First of all, we have to understand that none of us were there, on the field, calling the game. So, there's the whole YHTBT aspect to take into consideration.

He's gone!

Great story! I would have loved to see the "gusto and flourish!"

That's a game where you go straight to the bank with the check and cash it.

Yeah, I saw the 4E shoes at WebExpress. I don't need them that wide. The 2E width should be just fine. If I were just buying the shoes, I would have ordered them from WebExpress. But...

I would assume that they look very similar to their K90 high top, seeing at they seem to keep the same look between their K80 and K70 shoes. However, I do not know for sure.
