Puma Signature Bowling Boot

Advantages: Quality, durability, comfort.
Disadvantages: Nothiing, but try to get a lower price online.

...I should stress before starting this review that I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a bowler, so what follows is written very much from the point of view of a batsman/wicket keeper. BASIC INFORMATION The Puma Signature Full Spike is a lace up cricket shoe, and, as the name suggests, is spiked both at the toe and heel end of the shoe. It is predominantly white, with a red, black & grey trim and retails at between £40 and £60 (as usual, you'll pick up some better deals online if you search it out). The heel has 4 spikes, the toe 6, but it is possible to fit fakes to keep just the toe half spiked or to fit pimple spikes, but there are plenty of shoes out there that offer this as a basic anyway, and it would make sense that, were you looking to buy a 'full spike' shoe, you'd be looking to keep them all in! I purchased... Read review

Advantages: wide fitting, kangeroo
Disadvantages: expensive

...Ever since I was a kid I wanted a pair of puma kings and now I finally have them they do not disappoint. Having wide feet these boots fit me alot better than other brands(namely addidas predators that didnt fit at all well). The aluminium tipped studs are still firm in after 1 season with no sign of becoming loose or dangerous. Due to the material used Pittards 80 SDL leather they do not shrink when wet and breath well.

However the age old techonology of studs is behind other boots unlike the predators and newer puma kings tend to hurt the parts of your feet where the studs are on harder ground in a hard game. These boots will last and work hard when you do.... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, reliable, simple but effective.
Disadvantages: Might not appeal to someone after a flashy boot.

...After recently being persuaded by a friend to try on his Puma king Pro's, I rushed to the shops to purchase a pair of the exact same boot. In the past I had questioned the need for such an expensive pair of footwear. However, after using them for a period of time I can recommend them to any budding footballer. The Pittards upper is soft without losing the feel for a ball, with extreme comfort. Indeed, I have once worn them for a 5 hour football epic and my feet were only slightly sore as opposed to blistered all over. Also, after treating them with little respect by leaving them to become mouldy in a plastic bag, the leather is still extremely soft and the boot is a joy to slip on. On the field the Puma King Pro acts as it should do, it lets you feel the ball, it grips the ball well when adding curl, and translates the power from your... Read review
