Mismatch




Most people wouldn't understand...but kickers do.  Last year I overheard a woman sitting in the bleachers commenting to another lady about the poor boy on the football team who didn't even have matching football cleats.  Morgan was that boy and is that boy again this year.  It's not that we can't afford to buy him matching cleats.   It's that he needs a smaller, less bulky cleat for his kicking foot.  He gets two new pairs of cleats each year.  This year he chose UA football cleats and Nike soccer cleats.  The soccer cleats are exactly 1 size smaller than his football cleats. He wears only the left football cleat and the right soccer cleat.  The smaller soccer cleat allows for more of a solid kick.  The soccer cleats cost us a whopping $1.97.  Not bad considering the left cleat has never left the shoe box.
