Overpronate cricket shoes.

[sa]

Does anyone know such thing exist? I know asics are the best interms of stability shoes and the only cricket shoes I could find were $200 from Australia. How are CA shoes interms of stability? any particular model?

Sorry for the late response. I haven't tried CA so I won't be able to comment on them. I am an over pronator too. The best ones I have found to help me with this issue are either the Asics gel speed menace or any of the nike spikes. You will find really good deals for the older nike spikes models like the 2010 one. I tried adidas last year series but didn't like them at all as my foot is a bit wide so didn't use them much, but they weren't that stable. But if you get the opportunity do check out their new one called vector( sorry if the name is not right), a lot of players are using it. In UK and Australia there are loads of companies popping up which can spike up any trainer you want. So have a look around, wear them yourself and then decide. I hope I was helpful enough!

I will be more interested in finding a cricket batting shoes that is super light weight, should have a firm grip but most importantly it should have a strong and solid front toe protection so that you could confidently deal with quick n fast yorkers and misread deliveries on the front foot that are too full. Haven't found many though. I think slaz had one such model.

Caterpillar makes steel toe sneakers but they are too heavy and out of cricket colors.

Free bird if it suits your budget just get these http://www.asics.co.uk/Shop/Cricket/GEL-ADVANCE-5/p/0010171679.0122. They have what they call a P guard to protect your toes too. Otherwise get half a size up of whatever you get and wear an ankle sock on your left foot
