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 cricketshoe, 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!

Advantages: Starts off well. Amazing special effects. Disadvantages: All over the place. Cruddy dialogue. Can't make up its mind what it wants to be.

"In the near future", out of four hundred applicants for a new Navy programme, only three aviators have been selected. Of course, being America, they're all young and easy on the eye and not at all the experienced aviators you'd expect to fly the state of the art machines. Lt. Ben Gannon (the attractive male one), Lt. Kara Wade (the attractive female one) and Lt. Henry Purcell (the black one) are young hotshots with plenty of attitude who work well as a team under their commanding officer, Capt. George Cummings.
Having completed their training with (no pun intended) flying colours, Cummings takes the team on their first assignment to the aircraft ...

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. ...
