Reebok Field Magistrate Plate shoes on eBay

"Reebok Field Magistrate Tuf SZ 12"

Are these a new kind of plate shoe without the leather flap over the front of them? I'm told that they have steel toes, but I've never seen plate shoes without a leather flap.

Please inform me...

Obviously (?) you'll have to look at the pictures to determine which ones are plate shoes, and which ones aren't. The plate shoes look like orcas. Cookie, these are the ones to look for.


Do I need to hold everyone's hand to get them a deal on shoes? Hurry before all the "normal" sizes are gone (they even have a 19!)

A couple years ago, Amazon had the original WV chest protector for $30. I told everyone here about it, and the smart ones bought several. Others hemmed a hawed, and didn't pull the trigger. Do what you want.

Thanks Kylejt,

Your picture (shoes with the flaps) are not the ones I'm seeing on Ebay from the same seller. Even though rrmillner tells me that they have steel toes, all I see are the threaded shoe strings (no flaps). They look like base shoes to me.

Cookie,

Those are not plate shoes, those are base shoes.

The description's missing that all-important letter r in the word turf.

Guys, here's how to find them:

Go to eBay
Search for "reebok magistrate".
Look for shoes that match the picture I posted.
Bid $30 or less, and see what happens. My bid got accepted at $30, so he might take less.
Thank me later.

The "normal" sizes are getting thin. Good luck fellers.

I had these shoes last year, sold them to a friend in Europe. I was so conflicted about them:

(1) They are, bar none, the most comfortable plate shoes I've ever worn.
(2) They are, bar none, the ugliest plate shoes I've ever worn.
(3) They have a suede-like finish in too many places that does not really polish well. This was the deal-breaker for me. If I can't shine my shoes well and quickly, the manufacturer has no clue about umpiring shoes.

I'm waiting for the next generation to see if they fix these issues. In the meantime, I bought a pair of Honig's low tops.
