Hi Sir, this was very good video about cricket shoes. Can you please tell how good is Puma 19.1 spike shoes for all rounder

[@fraserjames7544]

Great video guys very informative loving the constant uploads

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Thanks Fraser 👍

[@Nilainplayz]

You guys are very amazing keep the good work ❤❤

[@AuthenticSunnah610]

Thank You for the detailed explanation on the different types of cricket shoes.

[@SeriousCricketTV]

You're welcome ☺️🏏

[@kazijavedanwar7891]

As an alrounder I didn’t put much attention on the shoe, bought a cheap one, had ankle pain and now thinking about going for a decent one, thanks for this awesome video guys

[@SeriousCricketTV]

No problem Kazi. Remember, you spend a lot of time on your feet when playing cricket so spending a little more for better quality is always worth the investment 👍

[@glennduarte]

Do you think adidas vector will the best best option for an all rounder?

[@itzdan2899]

Hi guys. Looking at the adidas bowling shoes with the strap. Heard that you recommend sizing up? What would you suggest sizing up to from an 11UK

[@ayod0011]

Can’t believe this content is free

[@vjkrishna7006]

Nice info! Thanks to both of you for sharing this! What is your reco for a batting shoe that has best toe protection against toe crushers? Any reasonable options to pick from a toe safety point of view? Thanks in advance, friends!

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi VJ, all shoes (especially those that are higher quality) will offer a level of protection for the toe (although they don't quite make shoes like they used to with reinforced toe protection). You can't go wrong with either New Balance or Adidas batting shoes as these typically have the most protective features packed into them.

[@undisputedk]

What benefit does a batsman have by doing half rubber and half spikes? Or a full rubber spike?

[@SIUUUU77777]

Good video!

[@umaraziz8653]

Great content guys, just had a quick question. I am a medium pacer, are the bowling shoes okay to field with and bat with if needed. Or would I better off looking for an all round pair?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi Umar, It's dependent on what you'd be most comfortable in. As a medium pace bowler, an all-round pair of shoes would be a great option, but equally, you will lose the support that is given by a bowling shoe 🏏

[@cricketcreation6668]

Which spikes are good for ambidextrous bowler? 🤔🤨

Thanks Ewan 👍

[@addykumar672]

Great video and explanation guys. I’m a medium pacer, however play only at a club level. I have noticed ankle pain of late with a pair of ASICS 200 not out shoes I have from a couple of years ago. Looking for a new pair, would you recommend a bowling shoe or is it possible my pain has got to do with something else and not the ASICS batting shoes I wear ? Thanks !

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi Addy, it is very difficult for us to comment on the reason as to why you are experiencing ankle pain - we would recommend seeing a professional for a diagnosis who will be able to find the cause of your issue. If you are putting a heavy load through your ankles, extra support in the shoe will always help and it may be advised that you should look at a new pair of spikes. Good luck with it all 👍

[@addykumar672]

@@SeriousCricketTV thank you very much. Do the new balance ck4040 bowling shoes come with optional rubber spikes too in the box ?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

@@addykumar672 they do come with some rubbers so that you can go half and half.

[@milkshakemuncher]

Footwear is the most crucial piece of any uniform, work or sport, but particularly when you're putting as much energy through your feet and legs as you do in cricket. Often, hip pain, knee pain and back pain stem from poor footwear, spend the money and protect yourself people.

Can you please name the shoe which is placed at the top row second one from my left beside the grey adidas

[@SeriousCricketTV]

That looks like last years Gunn & Moore Icon Spike 👍

[@timdintinger9037]

I have a badly bruised big toe from a leftie inswing Yorker. Might be bust. Do you have a batting shoe with more protection for the toes, what do you recommend apart from not putting my foot in the way of the ball?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

You guessed our first recommendation 😉 The PAYNTR XPF-19 or XPF-22 are the best options for toe protection. Check out our review we did on these shoes for more information 👉 ecs.page.link/vGJEb Shop PAYNTR on our store 👉 ecs.page.link/9KGjh

[@BabbuSingh-lq5wz]

Sorry to interrupt, I had 2 pairs for Payntr batting shoe 2022 season and both broke at the same place. Very poor build quality.

[@simonchai2785]

Is there any option for running shoes can use for batting and Fielding?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

There are some companies that add spikes to running shoes which have proven popular with many players who love a particular type of running / sports shoe.

