shoe technology in a pair of running shoes is distinctive (asics nimbus, nike pegasus etc).
The only thing I can see on these is a triathlon type set of laces. would expect a write up on the cushioning components.

When Nike, adidas, new balance etc joined the cricket shoe market, people tried them and hyped them due to there experience in other fields over many many years, and brand loyalty.

People spike trainers up because they find a certain style and make of shoes and have years of trust in them and want them for the cricket field.

All valid reasons to try a new shoe. Imo


Payntr remind me of W3. Both an unknown quality offering a spiked shoe in a comfy athletic/trainer type.
But for some reason W3 got some serious abuse, questioned on there build quality, r and d and lack of experience.
Where as  payntr have received universal praise and backing across the board, and for some reason I just can't fathom why?

 What is it that can be seen, that people are putting blind faith in this shoe? Is it the Swann thing? I really can't see it.

Im not putting faith behind them, if i didnt have 2 pairs of boots already i would be keen on buying some. As i think the resemble a running trainer spiked up, more so than anything else out there

I would buy a pair but sent trainers to vitas to get spiked.

W3 got flack merely because of the founder Ian Willis I believe which didn't give a lot of people much faith in the product due to past dealings

[jbrommo]

They don't look that great in my humble opinion, and I wouldn't choose to buy them, as I see no reason to shift from Asics. Fair play for them giving it a go though.

[Number4]

there is certainly something different about them - they are trading on a tennis shoe kind of look, you assume the USP will be greater comfort in the field?

Could be worth a look...

I like the seamless upper... just looks super comfy.... will be interesting to hear feedback

[thedevil]

I've invested in two pairs. 1 blue and 1 all white. However having seen the comments above I'm slightly worried they'll be too snug
