I play indoor soccer in a vain attempt to get a bit of exercise every week. It’s a good time, but ever since the Sportsplex installed new turf, my old Sambas just haven’t been cutting it. The new kicks have little nubs on the bottom, which will theoretically let them grip the new turf (fake grass on a bed of ground up tires) much better than my old sambas did. I’ll be upset if I don’t go out there and tear it up tonight.

My excitement about trying these out might just offset the 10PM start time. Ugh. Think the new shoes will compensate for my lack of fitness? Definitely. No doubt about it. It’s gotta be the shoes, right?
