I'm tired of big, stupid linebackers...

Let me third that - Tanel. Athletic shoe with great protection.

Ref,

I would also look into the Riddell plate shoes if honig;s stil has them. They are low cut, studded bottom, good protection. I used them while umpiring in FB games, and they saved my feet often.

I know exactly what you mean in trying to deal with LB's and TE's as an umpire. They seem to make us targets and picks more and more often these days.

The only problem I have with the Tanels is that they wear at the cushions at the top of the foot insert.
