Adidas Howzat 2 R Cricket Shoes

Advantages: Comfortable, well made, reasonable price
Disadvantages: not a lot of toe protection

...I have starting playing indoor cricket, and have been playing on polished wooden surfaces, where grip has been important, especially when bowling. I found the Adidas Uproar to be very comfortable, although not specifically designed for cricket, although taking one on the foot from an indoor ball still hurts. For bowling I found grip very good, essential if you want to avoid turning your ankle over when bowling, even though these are a low cut trainer. The bottom of the shoe has a non-marking indoor sole, and good traction. A cross trainer cut would be a plus, although these shoes were good value and being well made will undoubtedly last for a long time.... Read review

Advantages: Comfort
Disadvantages: Squeek

...I recently bought my self a paid of these shoes, and for the price they were a very good product. They are extreamly comfortable and I dont have aching feet after long day of golf as i usually do. I do usually go for Footjoy and i dont like to deviate away from what i know, but i decided to go for a change and i am very happy I did. To design is ok just depends what you like they are a bit individual with the adidas striped going all round the shoe and under the sole. They breath well and are so far, waterproof. the only small problem that when your feeet get slighly damp coz of sweating they start to squeek slightly and can be very annoying. But that is just a small thing and is proably my wonky feet. They are light on foot and are easy walking. All in all a good shoe well worth the money if you want to get away from Footjoy....

Advantages: good protection, looks good
Disadvantages: prefer white version to reflect sun better, sweat

...This sun hat as with others is a necessary tool for anybody who spends a lot of time in the great outdoors during summertime. For those of us fortunate enough to enjoy playing or watching cricket the sun hat is an excellent way to protect your head and neck from hot burning sunshine and to be fair, with the ECB logo does look pretty cool. From my point of view the downside ( due to a bald head no doubt ) is the fact that whilst wearing it there can be a build up of sweat around the rim on a very hot day! This can be very irritable and uncomfortable. The white version of this product is definetly preferable due to sun reflective quality and therefore the ability to keep cool... Read review
