I run the business with my best friend and college, not roommate, but my college neighbor.
And, you know, it really started because, well, the business itself started 25 years ago because of a need.
The original founder, Anthony Ambrosini, his brother played professional baseball, said, man,
If I could, you know, I'm having feet problems and leg problems.
If I could just play baseball in my shoes, I know all these problems would go away.
And so Anthony went to work.
He said, okay, let's make you a pair of cleats out of your shoes.
And so he cut up a pair of actual cleats.
glued the cleat plates onto the shoes and gave them to his brother and said, okay, here you go.
And, you know, played more time and got healthy and stronger.
Never made it to the big leagues to my knowledge, but was able to play.
And so that's how custom cleats began.
It's evolved and morphed.
We still serve thousands of athletes that have medical conditions or issues that are solved by having shoes, including a number of who are in the major leagues.
been called by trainers this spring training and doing special projects for guys and you would see them all over the league you wouldn't know who they are but there's guys that need that help and then of course as rules and regulations for what colors of shoes you can wear and what you can wear kind of relaxed suddenly you wanted guys to be able to make a statement on the fashion side and so custom cleats has grown from a need of one player
to servicing thousands of athletes around the world and our what we do is we take any sneaker and make it into a cleat and it's a simple process we carve into the shoe without compromising its stability pretty much i tell people whatever the shoe felt like before it's going to feel like afterward but now you're going to have cleats on the bottom you're going to have traction
So baseball is our biggest sport.
Golf is up and coming.
Our golf conversions are unbelievable and you can show up with some of the most fashionable shoes or maybe you want comfort because you're going to walk 18 holes and you want to be in that floating on clouds, the on shoes that don't have golf.
We're there for you.
