I have a narrow foot. The "D" width fits like a glove. These umpire plate shoes are lightweight and very comfortable. They look good and easy to clean. I recommend them.

Came as is. Has not worn yet with current life, but they look great.

Awesome umpire plate shoe. I thought my previous 3n2 plate shoe was comfortable, but this is even better. Worked a tournament straight from taking these out of the box and could have asked for a better shoe.
Questions About This Product
Q: | Loosing a toenail on left foot - Little League game, took a direct hit to big toe, just wearing a my regular New Balance cleats. Will these "plate shoes" provide any extra protection to toes?
– Doug Murray |
A: | Ouch! It is always risky getting behind the plate without proper protection. These New Balance Umpire Plate Shoes will absolutely provide more protection than a regular shoe or cleat. They feature a toe box designed with the highest grade Thermal Polyurethane (technical term for extremely hard plastic) possible to protect your toes. The metatarsal plate protecting the top and sides of your feet is also manufactured from Thermal Polyurethane making this one of the most protective plate shoes on the market today. – Josh MannMarketing Assistant, Pro School Umpire Graduate |
