The top priority in choosing a cricket shoe is that it offers you the best comfort and grip. Fortunately, we stock some of the biggest and best brand names in the cricket industry today.
You can choose your shoe depending on the type of surface you play on. As a general rule, shoes with metal cricket spikes are better suited to soft ground while pimpled or lugged rubber soles are better on harder ground.
Batters usually prefer spikes at the front for grip and rubber-treaded heels, while Bowlers tend to go for bowling boots that have spikes on the front and back for improved grip, with additional support around the ankles for better protection and flexibility.

Most bowling boots offer customisable cricket spikes, allowing them to be removed, changed or replaced when necessary.
