This ible will show you how to get a little more life out of your kid's athletic shoes. I am going to show how to convert a pair of soccer shoes into a fashionable and somewhat practical pair of sandals. Time to add a little Style to the game of soccer footwear.

I would have to imagine there are millions of parents out there that cringe at the beginning of a new soccer, baseball, football, or lacrosse season. In reality any sports season for their child.

Why? Because with every new season comes buying new uniforms and gear! The smart parents who have kids in Club sports usually buy uniforms a little on the big size to get a couple years out of them. You can't do that with sport shoes. Shoes/Cleats just have to fit right. You just can't send your kids out there with clown shoes. Or can we? They'd be tripping up all over the place looking like a fool. :-)

It is just a hard pill to swallow knowing in just a couple weeks I will be heading up to the local sporting goods store to drop another $30-$50 on a pair of soccer cleats that will only be used for about 3 months.
