I've got a pair of these http://www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag_4_5/brands/umbro/product_details.aspx?pid=41086&cid=5171

Do me fine on a dry or wet pitch, i got mine from Sports Direct for £18. Biggest problem might be trying to find the right size, most i've seen end at 12. But a trainer of similar style to that should be good.

I'm pretty sure that we (JJB) don't do any size 13 or 14 astros sorry... you big footed freak!

I'll check though.

You don't need moulded boots for Astroturf use. Normal Astroturf trainers are fine - wet or dry I've had no problem in the 10 years I have been playing in my local league.

Depends on the surface. Old skool astro then yer trainers are fine. But if it's the new JJB Soccer Dome/Powerleague fake grass surface then I'd prefer mouldies personally. Very slippy when wet.

Indeed, you can get away with it on the carpet type ones but like TTT said it goes all Bon Jovi otherwise
