Reebok Field Magistrate Plate shoes on eBay

[kylejt]

There's a guy, rrmilliner, selling Reebok plate shoes for $60 OR best offer. Has anyone found the bottom price he'll take?

[kylejt]

I just got a pair of plate shoes for $30. He might take a lower bid, so try it.

Good luck boys!

He's got turf shoes too, so there's no excuse not to get new shoes right now. I'm going to rotate these with my NB450s, and they'll last me a LONG time.

Wrong guy, SA. Those are 90 clams.

Try this:
eBay Seller: rrmilliner: magistrate, Clothing, Shoes Accessories items on eBay.com

Just be sure to bid less than $30, and see if he takes it. Again, $30 worked for me.

"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.

Thanks everyone for following up with my question. I do see the Reebok plate shoes w/flaps, but those are the low cuts(I'm not interested). I was searching for mid-cuts like my current NB 450, and I was beginning to think that Reebok had a mid-cut with a thick flap tucked inside the threads, especially after rrmillner emailed me that they were steel toed. But that's not the case; it's only a highly durable plastic (TUF), probably similar to my current NB field shoes.

Thanks again everyone

I have the 2010 version. The Reebok logo is toned down and looks just like the base shoe logo does. They got rid of the suede as well. The black part of the shoe is entirely leather now.

I tried $20 and $25 no deal, took a deal at $30. Now have a second pair to go along with the ones I have now that are 1/2 year old. Great pick up

Honig's has a solid black version of the Reeboks this season.
