I'm getting plate shoes!!

[Tksjewelry]

Mizuno Japan took pity on me and is willing to ship me a pair! It's not their top of the line shoes (which don't come in my size) but they are plate shoes. It took me 6 emails back and forth to get them to understand that I definitely cannot buy any plate shoes in the states. I won't get them until May, as they are out of stock in my size right now, but that's only a few weeks into the season and before tournaments start.

Great! But ...why can't you get them here?

Tiny feet. I wear a 5 in men's.

Can't you just stuff the toes with socks?

I wish! Men's feet are wider too. I tried on the only brand in 6 men's that I could find. Tightened up, I could still step right out of them.

Congratulations.

I have this sneaking suspicion, Tks, that despite your size 5's, every player, manager, or coach who has ever come after you has walked away from the encounter feeling like they just got their asses whupped by some serious size 13's.

Glad you're getting them - makes all the difference in the world. Now... On to the pants issue! I'm already begging Marvin Hudson to come up with something. 😀

Have you tried the Honig's? I think they're new. I can't get them to send me a picture of them and they don't list the color.
