Wide Fit Soccer Cleats (Boots) - Nike CTR360

I have wide, flattish, feet and love to play soccer - and this can be a problem when you're feet are size 12 1/2 to 13.

I've taken to wearing turf shoes the past two seasons because they're so much more comfortable than regular cleats - even Copas (which stretch well, but have a really narrow plate) are a problem as they are fine during the game but the next day my feet really hurt...

Luckily I was browsing Nike's website to see if they had any wide-fit boots now (almost nobody does) and lo and behold - they have a customizeable boot called the Trequartista III that comes in a wide fit.

Nike CTR360 Trequartista III FG iD (Wide) Men's Firm-Ground Soccer Cleat

You have to order direct from Nike's online store, and they're not cheap at $135, but you get to customize the studs, plate, upper, tongue, laces, et cetera - but most importantly they have 12 1/2 WIDE fit.

Thank God...  Sadly you have to wait 25 days while they make them and ship them to you though...

Mine will look like this:

Let's hope they fit well :).

Weekends results...

Liverpool absolutely destroyed Derby County this weekend in the Premiership, 6-0. Derby's defending was diabolical; however, nobody should be beaten 6-0 in the Premiership. To be honest, it could have been 9 or 10.

Highlights below :)



The result has Liverpool top of the league table and holding the greatest goal differential. Go Reds!

Weekends results...

Liverpool beat Sunderland soundly 2-0, and Manchester United, yet again, received favorable treatment at Old Twatford. Two penalites, one stonewall on Vidic, and the other a penalty but very difficult for the referee to call and I'd rather they didn't call them unless they really saw them. Manchester United 1-0 over Tottenham Hotspur. Hopefully Martin Jol's board will realize how well they played and avoid doing something so disastrously stupid as handing him his P45.

I must say that the quality of the refereeing this early in the season has certainly been at least 'questionable.' Some of the calls, like Styles' from last week, have been downright ridiculous. Too bad FIFA has the FA by the b******* about using video technology. We'll see.