[@anas5sherwani]

I want a suggestion! I am a fast bowler, i have been using Adidas Cri Hase for the past 4-5 years, still my Adidas are good enough! Here in my city (Lucknow, India) spikes are not allowed in matches, only studs are allowed! So i want to know whether should i go with Asics or Puma or NB?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi there, it really depends on what feels best on your feet. Unfortuantely we can't get hold of Asics in the UK anymore but they were always a really good shoe. We do still stock New Balance which are very popular also. We haven't seen any Puma for a while so wouldn't like to comment. Let us know what you decide to go with 👍

[@aryanaghav4373]

Hello I am a pace bowler what size should i choose i mean my accurate size i 9 so should i buy it or prefer 1 size bigger

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi Aryan, sizes vary between brands but if you are a size 9, that would be your best place to start.

[@akhilmannemala1959]

Which shoe is better for allrounder,like spikes or normal.

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Each brand will offer an 'all rounder' shoe which is suitable for both batting and bowling.

[@sportx6569]

Sir i am an fast bowling all-rounder and I need a spike shoe my coast is around 2500 can u suggest a good shoe for me 🙂

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi there, take a look at the video which will provide you with all the information you need to consider when buying your next pair of spikes.

[@basimnaveed4257]

Are Adidas 22 YDS good for a bowling allrounder (leg spinner)?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi Basim, the 22 YDS are designed as a lightweight batting shoe, however, that is not to say it can't be used for bowling. It will depend on whether you feel more comfortable bowling in a lighter shoe or prefer more support which you would get from an all-rounder shoe.

[@basimnaveed4257]

[@SeriousCricketTV]

@@Sam2100 it does have a separate compartment at the top which can be used for your helmet.

[@susamghosh8468]

What about keepers

[@mamba7fit]

Which spikes are good for leg spinners?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

There is no right or wrong answer here. Bowling-specific shoes offer more protection at the ankle, especially for those fast bowlers. However, you might want a lighter shoe and freedom of movement. If you feel like you need extra protection and support at the ankle, I would look at a bowling shoe. However, if you wanted something a bit lighter, you may be best looking at an all-rounder option where you can get the best of both worlds 👍

[@deepkundwani3432]

Can I use the new balance ck4040 shoes while batting as well ??

[@SeriousCricketTV]

They are designed as a bowling boot but there is nothing stopping you from wearing them when batting if you find them comfortable.

[@deepkundwani3432]

How do you define comfort here ?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

What is comfortable for one person may be very different to another as all feet are different. When we talk about the comfort we talk about something that fits well and feels good on your feet.

[@sahilchaurasia7854]

hello sir i am Fast Bowler from India . Today i Bought CK4030 W5 . i have a doubt that is this CK4030 W5 fast bowlers shoe? or only ck4040 W4 Strap shoe is fast bowler shoe??? plz reply

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Hi Sahil, thanks for your question. The New Balance CK4040 Spike would be an example of a specific Bowling Spike, designed to maximize the support, stability, cushioning, and ground impact support in the shoe. This isn't to say that an all-rounder-style cricket spike isn’t going to offer these attributes to an individual player. Mark Wood wears the CK4030 because he finds it works best for him but in terms of what would suit an individual player best - it is almost impossible for us to decide that, and would always leave that for you to decide.

[@sahilchaurasia7854]

@@SeriousCricketTV Thankyou for answering sir 👍🏻. I really been using CK4030 J4 since 2021 and now its time to buy new shoes so i bought yesterday CK4030 W5 yesterday i saw W5 model its thickness of mid to bottom was more compared to old ck4030 so i was confused that is it still the same ck4030 . So CK4030 W5 is upgraded version of CK4030 J4 RIGHT???

[@SeriousCricketTV]

Not really an upgrade but rather they just cater to a slightly different style of player. It's always just about finding the shoe that works best for you!

[@sahilchaurasia7854]

[@CricketLover-pw8md]

Hi can i use mid vector for bating

[@SeriousCricketTV]

You can use any shoe for batting, it all comes down to personal preference.

[@CricketLover-pw8md]

@@SeriousCricketTV sir thank you soo much fir your kind reply what things should be kept in consideration for changing the heel nails itno studs in simple why we should change heel nails into studs?

[@SeriousCricketTV]

You're welcome. Typically you would change the heel to studs if you were on a softer surface and felt like you needed extra grip - which a full set of spikes would do. Again, it is personal preference as to what you choose to do.

Addidas is best option available suitable for UK weather conditions. Payntr shoes looks very nice but very bad build quality. I had 2 pairs broken in 2022 season and my old Addidas still going. So stay away from Payntr.
