New Balance V3 MLB All-Black Low-Cut Umpire Plate Shoes

Awesome plate shoe!!! Switching to a 2E wide shoe made a world of difference in how long I was able to remain on my feet. If your feet hurt around the ball, on the outside edge, give the 2E width a try even if you don't normally wear wider shoes! It worked for me!!!

Great shoe, easy to clean and feels good on my feet.

Bought these shoe last year. Have used them for almost two seasons now. They replaced a twenty year old pair of spot bilt low cut. I ordered the low and mid, kept the mid cut. Much lighter, very comfortable. Went with mid cut because they seemed to give me more support behind the plate. Would highly recommend these shoes and Ump-Attire.com is great on returns and working with you and answering all your questions. Thanks Ump-Attire.com!

Solid umpire plate shoes with good comfort. Easy to keep clean also.

Very comfortable and love the ability to get the New Balance in a wider width!

Nice shoe. The weight of the shoe is okay. The fit is very good and true sized. For me, the arch support is too far forward so I'll replace the insert with a custom orthotic. Good value.

Best umpire plate shoes I have ever had! The feel and comfort is beyond compare. Taken direct shots off the toe of the shoe and no problem whatsoever! 5 Stars across the board!

I think this is the best shoe for the plate because they are light weight and protective. I can concentrate on umpiring.

Shoes fit to size. Extremely easy to clean. Look great.

I wanted to upgrade and a fellow umpire recommended these plate shoes. I will not wear another set of plate shoes again. These are the best hands down. Plus the two-minute review by my man Scott Kennedy helped seal the deal on buying this product.

I have both mid and low New Balance Plate Shoes which are very comfortable and light. I like the low-cut plate shoes because my shin guards don't rub on the inside of my shoes which causes wearing in the material of my mid-cut plate shoes. The NB low-cut plate shoes are highly recommended.

Nice umpire plate shoes. Took a couple of games to get used to them since I don't normally wear low cut behind the plate but now I don't even think about it. They fit like all the other New Balance plate shoes do which is one reason I ordered them.

Personally, I like low-cut and easy to run and move. Good shoes for umpires!!!

Really like these so much better than the last version. The last one, the plate would start to come off at the attachment. I had high tops and they rubbed my Force3 shins. I got tired of the two things and bought these for my first sectional. They run a little bit bigger than the older version. I just wear a second sock. I was wearing compression socks, so they were really thin.

Great quality shoe that provides excellent protection behind the plate. I wear a size 13 in Nike shoes and I ordered a 13 in the plate shoes. They had to be returned and I replaced with a size 12 which fit perfect. I also ordered a pair of base shoes and went with a 12 which worked great. Other New Balance reviews said their plate shoes run big and base shoes run smaller. I would agree. I went with the 2E width and their perfect. Great products and great service.

A GREAT plate shoe! The width is perfect and the comfort is ideal for those long games on your feet.

I really like these plate shoes. Very comfortable and offer a lot of protection behind the plate. The only reason they aren't 5 stars is that they run a little bit bigger than advertised.

Great plate shoe. Very Comfortable. Fits nice and snug.

Really like these plate shoes. Lightweight and comfortable. Plenty of protection with my F3 shin guards.

I really like these plate shoes. I like that these are low-cut and has the extra protection on the inside of the feet.

I have had a lot of plate shoes over the years and these are the most comfortable ones that I have ever owned. If you don't have a pair, I highly recommend you get a pair.

Easily the most comfortable umpire plate shoe I have ever worn. I love the look, too!

Quality appears to be very good. The appearance is excellent. I purchased the wider size and it seems to give me more room in the toe box. We'll see how it stands up to a few foul balls and catchers cleats.

Got my new low cut new balance plate shoes, and they are Great! When I first got them and tried them on I thought that maybe they might be uncomfortable, so I wore them for a couple of games. My initial reaction was quickly changed because after a few games these shoes are light, protective, really hold a shine, and are extremely comfortable. I would highly endorse this product, you will not be sorry!

This is the most comfortable plate shoe on the market. It's lightweight and makes you feel like you have on tennis shoes when you have to move. It also offers the protection you need when getting hit on the foot as well as wide widths for guys with larger feet. Highly recommend the NB V3 plate shoes.

Absolutely love NB shoes and have worn V1, V2, and now V3 of their umpire plates shoes. Never been disappointed in the fit, comfort, protection, and durability. Having some ankle issues, I reluctantly tried this new low cut model of V3 and was blown away by the stability and comfort, and don't feel like there is any sacrifice in protection. I have already ordered a second pair.

Very comfortable. Just did 15 games this past weekend with these umpire plate shoes. The size is spot on and they're easy to clean too.

Very sharp looking shoe as well as comfortable. The low cut for me works well with the shinguards. Hopefully they will last as long as my old New Balance umpire plate shoes.

Way better than V2's. Easy to clean. No polish needed!

With about 50 plate games on these umpire shoes not even a whimper of a complaint. The only thing I changed out were the laces. They were just "WAY TOO LONG" knock 'em down to a 45" length...ALL GOOD.

Great umpire plate shoes! True fit to regular shoe size, very comfortable and great protection!

Easy to clean. Best looking plate shoe. Professional. I had the previous design and both are size 11, however, I had the mid-cut before. This low-cut seems to run a 1/2 size too big.

Very comfortable and sizing it spot on as well. Completed a tournament in these umpire plate shoes and my feet felt great. Easy clean up as well.

These are one of the most comfortable plate shoes I've worn in a long time. Great cushioning.

Very comfortable, and seems to be a high quality umpire plate shoe that will last. Want to purchase field shoes next.

So far so good. After Reebok exited the umpire shoe market I was concerned about finding another plate shoe I would like. New Balance is now my plate shoe of choice.

Great umpire plate shoe again by New Balance. I've used them a couple of times. Very conformable shoes, look great with the high gloss finish, true to size. You would never go wrong buying this shoe. Love the low cut shoes.

Just bought and received these shoes last week. I've had the same plate shoes for a number of years and finally broke down and ordered new ones. These are SOOO comfortable and light. Excellent shine, easy to clean, and look good.

I've only had a chance to use these plate shoes in a couple of games since receiving them. Have to say, the light weight combined with the sturdiness is pretty impressive so far. Great fit in the EE size, and as comfortable a pair of umpire plate shoes that I've owned. I'm a little concerned about the laces feeding through the loop on the end of the tongue, but I may be dead wrong with my concerns.

I have been wearing the Reebok Field Magistrate low-cut plate shoe for about 10 years and LOVED it, but the soles were almost slick from wear, so I decided to go ahead and purchase a new pair of shoes. Since Reebok is out of the umpire shoe biz, I purchased the New Balance Low cut plate shoe. I am a size 12-D, and the Reebok shoe fit my foot PERFECTLY. The NB fit very well, also. They arrived the day before our state association training scrimmage. I wore my new shoes and was very pleased with the comfort, support, and look of the new shoes. For those of you looking to buy this shoe, for me, they were a little snug at the metatarsal area, but not uncomfortable, and never noticed after I got on the diamond. The heel is a little loose but I plan to add a heel insert. New Balance has allowed me to rest easy about a major concern when it comes to my umpiring equipment and apparel.

These shoes are fantastic! I have extremely wide feet, and have been wearing the old style NB in 12.5 EEEE. These new ones are much lighter, at 26.2 oz each in size 12. My old ones were 32 oz each. Also they are much better ventilated and look much sharper and stay clean better. Also much improved traction. I am extremely pleased with these, and the service I received from Ump-Attire.com. They even 2nd day shipped them to make it in time for my first D3 plate of this season. Highly recommend!
