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

Nobody has tried them yet, so don't get to worried!

Nike did a similar shoe a few years ago with that foot sock idea, didn't sell great. Was tough for broad footed guy's to get on.

The foot sock part looks all kinds of wow! to me . Look like Nike Air Huaraches with spikes ! .... ive been dreaming of spiked Huaraches for ages but then bought 2 pairs of boost sl22s . Even so , i want a pair or two of these , hope my size 12us / 11.5 uk will fit their 11s though - if the sizing is like adidas then I'm stuffed ( have to go half size up for them ).

This is exactly my fears, I'm a 12.5 in all my adidas boost sneaks. Having spoken with Dave he said the 11 shoe was for feet up to 30cm long so we should be all right. Just depends now on width.

My feet are usually 12us / 11.5uk . In adidas boosts its 12.5us/12uk . Normally a us 12/11.5uk shoe is 30cm long . I measured my feet - 29cm long . So yeah , i think I'm sweet if the size 11s cater for a 30cm foot .
I was just wondering though , what will the weight be like vs adidas boost sl22s ? , and that got my thinking about the weight of screw in metal spikes themselves and i thought , 'has anyone experimented with ultralight metal spikes'? For instance , are there titanium metal spikes around ? Geez , my 'gram weeny' mentality from ultralight backpacking / hiking is starting to have a dodgy influence on my cricket gear obsession!

Btw ....to me , these do look wider ( just going by the pics ) in the toe /forefoot area than adidas boost sl22s.

Have taken a gamble on an all white pair, hopefully they'll be here in the next few days and we can see what they're like!

�75.00 can only be purchased from them to start with size wise he said in cm his feet are 30 that equals size 11 and every cm up or down will be one size up or down they are designed to be snug fit to fullfil there purpose and not too be worn with thick socks normal thin running socks are suggested they will launching a sock soon as well .

Okay so I've just tried measuring my feet using a pencil, notebook and a ruler.
Probably not that accurate, but both my feet are around 27.5cm
If I were to order I guess I'd have to go for a size 9, still deliberating whether I should or not...

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?

I think the answer to this question lies in the people who are launching the brand and the current impression other people in the industry have of them. I think it's fair to say that those behind W3 had a bit of a reputation.

Titanium spikes? PRicey to replace when you lose one or two in the middle of the cricket field....

First time I've seen anything other than a promo image. Liam Dawson using them at the mo - I think they look pretty good! Hoping my gamble pays off.

Looks like he's put proper laces in them, if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.....

As any sensible person would!

There must be Ti or Alu spikes out there... golf, athletics maybe???

How about ceramic? Not sure they'd last too long, but they'd definitely be hugely lighter than standard cricket ones

Alternatively, Asics strike rate spikes would be a decent weight saving over two boots if anyone can actually track down a set:

@tim2000s , yeah pricey , but I'd still do it ! They say a kilo on your feet = 10 kilos on your back , so every bit helps . Part of my gear buying frenzy is getting weight down . So far with shoes , pads , helmet , thigh pad changes ive saved 2lb7oz -the same weight as some of my bats !
I'm on a mission now .....i will find ulralight spikes for cricket shoes or else !

@edge , do you think those ceramic spikes would be compatible with cricket spikes ( I'd fit them out on the Payntrs ) ?
