I bought my first pair of good soccer shoes in 1983 at Soccer Express, a pair of Belotti Tornado studs. They were one of the finest soccer boots ever made. I loved the service and knowledge that the Soccer Express staff provided so much ,that when I finally got my drivers license, I applied for a job. I started working at Soccer Express in the summer of 1987, and I currently serve as General Manager for the company. It's been awesome to see the growth of soccer in Minnesota over the past 20 years. I'm proud to say that Soccer Express has played a significant part in that growth.
