Well, ASA still sells the Rival shoes, and they are extremely comfortable out of the box. Unfortunately, they didn't last very long for me at all. The lace holes turned into lace slits, the fabric around the ankle started coming off, and the stitching started pulling out. All after one fall season.

At least Spot-Bilt would generally make it a full year for me.

So who's got good recommendations for shoes for the SP umpire? I like the fact that Spot-Bilt and Rival both have "nubs" under the bottom, because it gives better traction than simple New Balance black walking shoes.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
