Umpire footwear
Just an FYI type message. I just wanted you guys to know that I've found the perfect shoes for SP umpires or working the bases for FP. You may have seen a lot of players wear them. They're comfortable, durable and they breath very well. They're made by Boombah. There are a couple of different styles that you can get in all black. I wore a pair all of last season and they're still in very good shape. I bought another pair for nats and those will be used as my local tournament shoes while my last season pair will be used for league games. Oh BTW, they clean up very easily with a damp rag. Here's a link to the pair I wore for nats... Boombah Resistance Trail Shoe

How well and/or easily do they clean up? I'm used to polishing my shoes a lot, and these don't quite look like the kind you would normally polish.

No need for polish. I wiped them with a damp rag between games and if I had a game off, a little Armor All would make them look brand new.

I wore out 2 pair of 350's 2 years ago and I was looking for a more reliable pair of shoes when I found the Boombah's. Like I said, you'll see a lot of players wear them and I asked a bunch of them how they liked the shoe. All I got was positive feedback. The first pair I bought last season will be used again this season because they have held up. On the field, I'm moving as much as any player so I need a shoe that will hold up and I've found them.
