MU450

MU450 umpire plate shoe is the best shoe I have ever had and I have been umpiring for 31 years. It is extreamly comfortable, gives great support and is not to heavy to wear for 7 games in a row. I think a better quality shoe lace is called for though. I don't think you can go wrong with this one, so if you need a umpire shoe buy this one fast.

These shoes are top notch. They offer great protection, are very comfortable, and very lightweight....basically like wearing a steel toed running shoe to do plate work in. The most comfortable plate shoe I've ever had. This is my second year in these shoes and they still look great. As someone else mentioned, the laces are mediocre at best and not what I was expecting from NB.

This shoe is must have for an umpire looking for comfort as well as protection. Holds up very nice. only problem is one of the eyelets tore.

Looked and felt great out of the box. Lasted approximately 145 plate jobs, then the protective covers over the metatarsals began to rip near the toe on both shoes. Partners have had the same complaint. NB should make a fix.
