Kookaburra Players Cricket Spikes (UK 8)

Packed with gamechanging technology, the Kookaburra Players Cricket Spike is designed to meet the demands of professional players, offering the best possible performance in every regard. The TEX3 triple-layered upper features coated airflow mesh and reinforcement in key areas to give the ultimate combination of breathability and durability, while the elasticated, knitted tongue ensures a comfortable fit. Smart touches such as the Q-LOCK technology for the laces and a pull loop at the tongue make sure the fit stays consistent as you play. A 3D-moulded EVA midsole absorbs impact forces to reduce strain on the body, combining with a HEELplate balance pad at the rearfoot for maximum support and stability. Underfoot, the shoe’s lightweight TraX PRO outsole features nine specially designed spikes that use a mix of metal and composite materials, saving on weight while offering superior traction. They’re complemented by moulded studs and blades, with the arrangement enabling both straight-line speed and quick, accurate moves in any direction.

Batting
Designed for agile footwork and comfort over long periods, cricket shoes made for batting tend to feature lightweight, breathable materials that allow you to move freely and stay fresh during extended spells at the crease. Underneath, they have tread or spikes arranged for optimal grip, so you can step into position precisely and with confidence. They’re usually the best option for non-bowling fielders, too, with those same attributes translating particularly well to slip catching and wicketkeeping.
