Description

The 460 New Balance Umpire Plate Shoes are designed for that extra look of authority with a hi-gloss finish that is easy to clean while maintaining the comfort, breathability and traction you expect in an on-field athletic shoe.

The redesigned floating instep guard provides advanced features. First, it provides maximum protection where you need it most, on the inside of your feet, without the extra bulk on the outside where you don't. Second, it "releases" from the top making it easier to take on and off and to lace your shoelaces. Third, there is a mesh strap that creates space between your shoe and guard for air to flow.

This mid-cut style is all-black high gloss finish with New Balance logo on the side, top plate and sole.

FEATURES

  • Dispersion Instep Guard provides more inner foot protection
  • Toe box is designed of the highest grade Thermal Polyurethane possible, with greater density in high impact zones
  • ABZORB® - a blend of Dupont™ Engage® and Isoprene rubber - in heel and forefoot provides superior shock absorption and cushioning throughout the game
  • Strategically placed mesh strap on inside of metatarsal guard that promotes air flow and breathability
  • Guard releases for easy on / off
  • Mid-cut provides greater ankle support
  • High gloss is easy to clean / polishable
  • Snug-fit integrated neoprene sock liner provides additional comfort between foot and hard toe
  • Nubby outsole for enhanced traction
  • Pocket on tongue to hide shoelaces
  • Weight: Up to 31.3 ounces per shoe
  • The official plate shoes for MLB umpires
  • For baseball or softball
  • Men’s sizing in all widths

Questions About This Product

Q: I’m 6’0 and my Wilson Pro Gold shin guards are 17.5”. How would mid-cut shoes sit with my shin guards? Or do you recommend the low cut?
– Matt Barksdale
A: 

Shin guards paired with mid-cut umpire plate shoes will sit slightly higher on your leg than when paired with low-cut umpire plate shoes. For best results, please review our Crew How-To: Measure and Size Your Umpire Shin Guards. With Free Returns, there is no risk in ordering the desired shoe and trying on in your home for fit and function.
