The 3N2 low rise plate shoes are great as well. They are very light and very very comfortable. The concerns some have stated about the toe not being steel are unfounded. The material that the to is made of is rock hard and takes direct hits very well. I bout the 1/2 size larger and the fit is perfect.

I also have the New Balance high tops and I prefer the 3N to those. The only issue is that it has not improve my strike zone. I had several parents tell me I was squeezing the pitcher. Bit man, my feet fell great.....LOL

Officially Sports in Pittsburgh (formerly Purchse Officials Supplies), I believe offers a 10% discount if you buy both plate and base. The base shoe also works well if you do football ........................

I bought a pair earlier this spring, I have taken them to a shoe repair guy to have extra leather sown over the top two eyelets as I have torn the eyelets out on each side. Might be me from wanting my shoes on tight. They are light, the shine up great with leather luster, and I have taken some pitches of them and am still doing great. I wear a 9 and bought a 9.

Ok.. took a pitch directly to the front of shoe (where the steel toe should be).... ummm.. OUCH!
Pitcher couldnt find the strike zone.. but managed to hit me on that 1"x1" spot and dont get me started on the catcher...

It didnt deform the shoe and no visible damage to the shoe itself.... but it didnt protect the delicates inside.

(yes, i wept like a child and limped off the field... never to be seen again.)

ok, not really...
But darnit!... it hurt like a @#!#%@#

Can someone please tell me why anyone would buy, let alone make a shoe for standing in the middle of the plate?

I am glad the spammer bumped this thread to the top, otherwise we would've missed out on that joke!

Hurt my toe
That non steel toe was not effective for me,
My New Balance protects better.
Anyone want to buy my 3n2's?
