a) They cost a shitload of cash I shouldn't have spent
b) They give great ankle support and I have a bad right ankle courtesy of a ruptured tendon playing indoor soccer. It should have been surgically repaired but I am a sook!
I'm gunna give em the flick not because of the crap I wear but the last couple of times I have ended up with a bruised ball of my left foot. Brad will be pleased he hates them!!
