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

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!
