Title: Best shoe for cushioning/comfort
Post by: Wozaboxa on October 03, 2021, 01:02:35 PM: Hi All, looking to replace my puma cricket spikes, I find I need a shoe with plenty of heel cushioning, I'm a heavier gentleman and find at the end of a game (I don't bowl) my feet are killing me, mainly on the heel area, I'm not sure if this is down to Plantar but I don't really get it with football boots or normal trainers. just my cricket shoes.

Looking for some recommendations.

With spikes though I think the comfort depends so much on the individual's foot shape and gait etc so it's probably worth trying on a few.

Another option might be getting a pair of comfortable and supportive trainers spiked up?

As I bowl (medium trundle these days) I want some support that spiking trainers wouldnt provide so have opted for the Payntre 263 all rounder shoes which I purchased in a sale for £50 - not worn in anger but great support and plenty of cushioning compared to the orginal style

Got some Adidas Ultraboosts spiked up and been an absolute game changer. Better than any spikes I’ve ever worn!
