I wore the 3n2 mid-tops last season and they held up just fine. I have a wide foot and the shoes were comfortable and offered great support.

Michael, are the ones pictured the mid tops? They look more like low tops. I don't see any that are advertised as mid tops. Dave

Dang, that picture of it looks like a porsche 944 advertisement.... vrooom.. vroooom. fugly looking from the pic IMHO (but that just might be the pic) :D

This model is not a mid-top. I did see this shoe last fall at the ASA National Council meeting, and it looks like a good shoe (although a bit less sporty, perhaps, than some).

ASA's officialgear.com is selling this shoe for $59 + shipping, so the introductory price quoted by Larry at Legends ($40 + shipping) is excellent. I have purchased from him several times, and he does a good job with servicing his customers. If you notice his site, he doesn't carry a lot of items; just ones he personally believes in. He is one of us; an active umpire (I have had the pleasure to work tournaments with him), also active on this board. I don't think you can go wrong with the combination of this price and dealing with Larry.

Thanks for the heads up on his site, Steve. I've made sure to put it in my "Umpire Gear" bookmarks!

That is either one ugly shoe or they need to fire their marketing photographer.

Maybe they got their designer from Pontiac. You know, the one who designed the Aztek?

shipwreck Mon Feb 16, 2009 05:18pm

How about the designers of the Pacer, Gremlin and Javelins. IMO, some of the ugliest cars ever. Dave

wadeintothem Mon Feb 16, 2009 05:43pm

I think I'd need to see it in person. I would never buy it based on that picture.

I owned a later-model Javelin and received nothing, but compliments and queries as to how a sailor could afford such an expensive car.

Say what you want about AMC, the car looked good and ran great, right up until I plowed it into the back of some guys car parked in front of his house on a curve. Don't know why that SOB didn't have it in his empty driveway. :confused:

I proceeded to put my head through the windshield, rip my chin away from my jaw on the steering wheel and bite my tongue nearly in half. :eek:

Think about the pain of just accidentally nipping your tongue and now think about an ER surgeon using a fishhook to put in four stitches across the top of the tongue with no, none, nada, zip, zero, not a trace of a pain killer.

I thought about suing AMC because there was no disclaimer warning me to not operate the vehicle while sleeping :rolleyes:
