Not New Balance

Bought these when they were less expensive than NB (they are now about the same price). Good shoe but going back to NB. For one or two games they are fine but after two they don’t feel as light as NBs. If picking between the two and you can’t save money - go with New Balance.

Great for behind the plate.

Got these because I am a new official and knew I needed behind the plate shoes. These are great. True to size, easy to wear, good protection. Would buy them again.

Less expensive than NB, and just as functional

Purchased the new Smitty model Plate Shoes for a better price than NB. They are comfortable. They are roomy. I added a cushioned insole, and they feel perfect. They take shoe polish well. Light-weight.

Super painful

I purchased these shoes since they came recommended for umpires. They are extremely uncomfortable. I had to change out the insoles and wear two pairs of socks just so my toe nail wouldn’t be damaged.I ended up purchasing another pair that are way more comfortable. Unfortunately, I missed my return wi doe for these.I ended up purchasing 3N2 low profile.

Umpire shoes review

Wore my shoes for the first time. Guess I should have read reviews before I bought them. They are not very comfortable. Need to get insoles.
