Specifically, let's talk about this pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII PRO SGs that I just bought at Marshall's.







They're an 8.5, and I need a 9 or 9.5. I hoped I could squeeze my foot into them, but I couldn't.

Before I return them, anybody here interested in them?

They had a different pair of Mercurials in a 9.5. Great back-up pair for me.

But I couldn't pass up the $250 ones.... I had to try. If my foot didn't go numb, I would keep them.

Not much. $50? $60?

IDGAF, I'd just rather turn them over to someone here than return them, and let the plebes get their sweaty paws on them.

Or god forbid a Mexican buy them.

Yeah, they're legit. Trust me, if they were 9.5s and not 8.5s we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Can someone explain to me why this is a thread? Did you buy an expensive pair for really cheap or something?

Sheep was able to purchase some serious cleats at Marshalls. They are too small for Sheep. Sheep is giving people first option on the cleats. Otherwise, Sheep will return them.

I can't keep up with new cleats nowadays, but I think that Sheep is trying to give someone a decent deal on them before he returns them.

Yeah. I've been wearing the lesser versions of Mercurials for years. I feel like I *feel* the ball better.

These are FINE. It sucks that they are 8.5s. I bought a silver pair of Mercurials last night, too (that actually fit). I looked them up on the Nike website.... they were the $225 version. I'm stoked.

Not even 50 bucks. I'm trying to save a little profit/finder's fee, here.
