I would recommend Gary's service and he has done this for a number of pros for a number of years.

He also offers a decent choice with the spiking options

Do you know if he offers a full pimple option?

Finally got round to sorting the pics:

Ended up managing to get a pair of Roadhawk FF2 rather than the Gel Quantums I initially posted about - they were a bit too grey so they're now for indoor training.

I know players in the past who have that this done by him but I can't say whether he still does does option.

I would drop him a line.  Gary is easy guy to deal with

@Jimbo did you go through with getting some trainers spiked up by Spyder? If so, how did they hold up last season?

Looking at doing the same this year, after last few pairs of cricket boots seeming really hard soled. Discomfort in the arch of my foot, my ankles, shins and knees (basically my whole leg at this point) gets progressively worse throughout the season.

Clearly it isn't just the footwear, it's probably my gait and running technique. So, considering going to a running shop, having some gait analysis and buying something to help. Then getting them spiked up.

Anyone tried something similar? I've seen most people go for tennis shoes, does that type of shoe suit the spiking process more?

Nah @Paese just got some cheap ASICS spikes. Couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

Ah, fair enough. Out of interest, where did you find ASICS spikes? They seem to be more and more difficult to get ahold of in the UK. Something about them leaving the UK cricket market?

eBay, just a pair of the real basic ones to tide me over for a season or two. In a normal season I play largely on astroturf so top spikes aren't really a necessity.

I suffer with foot and Achilles issues so had a pair of Adidas Solar Glides spiked up by Spyder at the start of last season. Held up very well.  Will be using the same pair this season

I’ve just ordered a custom pair from Spyder too. Suffering from sore feet/mild PF current cricket shoes just aren’t cutting it for me.
