Kookaburra Cricket Shoes

Choosing the right cricket shoe

Perhaps one of the biggest decisions in the Extra's column outside of the >cricket clothing are the shoes you choose to wear. Over the last few seasons, the number of cricket shoe options has increased exceedingly, making it harder to choose the best suited option for your playing style.

Luckily, with Kookaburra we make it easy. Choose between spike or rubber soled cricket shoes. What’s the difference? Both are functional and comfortable, however the position you play and type of pitch you play on could affect which one you choose.

Rubber vs spike soled cricket shoes

Full-spike shoes are often worn but professional bowlers, as they provide better grip on the ground when bowling. Half-spike shoes have spikes only in the front and are often worn by batsmen, as they provide more mobility to move across the field. Rubber studded shoes are incredibly effective when it comes to moving around on a hard cricket ground, as they provide better mobility on a harder surface.

Our spike cricket shoes are top-of-the-line and feature a low-profile design, cage technology for extra support, and a shock absorbing insole. Similar in style, our rubber cricket shoes feature a sleek design, shock absorbing insole and a premium rubber outsole. Available in a range of sizing options for juniors and adult players, as well as colours – finding the perfect shoe to walk out on the pitch with is easy with Kookaburra.
