The first time I used, got hit on top, and on side, and helmet protected me from major injury. A must for behind the plate.

New Balance V4 Black & White Low-Cut Umpire Base Shoes

Best field shoe I have worn, no question. Sole support is outstanding, comfort I would say is 10/10. We will find out about the durability of the shoe but if anyone has plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis or just looking for a field shoe that feels really good on your feet, look into these shoes. Great add to the bag right here!

Force3 Protective Men's Compression Umpire Tights

Allen B., Klamath Falls, OR

I like the tights part, protects my legs from shin guards chafing. The thigh pads naturally turn in to far. I turn the seams when I put them on so the pads are over the inner thighs, but after a couple innings, they turn too far in and really won’t block anything unless it comes right up from under you. The balls bouncing off the plate and up between the catchers legs still reach muscle with a sting. Good concept but needs tried on real umps in real games. The cup pocket is too small, and it just dangles with a string between the butt cheeks. The cup won’t stay where it belongs. I really wanted these to work since they were the new improved version but needs more work on the drawing board.
