I have just returned from Brian & Brenda Cricket Shoes in Harrow to get a pair of Nike Court Vapor Lite White/Black trainers fully spiked by them. From the outside, you would not think much of it apart from when you look in the shop window and see some cricket memorabilia, but when you go inside, there is a jukebox playing away and hanging up on the back wall are numerous photos of cricketers from various eras who have used their service.
They are only open from 10:00 to 11:00 Monday to Saturday due to personal reasons, so I had to take the opportunity to go there and take a very early lunch hour to get there (luckily my full time occupation is based in Borehamwood, so it is not that far from there).
I was advised by Brian that it is a 3 week turnaround, which I completely understand but for £30, I am not going to complain, looking forward to seeing the finished result in 3 weeks time.
I currently have a pair of Nike Revolution 5 Triple White trainers that were spiked by Cheshire Shoe Repairs for £52 (including return delivery) last season; due to the upper material, they are not as white as they was (should have choose a trainer with better upper material).
I recently attempted to convert an old and dilapidated pair of Nike Air Max 95 trainers of mine into spikes, but I did fail to create a bond between the sole of the trainer and the new spiked sole I had created, mainly due to the sole of the trainer have multiple grooves at different depths; I am looking to carry out my own attempt again on a pair of trainers with a flatter sole but was wondering if anyone on here could give me any advice, guidance, assistance on this; anything would be truly grateful as I have the materials for the sole and spikes/fixings, just need to know what is the best glue and what is the best method to obtain the best bond between the trainer and spiked sole.
