New Balance Plate Shoes

[NYBLUE]

I've been wearing the 450's for about 14 months now and love 'em.
It's true, they need to be broken in a bit but not much.

The only problem I had was the laces broke after wearing them for approximately 25 games or so. I thought the laces that came with the shoe were short to begin with. Get yourself a backup pair of laces.

I used a black sharpie, then shoe dye and polish to blacken the "N"'s and other white markings. One umpire who has these shoes took them to a shoe repair shop and had the "N"'s removed. Looks nice!
