I have usually gone with New Balance Low Cut base shoes. I would like any recommendations that anyone has out there. I have some very good inserts now, and they seem to help. I would like a high top base shoe but I have not seen one yet-except for the New Balance with that stupid Gray logo that looks like it would get dirty and look like crap after one game.

You can take that N of with rubbing alcohol and a qtip and then polish it up to a high gloss

Really? That would be great. Have you done this yourself?

That is the shoe that I would like. I tried it on, it is very comfortable having the high top support.

Thanks,

Joe

Yes I have the plate shoes ... it takes a little elbow grease and may not be able to be done all in one sitting but I did that with the plate shoes and put three coats of wax polish on it and it looks like the factory did it. People have been asking me if New Balance has finally come out with it .. I just smile

Tanel base shoes are wonderful, IMO. I have inserts too and the shoes are light and comfortable give good support, but check local feet

Unlike their plate shoes, the base shoes have a synthetic (not leather) upper. Any issues with polishing, sweating, etc?

Not as of yet, second season. I did cheat and use leather luster on them! I put just enough that when wiped down they look like they just had a nice polishing, but they don't have that high gloss fake look like patent leather...they clean up nice and trust me I have sweat plenty in them without issue

Uhhh.......I think that was the question, whether you sweat or not. Synthetics and leather treated with Leather Luster don't breath like leather, thus causing some to sweat where they normally would not if the shoe were made of leather.

Anyone interested in a pair of these in size 10.5?

I couldn't give my Tanel's away! They were horrible shoes. I would not recommend them to anyone. They blistered my feet horribly. Called Tanel who said customer satisfaction guaranteed. They told me I needed a 1/2 size larger. They said they would sell me another pair at $10 off!!!! Wouldn't give me a free pair. I told them to shove it!

Psst! This is not going to help my sale!

I don't think causing blisters is universal since every pair of feet are different.

My feet pronate inwards and these shoes do not counter that. Too bad because they are beautiful shoes. Right now I am wearing Reebok cross trainers and they keep my feet level.
