Unlike bats, where nothing much has changed over the past century (despite modern size and profile differences they’re still pieces of wood) cricket footwear has evolved beyond recognition to allow pros and amateurs alike to play to the highest standards possible.
Thankfully, the obvious athletic limitations offered by those heavy leather beetle crushers, high-topped lace-up boots and knock-in spikes have been transcended by made-for-purpose shoes that are lightweight, comfortable and packed with shared technologies used in other sports.
Whatever your tastes and requirements, new models and second-generation updates are all to be found; the strap is back on a bowling boot and bright colour pops or monotone options mean there’s something for everyone.
Our choices came down to what role we play and what simply caught our eye. Read on to find out why we’ve picked what we have.
We’ll be running through bats, footwear, batting equipment and wicket keeping over the next few weeks so keep checking back here to see our top picks!
