My last pair of cleats crapped out at exactly this time last year. WTF? Why not wait until, say, November? Why fall apart in the middle of the busiest part of the season?
Note: the duct tape you see below is the only thing that keeps my toes from poking out the sides.
This year I sprung for the expensive kind, made out of a leather that I don’t even want to type here because it makes me cringe. (hint: it rhymes with bangaroo):
Shiny! They’re going for a whirl tonight. Here’s hoping they produce fewer blisters than the last pair.

Awesome! Shiny!
(I was afraid when I saw the title that you were, like, “hangin’ up your cleats.” That wouldn’t be good.)

They look clean and shiny! Hope you get some dirt on ‘em. My hiking boots wear out every three years exactly as well… I suspect it’s part mental. I suspect yours wore out well before now, judging by the duct tape. It’s tough to put a good pair of shoes to rest.

ooooo…. pretty! I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who gets blisters! I have prefectly good cleats, but when you’re playing without subs, all that running gets a little hard!

Gotta love the duct tape effort.
They were a good pair.
