Adidas also create bespoke boots depending if you’re a batter or a bowler.

Kookaburra
A traditional slick all white design combined with protection throughout the whole foot. Kookaburra’s lightweight insole, heel and front support help reduce shockwaves.

Puma
As one of the biggest sporting apparel brands in the world, it’s no surprise to see cricketing icons such as Virat Kohli and New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum endorsing the brand. Offering the right mixture of speed and stability, Puma have several versions of their boots available depending on if you prefer the extra comfort of having a strap.
New Balance
Having launched a new and exciting range for the 2018 season, this time round New Balance decided to focus their attention on designing a cricket spike to withstand the force produced by bowling at maximal effort. New Balance have also created boots that are lightweight enough for fielders to cover large amounts of turf when fielding in the deep.
