Twin City Performance Over-the-Knee Socks

This isust what I have been looking for. I always cut the tops of my old soccer socks to put over my knees to stop the rubbing and sweat build-up from my umpiring shin guards. These are perfect and cover the knees comfortably and wick sweat away. No more rubbing on my knees! I'm 6'5" and these fit great and easily cover my knees. A must-have if you umpire a lot.

New Balance V3 All-Black Low-Cut Umpire Base Shoes

These shoes are incredibly comfortable and the traction and grip on all surfaces is superior. Add to that quality, design and workmanship. I bought a pair for baseball/softball umpiring and another for soccer officiating. I have flat feet and the wide options make New Balance the only choice for me for athletic officiating footwear. So comfortable and light.

Good fit, I agree on earlier posts about the material. Advertised as a percentage of spandex, the material is not the same as the football pants for example.
