from left to right...firm ground, soft ground, turf

[Gunner18]

as u can tell i use my shoes hard, the pair on the left are held together w/ athletic tape as u can c, but i still wear 'em all the time. ive had them for 5 years and wouldnt give 'em up for anything!

Nice pics gunner. Thanks. Are your shoes going into retirement anytime soon?

[Gunner18]

of course not, the shoe on the left has at least 3 good seasons remaining, the shoe in the middle has probly 2 or 3 (i only wear them in terribly wet weather which destroys the leather faster) and the shoe on the right should be around for about 5 years. the shoe on the left ive had for 5 years, middle shoe 2 years and left shoe 4 years. like i said its nearly impossible to give up a pair of shoes that u break in like i have. it will b a sad sad day for me when i hang up my boots for the final time.

Gunner's shoes would last longer if his feet werent covered in fungus.

One other thing about the soccer cleat as opposed to the football cleat. As you can see in the pic of Gunner's boots, the sole is thin and doesn't wrap up around the leather like the football cleat.

Gunner, do you order you Diadora replacement spikes on the internet or can you get them at Dunham's or somewhere else local? I lose like half a dozen a day.

My hard ground Puma's have been an unbelievable shoe for me. They are beginning to give way and I will sorely miss them.
