That's a big difference - hard-toe vs steel-toe.
And the details - of this or some other piece of equipment/uniform - are something that every one of us has fouled up at one time or another.

Here in the Neth.'s we can buy at (a view) local stores, who get their stuff from the USA. So they need to put the transfer- and customscosts on top of the price.

Thank God Honig's has now a shop in Germany! Only 15Euro extra for shipping between Germany and Holland. More choice, better prices and good services!!!

Lucky for me my local UIC, Jerry Fick, had the back of his blazer filled with ASA umpire uni's. Got my hat, shirt, belt, ballbag, brush and clicker right from the man!

Does anyone know if the Blue Cintas work pants will pass as umpire blue long pants or if anyone would be able to tell the difference? I was told that they are what alot of umpires use. Remember this is just Mens and Coed SP in recreational leagues. I've seen some umps wearing their hats backwards, lol... I will also be working the ASA Cincinnati Metro Tourney, which is the biggest tourney of it's kind in the US, and blue long pants are mandatory. U think I can get away with the Cintas pants?

This is so nice..we had a guy here in Phoenix offering that up until he left town. I have such a hard time with the hats...I like to try them on first before I buy. Can't do that with mail order.

This question should be directed to the UIC of that tournament.
