When umpires fall

He did have one pair of 10-1/2 EEs (I wear an E-width shoe), so I scarfed them up pretty quickly because the Spot-Bilts I had worn for the previous six or seven years to that point were showing their signs of age.

I finally broke out the "new" pair this season (even though my old ones are still servicable). No issues yet with the extra width, but that's because it's been so damn cold here, I've doubled up on the socks! I hope these last just as long as my previous pair!
