Given that softball cleats are light-weight, give good support, have leather uppers that can take a shine, and provide excellent grip in all conditions (dirt infield, mud, wet grass, whatever), and can be found in all black (at most, you would have to die the white swipe) why don't more umpires use ordinary cleats for base shoes?
Do you use (or know anybody who uses) cleats for base shoes?

Yep, I use them, even behind the plate in SP. I've gotten so use to them, I forget to change them to drive. However, with the new season coming quickly, I've decided to try these Spotbilt shoes with tiny studs on them. They seem to grip well and didn't cost too much. We'll see what happens.
