I've been using the NB shoes and they are light and comfortable and all that. And they do polish up nicely. I was given a pair of the 3N2 that I must wear when working some games - they polish up nicely, they are very light and so far, I like them a lot. As for where to get the NB, check with any of the reputable dealers.

I've been wearing the 3N2 shoes the last two weeks, and I really like them.

Steve, on the 3N2's, does the size and width seem the same as your other shoes? I would like to get close to the right size the first time and I will be ordering them online. Thanks, Dave

Dave,
I went with a half size bigger and they fit fine.

What kind did you wear before NB for comparison sake? What do you mean by "must wear when working some games"?

It means when you get something free for promotional purposes, you must wear them to work the games involved in that league or you will not be working that league for long

Doesn't make any difference because you are not going to be allowed to wear you Wilson mask.

This always amuses me. I've never been told what equipment to wear. I guess my titanium mask would be out (or have I not been following along).

For those looking for NB350 -- I have a pair of the NB995 shoes that out-comfort even those (and I had the 350s for a few seasons).

I just got a pair of plate shoes that are the most comfortable I have ever put on -- the Reebox RBK shoe -- this shoe would give those who hate white on the shoes an immediate stroke.

Cecil,
Prior to the NB shoes - I've got the 350's and the 450's, I wore Spot-Bilt base shoes (a couple of pairs). They were good, but I tried the NB and liked them. Now that I've tried the 3N2's, I like them too.
