Plate shoes

[RKBUmp]

Glad you have liked your 3n2 plate shoes, I have had no luck with their base shoes. My first pair literally melted. In the AZ heat the glue just released from the sole and the whole bottom of the shoe started coming off. 3n2 was gracious enough to replace them with a new pair even though I had owned them for about 3 months. The replacement pair have faired a little better, although the soles are once again beginning to turn loose. The turf bottoms also wear extremely fast. I have done maybe 30-40 base games with them and the bottoms are almost smooth.

I bought the 3N2 plate shoes last year and I really love them. Take polish well (and hold it) very comfortable, lightweight. I think I paid around $90.00 from ump attire. I want to try the base shoes, but I too have heard about them not holding up. I will probably try them though next time I need base shoes.

I love my 3N2 plate shoes, but a friend took a shot off the plastic toe box the first weekend he wore his and ended up with a broken toe. They're light, but they don't protect like steel toes.

I sent a pair back and got a new replacement pair. it seems that on one shoe, the toe plate was missing. I was informed that the toe box or plate is composite material.

I thought you HAD steel toes...


Oh wait, that's only in one foot. And they're probably titanium.

Good one Sean! I have to be sure to protect my "bad" foot (the 59-year old one). The good (2-year old) carbon graphite foot has to wear the matching shoe whether it needs protecting or not.
