2. Dont want to upset her since she took it upon herself to do this for me. She would be understanding since she would not be aware of any issues with a cuff or no cuff leg while umpiring. She just thougth it looked sharper. Is this a big issue or not. Suggestions please! Thanks in advance1

Do cuffs look good with athletic shoes? No.

Could they be a safety issue? I'd say there's a slim chance you'd catch your shoe in one if you have cleats or studs.

If she would be understanding, I see no reason not to change them to the norm.
