New Balance V3 All-Black Mid-Cut Umpire Plate Shoes

Lyle P., Louisville, KY

5/12/2026

Worth the extra money if you're in this for multiple years. The hightop cut was a bit of an adjustment getting my shin guards to set properly around it but once I figured it out I have enjoyed the shoe. It feels like the same weight as smaller shoes and are very comfortable. I have taken only one to the toe box area and barely noticed it occurred.

Smitty Grey ComfortTech Compression Shorts with Cup Pocket

Lyle P., Louisville, KY

5/12/2026

Fits true to size so don't try and squeeze into them as they are compression. Definitely more comfortable than wearing the jock strap for a long game or games.

All-Star Internal Shell Umpire Chest Protector

Donald G., East Earl, PA

5/10/2026

Chest protector is very light which is a change from my previous hard outer shell chest protector. The shoulder and kidney protectors are Velcro'd in place which makes them adjustable. Have not taken a hard shot yet but at the high school and recreational level should be more than adequate.
