plate shoes= nike pro plate (i got them on ebay, so i have no clue if the public can buy them in stores)

base shoes= reebok atr pro's for dry
or nike fg 90 turf pro's (yes, they are soccer turf shoes) for wet

they're all black, and all amazing. I have narrow feet, however

new balance for both, and each has a white N on the side

i like my base shoes with the white N, but i dont think i like the plate shoes having the white N so i might do something about that

Gerry Davis high top plate shoes-no white.

Spot-Bilt original coach shoes for bases-no white (I even cut off the spot bilt tag on the flap.)
Adidas Mundial Team Soccer turf shoes with white stripes for bad weather conditions on Bases.
Puma Ultra Trainer turf/coach shoes with white stripes for really bad weather JV/Frosh/Middle School base duty.

Plate - +POS

Base - I've worn the same pair of Puma Scramblers since I got them at umpire school in 1985 UNTIL this year...they're being relegated to the bad-weather games in favor of New Balance 350's with all-black (how do you polish the ones with the white "N"?).

Sigh...those Pumas were the BEST base shoes EVER...RIP...

the N is made of something plastic-like, so polish doesn't even stick on it. i don't even make an effort to go around the N, since anything that rubs on it just rubs right off.

I was wanting to wear the NB plate shoes this year but I was recently told by my booking agent (and confirmed via email from the state office) that no white or off-white lettering is acceptable on umpire shoes in NCHSAA games. This is a change from prior years and will affect my decision on which plate shoes to wear this year.

NCUMP7 and DG- Have you guys heard about this yet?

Plate = Gerry Davis
Base = New Balance, isn't the N actually gray?

Tee, an alpha test shoe? Do they have jets or something on them?
Kyle, rotating those shoes around must hurt something awful....
