The NB is the shoe I went with last year, and I love them. That's a hell of a deal too.....

Even the best wears out, after 12 years of umpiring, I am always upgrading one thing or another every season, no sport costs as much to officiate, but then no other sport is called baseball either! :cool:

Outside of apparel, and the +POS shoes I will be buying, I can't see myself purchasing another piece of equipment for the next couple of years. I bought a WV Gold Chest Protector, Wilson Dyna-Lite Mask, OHSAA Hat, +POS pants, OHSAA shirt, and an OHSAA jacket for under $250. How did I do it? Ebay and Delaware blue of course. I bought my chest protector and a pair of Davis shin guards off Blue for just over $100 and then I sold the shin guards for $60. I bought everything else on Ebay, and with even had a pair of +POS shin guards thrown in for, wait for it, FREE. And +POS shoes I am buying are brand new, and I am getting them for $75. I think I cleaned up pretty well.

Me, too. I bought eight of them. I'm re-selling them to members of my association.

Made a nice $100+ pure profit after selling 2 on Ebay. A great deal.
