New Balance V3 All-Black Mid-Cut Umpire Plate Shoes

Love these umpire plate shoes!! Lightweight, comfortable, cool, and I like the added side instep coverage (in case my feet aren't perfectly aligned forward). These replace the earlier NB plate shoes. Those lasted 8 years (finally wore out on the inside and started to look ratty outside). I don't know if these will last as long, but they are way more comfortable and lighter. I ordered a half size larger. My last NB plate shoes were 11.5 2E (fit perfectly), and I ordered size 12 2E this time, and I'm glad I did. The half size larger than before fits perfectly.

Super light, comfy and durable! My feet feel great after a game.

Great umpire plate shoe.

Feels great and looks great. Scuffs easy on the toe end.

The fit on my wide, high-instep feet is great. They were comfortable from the first game on.

Just amazing, comfortable, umpire plate shoes.

The New Balance Umpire Plate shoes are much updated shoes then my older plate shoes from 5 years ago. The updated shoes are much lighter to wear on the field. My old ones were very heavy. I would recommend this shoes to all umpires that are looking for a new pair of plate shoes. The only item on shoes that I would like to see updated is the shoes laces. The shoes laces could be a higher quality like a boot kind that is tougher rounded type. Otherwise, the shoes are great!!

I’ve trusted New Balance for both all my umpiring footwear both plate and bases. I have never been disappointed.

I really enjoy the comfort and stability of the New balance V3 over the previous New Balance umpire plate shoe. Another great plate shoe from New Balance.

These are the lightest and most comfortable New Balance plate shoes that I’ve ever owned.

Just bought a pair of these last week. On the same day the shoes arrived, I received a steroid shot in my foot at the doctor (plantar fasciitis & bone spur). The next morning I called 2 games behind the plate wearing these shoes. They were absolutely amazing. Incredibly comfortable. My previous pair was low-cut, these new ones are mid-cut. I love the mid-cut a lot more than the low-cut ones. Highly recommend these shoes, you won't be disappointed.

Great umpire plate shoes!! Long lasting, fits great, never have had a problem with any New Balance plate shoes. Looks great and easy to keep clean. They are a little bit more expensive than other shoes but they are well worth it! Highly recommend to every umpire!

They're great umpire plate shoes!
