The trickle chargers are okay, I used to use a motorcycle one for the cars during the winter. The edge that the tender has is that it is a "smart" device. It knows when to deliver the power. Still, it's about triple the cost of a trickle charger so there is the trade-off. Trouble with these stores is that unless they have the shoe in Inventory then the supply is kaput. Best deal I could get from Nike is availability October 24th; out of stock on everything except the shoe my sporting goods store friend found. Poor scheduling, I would think. It's the beginning of basketball season and the teams are chewing up the inventory for the bigger kids. Similar to Hershey running out of cocoa just prior to Halloween. Anyway, I should be set. Nike is blue-labelling the first pair and from there I should get the "BigFoot" pair from the factory by mid-month. Then it's just a question of cycling the inventory by re-purchasing BigFoots every time a pair wears out. Need to trade a lot of spoos to feed this kid, now I have to work overtime for special-ordered footwear. Killer was not the best trade I ever made in my life, I should have put a Stop in at birth; any baby around 12 pounds Sell and cut my losses.
