I have usually gone with New Balance Low Cut base shoes. I would like any recommendations that anyone has out there. I have some very good inserts now, and they seem to help. I would like a high top base shoe but I have not seen one yet-except for the New Balance with that stupid Gray logo that looks like it would get dirty and look like crap after one game.

I use the Rebok NFL Field Referee shoe for the bases. The grip from the shoe is great on grass, dirt, artificial turf, and field turf.

As for the inserts, I have changed to using Spenco Polysorb Total Support insoles, instead of the stock insoles. These keep your feet cool in hot weather and warm in cool weather. They absorb moisture so your feet stay dry. These are a little more expensive than your run of the mill inserts you get at the local drug store ($35 per pair), however, these are great and will alleviate your plantar faciitis pain.
