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

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!

Great shoes. Love them.

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.
