No foot injuries and they're just plain uncomfortable.
I've had more injuries to my hands and fore arms than anywhere else. I use a wide stance, and hang my hands down between my legs as I was trained, but now I think when I go back to umpiring, I just might buy some padded fore arm guards!

Instead of buying forearm protection, Elaine, you could always buy one of those outside the shirt big ol' balloon style chest protectors! Plenty of room to hide your arms behind one of those.
As far as plate shoes go, I do wear them. My philosophy is not to wait until I need them, because then it is too late. I wear the Riddell low top style plate shoe, and have for some time, and find them to be quite comfortable.
