Advantages: Comfortable, warm, suitable for the purpose Disadvantages: Only really useful in snowy / icy weather
on the snow.
6. They need to be adjustable, so that you can easily loosen them to put them on / remove them.
7. If possible, there should be a pull-string round the ankle, so that a snug fit can be achieved, preventing snow from slipping inside your boots.
8. If possible, they need to look stylish, smart enough to wear round town as well as when striding across snow-covered terrain.
9. They need to be affordable, good enough to meet the purpose without breaking the bank.
My solution?
I have invested in a pair of Hi-tec St. Moritz 200 brown / cream boots, which I bought at the local Outdoor shop. I recommend that you buy them at a specialist outdoors shop, so that you can try them on with suitable socks, to check their fit and level of comfort. It is a good idea to try on a pair one size larger than your normal shoes.

Advantages: Excellent grip and very light. Disadvantages: Narrow shoe.
Overall these are very decent shoes for the money. Great grip on court and very light.
Though you have a wider foot, like myself, these shoes are not for you. They are quite narrow and take some stretching. Order a (UK) half size larger than you are usually for best fit.

This bat has got to be one of the best bats I have ever played with!

So if you could possibly pick one of these up from india or pakistan then the price you pay would be greatly reduced than if you bought it from an english shop who will whack a high premium on these bats.
This bat is the stereotypical sub continent bat with a low middle and a large bowed blade that ...
