New soccer cleats. You’re looking at a picture of the old one for my right foot. I bought a lot of new soccer gear recently—meet the reason I bought new footwear for my game tomorrow.

Remembering I needed new cleats. It kept slipping my mind this week, but last night, I wrote myself a note so I wouldn’t forget. Packing my gear on Sunday morning for an 8:30 game and finding this… yeah, that’s a no-go for playing that day.

Dick’s Sporting Goods. Not too far of a drive with a decent selection of soccer cleats. It took a few tries to find a pair that fits well enough, but I had the time and they had the selection.

The kid working in Dick’s shoe department. He didn’t know a lot about cleats, but he knew enough. And he’s the person who got them out of the back room, so I’m grateful he was able to do that for me, too.

Buying the cleats a day before the game. Sure, wearing them for a couple hours while sitting around the house doesn’t do much for breaking them in, but not doing much is way better than nothing at all.
