got my 3N2 shoes
 
I just received my 3N2 base shoes. I wore them around the house and they feel good. Our High School season starts in about 1 week and I can't wait to put them through their paces. Dave

Do yours feel a bit narrow, or are my feet just fatter than yours? :)

High school softball is played in the fall in Nebraska?

Back to the subject, I've worn the 3N2 shoes all spring and summer, and I've found the only shoes I'll buy from now on.

They seem about normal to me, maybe a little narrow but not much, but in my regular tennis shoes I usually get the wider version so I guess I wouldn't be the best judge of that. I really need to get on the field for the true test.

Yes, HS softball is played in the Fall in Nebraska. Starts August 27th (I guess that is still Summer) and the State tourney is October 14, 15 and 16th Dave

You will find this to be true in other states as well. I know that OK and GA play in the fall, and probably some others.

I have lived in Nebraska for my whole life of 50 years. Same town also. Fall here is much better weather than Spring weather. I do college ball in the spring and the temps can be real cold in March. Also rainy much of the time. During our Fall season, high temps in the 90's, dropping down to the 50's at night. Toward the end it can be somewhat cooler, maybe highs in the 50's around state tourney time. I love the Fall. Dave

Any season, let's just umpire in Hawaii.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to return mine. I've tried wearing them around the house for 5 minutes, and they're just way too tight for me. I must have fat feet or something, but I've always worn the same size as the pair of 3N2s that I bought.

Hopefully, ASA will take them back, even though it's been about a month or month and a half (only wore them around the house twice for 5 minutes).

Just called Official Gear, and despite the fact that I ordered the 3N2s on July 8, they'll take them back. I only wore them twice around the house on the carpet for a total of about 10 minutes, and I never wore them outside. They're spotless.

Great service, guys. Really!

Got to use my 3N2 shoes today. Absolutely love them. Very comfortable and great traction for stopping and starting. Can't really figure out the flap that goes over the shoe strings. Velcro on the back with slots to put shoe strings through. The way I had them, the flap kept pushing up and came on the outside of my pants. I didn't take the time to figure the right way, so I just easily unvelcroed (is that a word??) them and removed them. I would surely recommend them to anyone. Got mine for $49.98 plus $12.98 s&h Dave

I pulled the flaps off of mine, too. Everyone I know who has them has pulled the flap off - or as in the case with one of Mike's deputies, has had the flap pulled off for them.:D
