I realize that this is not the usual sort of question that we post on this forum...but I'm desperate. My grandson age 13 years needs soccer shoes with cleats in size 15. Called everywhere within a 100 mile radius and even the warehouses are out of stock for the next 4 weeks in size 15. By then soccer season would be over. DOES ANYONE happen to have a pair of shoes SIZE 15 MENS to sell at a fair price ???? I would even consider soccer shoes without cleats ?? Thank You !!!!!!!!!!

We ran into this problem with our then 16 year old, when he needed size 16 wrestling shoes! It was kinda the straw that broke the camel's back, and he got off the team.

we ran into that kind of thing when Nathan was about 13. Call every Wal-Mart you have in your area....they were the only place we could find big enough shoes for him back then! Thank goodness his feet finally stopped growing! Also, if you have a radio swap shop type deal, put your question on there...and try calling all the schools, churches, anybody else you can think of! good luck! wish we had some to send you!

Have you tried e-bay?

Check out last years high school yearbook - does anyone know if any of the seniors played? Chances are, they aren't playing this year, and may be willing to donate their shoes. Any of his soccer buddies have older brothers? Try the Salvation Army, Goodwill, Catholic Charities, etc... Good luck!

Great suggestions, how about calling a major shoe company and asking for last years model, a donation-promise to pass them on-sounds like he'll outgrow them before he'll wear them out! Good luck!
