Umpire footwear

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 have also heard good things about this shoe. Alot of guys in my association are going to them. Price isn't bad either.

Hmmm... I might consider them. How do they stack up compared to, say, the NB 350s?

And by the way... Welcome to the forum, hercload!

Thanks Ump,
I have the NB 350's and like them. A regular partner bought the Boombah's and said he likes them more than the 350's. Said they are lighter and not nearly as hot in the summer.

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.
