The New Balance V3 All-Black Mid-Cut Umpire Base Shoes are the best. Great comfort over long days, excellent support, and good traction on synthetic turf, even when wet. They hold their shape and shine over time, too. Lastly, they are relatively easy to clean. Glad to see they are again available for those of us with extra-wide feet.

Great umpire base shoes. Very comfortable right out of the box. East to clean. I bought the white ones last year and loved them. I got black this year. Very good on the feet. I would recommend them to everyone.

Need a new pair, and these are my go-to. Comfortable, lightweight, stable. Good for a long day on the field.
Questions About This Product
| Q: | I am planning on buying new base shoes, but I'm having an issue deciding on the all black New Balance or the white and black. Using my previous base shoes, it was similar to the white and black and after using it, the white portion of the shoe never stood white again. Does that happen with the white and black New Balances? – Eric Guardascione |
| A: | Field dirt will always affect and discolor white midsoles of any shoes. To keep them as white as possible, we suggest consistent cleaning after your game, not allowing the dirt to set into the white portions. We recommend maintaining clean midsoles with the RESTORE Shoe Shampoo and its shoe friendly cleaning solution with bristle scrubbing tip. – Brandon LawsonSupport Specialist, Pro Umpire School Graduate and Umpire, Football Official & Basketball Referee |
