New Balance V3 Black & White Mid-Cut Umpire Plate Shoes

I love these shoes. Very comfortable and easy to run in. They look quite bulky but in reality they are not. Good protection with comfort.

Shoes were really comfortable. I recommend it. If you are thinking about buying them go for it. Amazing quality and great price.

Great shoes. Buy nothing but these. Very comfortable.

This will be my third pair purchased; particular model has been released by New Balance. Compared to their last edition (Now Smitty’s brand), this shoe has fulfilled my expectations! Pros: easy to clean after multiple innings moving on wet, red soil. I wear a 15EE, true to size, can also wiggle my toes sans restriction. Comfortable, usually wear these between 18-20 innings twice monthly; umpiring travel youth baseball. The only “Cons” I have is the extended flap that protects inside of your foot from those painful foul balls. Otherwise, an excellent shoe.

Excellent, sharp, comfortable shoe. Sizing is spot on.

Solid shoes. Have taken direct shots and barely felt a thing. Mids definitely feel lighter than highs. I've owned two pairs of highs and one pair of mids over 6 years and close to a thousand games. They are great plate shoes on grass and turf but the south Texas turf is brutal on any shoe. The entire shoe has held up extremely well and still holds a great shine but eventually the soles start to separate at the toes. Some shoe repair shops will repair for $40-65 but inevitably they will separate again. Haven't found a good way to reattach them myself.

Love these shoes! I'm OCD about nice shoes that I own (dress shoes, etc.) so after games I'll wipe these off w/ a microfiber cloth and clean them up. Then use cedar shoe trees (helps eliminate odors and keeps the true form of the shoe) which keeps them looking new! Then black shoe polish as needed. These are super comfortable shoes- even after plating 3 games in a row!

Excellent product.

Most comfortable shoes I wear on the field (even better then my field shoes). Just recommend that you be careful with the top of the foot plate. Had a pair of these in the past where that ripped off where it attached to the toe portion of the shoe.

Great shoe. Best shoe I ever had.

Sorry Smitty and 3n2, you won’t be getting anymore of my money for plate shoes. These things are fantastic. Worked 5 plate games in them the first day and never looked back. Love these shoes.

I love my New Balance plate shoes. I will never go back to another shoe.

Very comfortable and light!

These were worth every penny. I thought I'd prefer the low cuts but found I really like the extra ankle coverage with these.

Love these shoes! I just upgraded to these from the 3n2’s. I had to run down the line multiple times fast and I was surprised how easily I was able to run in these. I wish I would have ordered these years ago.

I recently acquired a pair of these plate shoes. They are very comfortable, the material is of good quality, the sizes fit well, and above all, they provide the protection you need when you're behind the plate, these shoes are a very good investment, and I'm delighted with them.

These plate shoes are, and continue to be, amazing. The fit, the comfort, and the durability are always dependable for me, whether it be Little League, High School, or College. I wouldn’t wear any other shoes. Plus, the sale price was something I jumped on even though my old shoes were still good. It never hurts to have a spare pair.

Easy ordering process and on-time delivery. Amazing comfort. I’ve already worn for 15 games since I bought them. My feet are thanking me. Definitely worth every penny!!!

New Balance plate shoes are excellent umpire plate shoes that I have stuck with for 15 years. If you take care of them, it’s easy to get several seasons out of a pair. I keep two pairs, one brand new for turf only and a set for grass fields. And I especially like that they come in a 4E size for extreme comfort when you have to wear them for many hours.

Best pair of plate shoes I have ever bought. Durability and comfort are great. Would recommend it over and over.

Very comfortable and easy to clean. Love the lace pocket in the tongue!

Excellent umpire plate shoes that I have stuck with. If you take care of them, it’s easy to get 3+ seasons out of a pair. I keep two pairs, one brand new for turf only and a set for grass fields. Ordered on Monday and wore it Wednesday night at my game.

Great plate shoes. These are the only shoes I use. Comfortable and easy to clean. Conforms to your feet.

Great shoes. Great service. Old shoes "blew out" and needed a pair quick. Ordered and had in hand within a couple days. Great fit. Very comfortable. Easy to clean! Highly recommend!

A very comfortable shoe.

Great product. Comfortable right out of the box. Makes me wish I would have ordered these sooner.

Very comfortable umpire plate shoe!!! Fits to size. I like the new tongue pocket for the laces, once your laces are tied. Keeps them tucked away. Easy to clean leather. May have to put a medium bristle brush on the cloth sides after you come off the field so that the dirt doesn’t set in the fabric. Still my “go-to”, regardless.

Excellent shoe design. Comfortable and functional. Thanks

Excellent product. Very good and beautiful.

Most comfortable umpire plate shoe ever.

This is the second pair in six years. They are sturdy yet comfortable. Good quality and easy to clean.

Good shoes. But they are so much heavier than the Reebok Zig Magistrates I wore out. They do clean up very easily and offer a lot of protection. Would have been 5 stars had they not felt as heavy as bricks.

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and have optimal protection! They also look great and are easy to care for. For me, it’s great they come in EE sizes.

Best umpire plate shoe ever and it comes in wide widths. Ready to wear right out of the box. Cleans up easily and maintains a solid shine.

Upgraded to these from the Smitty plate shoes, and they are 100% worth it. You'll feel it the first time you put on the shoe!

After upgrading to the New Balance V3 Base umpire shoes, I decided to upgrade to the New Balance V3 Plate umpire shoes. Light, and comfortable--a bigger improvement than expected. Word of caution: I recommend sizing by length of your foot rather than size. Glad I did (I typically wear an 11 or 11 1/2; I ordered a 10 1/2--based on foot length--and they're a perfect fit). My only complaint is the patent leather finish mars easily--I found out personally when a catcher moved unexpectedly and stepped on them.

Awesome umpire plate shoe. Very lightweight running around and very durable. Took a fastball straight to the toe and didn't feel a thing. They clean up amazingly also after a game.

My first pair, very comfortable. I had to get use to them at first. But all and all a great product!!

Very comfortable and safe to work at any level. Ump-Attire.com products are always in excellent condition.

Very light and roomy plate umpire shoe. I normally wear 4E, could probably have gone with 2E on this one. Very comfortable, good grip on dirt and turf. Cleans up great with an Armor All wipe.

The New Balance V3 Black and White Mid-Cut Umpire Plate Shoes look and feel great! I had purchased some New Balance Turf Shoes for Football officiating in a size 11.5 and they fit fairly snug on my toes so I figured I'd try a 12 in the plate shoes. I typically wear a size 11.5 or 12 depending on the company. The size 12 was way too big. I took advantage of the free return feature that Ump-Attire.com offers two times as a result. The 11.5 plate shoes were too big as well and I eventually got the size 11's that fit perfectly. I would say these particular shoes run 1/2 size too big.

My motto is wear what the pros wear whenever possible. These shoes offer good protection and are easy to clean as long as you do it right after your game. They do tend to scuff though pretty easily. I just bought myself a new pair for next season and gave my old ones to my son.

I have owned several brands of plate shoes but I always come back to New Balance! They are comfortable right out of the box and look great!

Well, I got them over two weeks and been breaking them in slowly. They're nice and lightweight.

So happy I decided to upgrade my shoes from 18 years of use. By far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn in general. After working the plate for 5 straight games, no pain in my feet. I love them!!!

Great umpire plate shoe. Very comfortable.
