My New Balance 350s just arrived from Honig's via UPS about 10 minutes ago.

Wow. These ARE nice!

I got the "all black" version. They're not really all black, but I won't have to take a Sharpie to them as much.

Now that you've seen the light...

Pay no mind to the haters running around in their dumb looking cowboy boots or 15 y/o +POS ugly low cut Cinco De Mayo dance shoes.

I've yet to see an umpire wearing cowboy boots, thankfully! My Spot-Bilts were fine, but the quality just wasn't there. I call a couple hundred games per year, and I just couldn't pass up the chance to try out something new.

My wife thinks I'm weird for wearing them around the house all day after I got them.

"But honey, I have to break them in!"

I broke mine in over a weekend tournament. I brought my spotbilts just in case.. but never needed them... and never looked back.
