Plate shoes

[Hman]

I originally had Spot Built low cuts, then after they were purchased, I bought the same pair under the Pentagon label.

The Pentagon are not as good as my original Spot Built. Eyelets cut the shoe strings, and a they are not nearly as comfortable as the Original Spot Builts.

In low cuts, what does the forum recommend or not recommend. Please include the price paid for the plate shoes.

My first pair were spotbilts, I liked them well enough but seemed to have to be polished alot and would easily wear down to bare spots on the leather. Think I paid $70 for my first pair. I have New Balance mid rise plate shoes now. They are a little more comfortable than the spotbilts and hold their polish a lot longer. I have yet to wear a bare spot anywhere on them. Got them a couple of years ago and to best of my memory paid $85 or $90 for them.

Thanks to several recommendations on this board earlier this year, I purchased the 3n2 plate shoes, and boy, am I ever glad I did! They are comfortable from the get-go, protect your feet nicely, and are feather light. The so fat have taken the worst mud the fields of the Hudson Valley can offer, and clean up looking like new easily. I bought mine off the ASA website for $90, an am glad I did.

By the way, a belated 'thanks' to those who recommended these to me....

Tanel, hands down. Could wear them on the bases. Heck, could ware them everyday. Around $109, I believe.

I have a year old pair of 3N2 and really like them, but prefer my old Riddells.

A lot of folks like the Tanel, but they don't come in wide widths, do they?
