I was going to send a pair over to a guy at SpyderBats Uk, based in Stoke. However talking to him he recommended tennis shoes for seam bowling in trainer spikes.

Having had no new bowling boots since 2015 I may bite the bullet and buy some specialist bowling boots. Instead of playing spiked up trainer lottery with injuries, have spiked up trainers for batting

Yes if you look at most of the pros who use spiked up trainers, they are pretty much always tennis shoes due to the extra support and they offer better durability than regular trainers for those who drag their foot when batting. Stokes has used a variety of this Adidas model for the past few years

It's a good recommendation, tennis shoes suit the job very well. Extremely popular with Australian seamers if you look closely.

If you can a pair,these Asics cross trainers are amazing,best support i`ve ever had,,,Bill and Brenda did mine 7 years ago,still going strong

Before Asics really went into Uk cricket shoe market,they were spiking these up for the Pro`s,Jimmy A used to wear some

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Asics-Mens-Gel-100-Cross-Trainer/dp/B0032UXNZO

In fact,i do have a 11.5/Euro 47 spare pair(unspiked)if anyone needs..

Having spoken to the guy bought them I went for these, the bloke himself has done spiking up for a lot of the Indian cricketers showing me pictures of Tendulkar, Dhoni and Kohli all wearing trainers they have had spiked up by him. From the photos he has done a good job and they look sturdy! Will be swapping out the black laces for white!

In fact looking on his facebook, it looks like hes got multiple sizes of Asics spiked and ready to go. They all look like the Asics that are currently on sale in the Asics Warehouse. Overall it cost me £75 inc delivery for the boots which i think is a pretty good deal. Good enough that if they do break its not a bank breaker to buy a new pair

Stokes uses Ultraboosts.

Nope definitely uses the Adidas SoleCourt Tennis shoes to bat and bowl in.
His famous Headingley innings was in a pair of Adidas Harden basketball trainers
No fast bowler could wear ultra boosts

Pros were spiking these even after Asics went into UK cricket market. Marcus Trescothick being one. They were possibly favoured because they were made of leather.

They are/were a good shoe and were also popular as a straight-up training shoe. I'm not sure you can still get them though.

Very reminiscent of the adidas spikes Kallis and Sachin used to wear!
