A new pair of soccer cleats

Last Thursday at my son's soccer practice,

one of his teammates kicked his ball over the fence

so my son went to look for it for him.

He found it in a small creek by the practice field.

He, of course, went in and got it,

BUT his soccer cleats were soaking wet!!!!

He didn't tell me this until after the practice...

"Mom, my cleats make squishy noise!"  - I bet they do :-(

At home, he told me that the cleats smalt AWFUL.

Yes, they are!!! They smelt like... a cat peed on them (really)

I washed them with a brush... but no luck on that...

So, we decided to buy the new ones.

My son is only 9 years old, but his feet are as big as my feet.

We figured that he won't be able to wear the smelly cleats

at the next season anyway.

So, we went to Sports Authority yesterday (with a coupon, of course!)

before his practice.

My son found a pair of cleats he likes, and he tried them on.

Those were size 6 Youth.

A guy at the store told us that my son should try a little larger size

so we look for them in an adult shoe section.

He tried size 7 Adult - those fit great.

It's just...

that the adult size shoes were 15 dollars more than the youth ones.

They are just little bit larger... man.

Well, my son was happy, so it all the matter, right?

(not really, but I guess...)

Here are the brand new cleats - shining!

Soon after the practice started, here comes rain...

1.5 hours later ... those look like this...

Oh, boy...
