I got the Reeboks for two main reasons: (1) the side protection extends farther around [I had gotten hit three frickin' times on the side of my foot wearing the NBs--ouch!], and (2) traction. On a dry, flat field I often found my feet sliding around too much behind home plate.
As far as their weight, when running, I have found no discernible difference. They're only slightly heavier, if that. I won't comment on the white because I can live with that. However, whoever thought of putting suede on a plate shoe was off his meds that day! That part of the shoe is a biitch to keep clean, as suede turns brown over time when it gets dirty. |

I was half-joking, of course, but the performance characteristics--including the protective flap coverage and the stud pattern--are both something that I would like to try. But I just can't get past the way they look. They're just ghastly.
When they tone them down, I may jump on, but I just can't even stand looking at them. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Thu Jul 30, 2009 at 11:54am. |

I don't find their look bothersome, but I have heard from a couple guys out west that Reebok has already come out with the 2nd version of this shoe. I haven't seen it anywhere, so I can't confirm this personally.

Did anyone see that +POS has their high top plate shoes available in select sizes, as well as a few sizes of their base shoes? +POS

Yeah, a bit steep huh? But what about that steal of a price on the ugliest base shoes ever made?
