About 20 years ago, one of the shoe companies that makes both football and plate shoes was willing, for a $10 customization charge, to add the steel toe from their plate shoe to their football shoe for me. As I recall, the local sporting goods store had to put me in touch with the manufacturer's salesperson who was able to get me the customization.
I have used these shoes on and off for many years. I do not recall the brand and you can't see their name from inside the shoe anymore. I highly recommend this for umpires - I can't tell you the number of times it saved some bruises. Obviously, they are a bit heavier, but the U isn't running all that much anyway. |

Mobile, yes. You have to keep moving. But it's not like you have to sprint between the hashes.

An Umpire (now retired) I've worked with wore steel toed shoes and in addition, soccer like shin guards under his socks. I started to wonder if at our next game together he was going to bring a flack jacket to wear under his strips. He never did!

I don't think I'll be needing that other equipment.
