I just got mine about a week ago from shoebuy. I tried them on and couldn't believe I was in plate shoes. I wore them about an hour around the house to start breaking them in; they feel like tennis shoes.

I can't wait to get them on the field........

felt so good on my initial wearing/try on that I went out and worked a game in them that very day, within minutes of trying them on. They felt great immediately. I Never looked back. Sold my Gerry Davis high tops the next week.

The reflective silver N logo comes in very handy when you're jogging at night in your plate shoes.

I polished over it on my original pair and I left it alone on my back-ups. (If you rotate between two pairs of shoes, they both last twice as long. Don't ask me why. But once I settle on a good pair of shoes, I immediately buy a second pair.)

I was aware that Americans had become innumerate, but it sometimes astonishes me just how bad the situation has become.
