So what's being worn (and liked) for a field show these days?  My Reebok Magistrates (3rd pair) are coming to their end of life and I need to replace them.

Suggestions?

Thanks

 

The New Balance 950 V2 works for me. I find them very comfortable.

I really like the New Balance shoes, both bases and plate.

Man, the new NB plate shoe is no joke! Those things are beyond comfortable as well as protective. They're also not bad to look at either.

I work in the Coachella Valley in California, so there isn't a whole lot of mud on our fields.  Makes it easy to just rinse the dust off the plate shoes in my kitchen sink.

I have seen them, and was disappointed to see that NB used the polyester fabric in them.  My past/ current experience with that material is that it is difficult to keep clean.

Can you share your experience on the shoes from the cleaning side?  Thanks.

So how did we get to Plate shoes?  Looking for field shoes.

I have the NB 450's. They work fine, but I think they're ugly. 

I also picked up a pair of all black Reebok shoes from Honigs. Love those shoes.
