Same here. On vacation in Montana. My son took me to this HUGE sporting goods store. They have enough firearms to stock a verywell-armed third-world country. Also have a HUGE selection of shoes. Went looking for NBs, was talking to a sales person about what I wanted. He asked if I umpired...turned out a fellow ASA umpire I know needed some.

These were sweet...621s...can't wait to try them if I ever get back out there.

Yeah...but try finding them anymore. Those are the ones that I am currently using as well, but I don't know anywhere to find them nowadays.

Scott,

I bought two pair on close out a couple of years ago. Extremely comfortable shoe at a low price . . . of course, with the low price comes the durability factor. Riddell redesigned the toe and sole to look amazingly like the Honig's shoe. I've seen it available on a couple of sites (even Honig's), but the price went way up . . . amazingly about the same as Honig's version.

Whatever you get.. dont get the ASA Spotbilt shoe..

Its plenty comfy, I like the look and prefer high top which is why i got it.. but I didnt notice until a particular mens FP game that it is "hard toe" .. not steal toe. Gotta read the small print a little better :)

Yeah...I bought two pair at about the same time. So I am set for a while.

Tom,
How did the meeting with the company prez go??

Haven't had the meeting yet. Ball is in my court to set it up.

With all of us hanging by a "thread", or is it a shoelace? :eek:

Hardly check the softball board, but i figured i'd throw in my 2 cents-

I use Tanel plate shoes for baseball and i absolutely love them. No problems what so ever. They are light, offer great protection, and look much better than the frankenstein-type shoes the other companies like spotbuilt have (but to credit spotbuilt- i own their base shoes and absolutely love those too).

For inquiring minds, my meeting is set for Monday afternoon.

I have the Spotbuilt base shoe, also. Love it. Great traction, very comfortable.

Going to wear those to your meeting ;)

I have 2 pair of Ridell plate shoes along with a smooth pair of Dr. Shoells Steel Toe.................I like all of them......a bunch

I almost cried when my Reebok Cross Trainers bit the dust.......I bought several field shoes in the interim and did not like any of them........I just got a pair of NIKE cross trainers.......and love them.........although not as much as my old Reeboks

I guess I missed the NB shoe.........are they cross trainers??

Joel,
If you like Reeboks, My field shoe is a Reebok shoe called the Duty Proof shoe. It has a yellow and black inner sole and a great outer sole for traction on the field. I love those shoes.

Yup. And they are great as a field shoe. I have been using them solely for about 5-6 years now.
