Cricket shoes have to deal with a lot more than running in a straight line. Shop adult cricket shoes and cricket spikes at Pro:Direct Cricket, including spike and turf options from adidas, New Balance, Payntr, Gunn & Moore, Gray-Nicolls, Kookaburra, Newbery and PUMA. Whether you're batting, bowling, keeping or spending most of Saturday chasing the ball around the boundary, start with the surface and work from there.
Cricket spikes are the main choice for matches on grass. The extra grip helps when you're pushing off for a quick single, changing direction in the field or trying to keep the front foot stable at the end of a bowling run-up. The current range includes adidas Howzat, 22YDS and adiPower options, New Balance CK models, Gunn & Moore Aion and Kryos, plus spikes from Kookaburra, Gray-Nicolls, Newbery and PUMA.
Cricket turf shoes make more sense for indoor nets, artificial surfaces, harder practice areas and training where metal spikes would be unnecessary. adidas Howzat and 22YDS turf shoes sit alongside Gray-Nicolls Velocity, Gunn & Moore Kryos and Maxi, Newbery 360, Kookaburra KC and other rubber-soled options. If most of your cricket happens in the nets before the season starts, a turf pair will probably get far more use than you think.
Your role changes what feels right too. Batters usually benefit from cricket shoes that feel quick enough for sharp singles and repeated movement at the crease. Bowlers put more load through the shoe, particularly through the delivery stride and landing, so support and stability become harder to ignore once the overs start adding up. All-rounders have the usual problem of wanting one pair to do both jobs, which is where a balanced cricket shoe with secure lockdown and enough cushioning tends to make the most sense.
adidas cricket shoes are one of the biggest routes through the collection, with Howzat, 22YDS and adiPower models across spikes and turf. New Balance cricket shoes are another major part of the range, including CK4040, CK4030, CK4020 and CK10 options. Payntr brings more all-round and speed-focused choices, while Gray-Nicolls, Kookaburra, Gunn & Moore and Newbery give you plenty of traditional cricket-brand alternatives.
Fit still deserves more attention than the logo. Your heel should stay secure when you push forward, with enough room through the forefoot that a full day does not turn into a battle with hot spots. Cricket shoes that feel slightly annoying in the kitchen tend to feel considerably more annoying somewhere around the 60th over.
Browse adult cricket shoes by spikes or turf, then narrow by batting, bowling, brand and size. Start with cricket spikes for grass matchdays, turf cricket shoes for nets and harder surfaces, or compare all-round options if one pair needs to cover most of your season.
