Umpire Pads?

[waltjp]

I saw this posted on the baseball side but thought it would make more sense for a football umpire.

Sports wear, shotgun recoil pad, shin guards, baseball rib protectors, lacrosse pads

If I were a U on a regular basis, the first thing I'd get would be steel-toed shoes.

Anyone have a link for those?

we have one umpire in our group that wears a pair of the low cut plate shoes, steel toe and metatarsal protection. Have had a couple of nights wear I wanted them myself

I was lucky in the years I worked as a U. I never had my foot stepped on but I did have a player scrape the side of my legs pretty good a couple of times.

If I could find a pair that are comfortable to stand and run in, I'd buy'em.

Have you tried Tanel?

Reebok Field Magistrate Tuf Low - Men's - Black/Black
Turf shoe pattern, similar to the Reebok NFL officials shoes. Bought a pair at the Reebok outlet for $20, looked like they were a sales sample. Called a game in them on the wing last Friday night. No problems.

Yeah, I've got that built in stuff. But to be honest that can heal where teeth are kind of vunerable. What I've wanted is a mouth piece, but I can't figure out how to blow a whistle with it.

I think this would be better for an umpire.
