New Plate Shoes

[Skahtboi]

Well...believe it or not, I am still using the old Riddell Arbiter. I still have a new pair in the box. When they were getting phased out several years ago, I bought several pair at like $50.00 a pair. (They normally sold for $79.99, I think.) I don't know what I am going to do when I run out of these. Retire, I guess.

I use only Tanels. Have for years. The circular cleat pattern is much easier on my knees than others. For my money, the only shoe to buy. But they only come in D widths. I use the NB base shoes because the tanel base is not wide enough and they are very comfortable with a lot of cushioning. The guys that use their plate shoe swear by them.

I have used the NB 350 (base shoe) and the NB 450 (plate shoe) since they became available and have been very satisfied. They are comfortable, lightweight and low maintenance. Neither pair has ever had any shoe polish on them. I spray them with mild soapy water and wipe them down. When not in use I keep cedar shoehorns in them that helps maintain their shape as well as absorbing moisture and odors.
