Cricket shoes are worn by all cricketers when playing the sport of cricket. Cricket shoes are very similar to an ordinary trainer in design, however there is a big difference and that is that they have extra grip on the soles of the shoe to allow for fast movement and quick, acrobatic turns and jumps by fielders. The extra grip also provides the batsmen with extra friction aiding in their acceleration towards the wickets to score runs, whilst also ensuring that they rarely slip over when turning back for the next run. Some of the top cricket shoes will even have little spikes in them, similar to those found in running track shoes used by sprinters and other athletes.

There are several different manufacturers with an interest in cricket shoes, ranging from large multinational corporations such as Adidas to smaller, more specialist companies like Kookaburra and Gunn & Moore. Slazenger, Gray Nicolls, Puma, Asics and Woodworm also make a range of cricket shoes for all sizes and sexes of cricket player. Adidas offer a large range of cricket shoes and they are all very expensive unless bought from an online store such as owzat-cricket.co.uk which offers substantial discounts on all cricket shoes. As can be expected with large multinationals, Adidas have bided their time researching and studying the market and the sport of cricket before carefully developing their own product to ensure that they produce a market leading cricket shoe. As such an Adidas shoe is definitely a recommended purchase, particularly if you can find one at a discounted price.
