Great pair of plate shoes. Break in very quick. I usually have to put in extra insoles but not with these. Very pleased.

Great plate umpire shoe. Wear good and last a long time if you do proper maintenance.

These plate umpire shoes arrived on Friday. I wore them for three games indoors on Saturday. No pain, no issues. At the of time of writing this, they have 12 games in them. Fit and feel better than the plate shoes they replaced which were New Balance. Those lasted 300 games before the insides fell apart. If the Smitty's last 200 to 300 games or more, well worth their money - heck, even if they only go half the distance of the shoes they replaced. Very pleased with my purchase.

Bought because of the price. Nice umpire plate shoe and lightweight.

These umpire plate shoes feel really nice. I haven't had time to field test them but have been walking around with them on and seem very comfortable. Great price!

I've been wearing the same plate shoes for 12 years. Yeah, I know how to stretch a dime. But I was overdue for new. The problem was the price tag. So I chose Smitty's because of the cost so I did not have high expectations. Talk about exceeding expectations! These shoes are awesome! Comfort, great protection, lightweight...A+.

Just bought this plate shoe and wore it for first time. Very comfortable shoe. I had a pair of New Balances and like this plate shoe a lot more. I have the base shoe as well by Smitty and it's just as comfortable. Good shoes for long days of umpiring.

OMG, these umpire plate shoes are the-bomb! I immediately put them on and knew I was gonna like them. Very lightweight and very, very, very comfortable and not bad looking either. Wore them the other night and my partner asked what kinda plate shoes they where and I said Smitty and he just looked at me. He said he was going to go home and order himself a pair. Just another awesome product from a awesome company. Ump-Attire.com has the best products!

I am impressed with these Smitty plate shoes - not a fan of the New Balance V3 - These are almost identical replacements for the older NB 460's which I really liked.

I really like these. They're lighter than I imagined. Comfortable and easy to run in. The 1/2 star off for having to tuck my laces in. I suppose I could attempt to re-lace them a different way to keep the top shield down and laces underneath. I suppose it doesn't matter. 5 stars it is! Get 1/2 to a full size larger than your normal shoe size.

Same shoe as older new balance 460's. Only difference, sole pattern and easy to clean. Nice shoe!
