Tannel
I have used the Tannel plate shoe for about 12 years and like them very much. They run large and have a generously wide forefoot. Good protection with a metatarsal plate that covers your foot well.
The greatest thing is the sole design (concentric circles of studs) that allows you to easily pivot. Additionally, this configuration makes for a great plate scraper - I keep a very clean plate but only bend over and use my brush occasionally. The configuration of the studs allows you to "brush" the plate off with your shoe sole.
It works very well and the shoes are comfortable. I havent compared them weight-wise.... they maybe a little heavy but I'm not sure - I'm 42 and still run pretty well so I don't find them heavy until about the fourth game in a single day. Thank-goodness that doesn't happen often - a lot of sunshine and a lot of concentration.
