Cleats

It has been a saga trying to find new cleats for Courtney.  She has ordered 5 or 6 pairs and none of them have worked.  The new Nike cleats have an insert that brings up the arch which hurts Courtney's feet. Some of them weren't the right size.  It has just been a pain.  Luckily all were returnable so we weren't out any money, just a lot of time and frustration.

Courtney had ordered cleats back in January from Nike that were perfect.  However, Nike sold more than they had so they refunded our money and she didn't get the cleats.  She was so sad because they looked perfect, were the newest model, and weren't too expensive.  They even had shown availability in her size so she was excited.  But they didn't work out.

Fast forward 2 months and one day Courtney noticed (because she is on the Nike website daily) that the perfect pair of cleats was back in stock in her size.  She hurriedly bought some and then watched her email to see if they would ship this time or if they would oversell like last time.  She got a shipping confirmation and was thrilled.  But at the same time she was a bit nervous.  If they didn't work then she would really be bummed.  If they did work then she would be mad that Nike had cancelled the first order because it would have saved her a lot of trouble. 

The cleats finally came and...they are prefect!  All that aggregation would have been avoided if they hadn't oversold the first time but she now has bought her last pair of cleats.  Kind of a sad day but she was thrilled they work!


We won't have any problems finding her on the field if we just look for the bright orange cleats!
