Many guys followed the lead of MiLB, MLB and NCAA umpires. They blacked out the white on their shoes for years. Some of them looked down on those who had white visible and that is why it was a probem. Now that the pros are sporting them it has been a non issue. I could care less what a guy has on his feet, as long as he is safe and able to get on top of the call.
