About 20 years ago, one of the shoe companies that makes both football and plate shoes was willing, for a $10 customization charge, to add the steel toe from their plate shoe to their football shoe for me. As I recall, the local sporting goods store had to put me in touch with the manufacturer's salesperson who was able to get me the customization.
I have used these shoes on and off for many years. I do not recall the brand and you can't see their name from inside the shoe anymore. I highly recommend this for umpires - I can't tell you the number of times it saved some bruises. Obviously, they are a bit heavier, but the U isn't running all that much anyway.
