New Balance T3000 Field Shoes are here... opinions?
boyinr replied to wolfe_man's topic in Umpire Equipment
I have been wearing the Hokas for a month for walking. I love them. Thinking about the Clifton model for an on field shoe. https://www.hoka.com/en/us/sale/clifton-8/194715600300.html?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc_brand&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItrPNlq22_QIVzv_jBx0aFg-4EAAYASAAEgK8mPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds -
Depends. Personally, I have found New Balance to be a bit narrow and Smittys to be a bit wide. I wear thin socks with one and double up with the other. YMMV. I don’t have any issues with the length on either pair.

Asking for a friend....... Any recommendations for size 18 shoes for the plate? We have a new umpire in our association. Thanks. I was thinking regular steel toed safety shoes and leave the metatarsal extension on.

I always thought that when the time comes, I am going to wait at least half a season before I get rid of everything. Welcome back @wolfe_man . It’s almost like you never actually left.

Then you could do like some did and just buy both. Lol. The All Star gets the comments. The Nike is more subtle. @Whosyourcaddy is great to deal with.

I work out of my trunk/pick up bed. I have had the 33” Diamond for 10 seasons. I can’t think of a complaint. Plenty of room, very sturdy, everything has a place. Gear and shoes on the top. Clothes in the bottom in plastic bins.

The extended TG on this mask is almost vertical. It’s cumbersome for me with a 6”. It almost rests on the CP. The options to me are; chop it and add a 6” TG, wear a 4” TG or don’t wear one. I have a 4” on a Nike. Couldn’t chop that.
-
So do I but, I went the budget route. Couldn’t sell it, so I decided to chop it. Set it up with Wilson all around. Sorry Madmax. Now, to figure out if I send it to Tony to powder coat and what color? Open to suggestions. I have both colors of TW ready for the summer.

@Thunderheadsplease lock this up. Thanks.

Price reduction. $55 for the frame and Adidas harness. Buyer pays actual shipping. PP F&F.

Before I did that I would buy a Cobolt and an Adams for the $300.

Writing an article on officials being assaulted.

Here’s another one. https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/player-facing-criminal-charge-vicious-attack-referee-during-basketball-game-cohasset/3ESGIMMW6FANRMO3QSHN35W7TQ/ -
Junior Valentine has really earned a spot. IMO.

Easy. They want to make 500 for the national TV market vs 5,000 for the local Rec park. It’s all about the Swoosh.
-
I will go out on a limb and say this is going to be just like the Nike catchers masks. The only way to get them is to know someone. They have no interest in providing low volume products to an even smaller market.
-
It’s been a back up for a while. Maybe 5 games total. I can sell this either as a bare frame w/the original harness or as a complete rig the way I had it set up with Wilson memory foam pads, a Diamond harness and a Champro 6” throat guard. All is very lightly used and excellent condition. A couple of small nicks from being in the bag. No dents or scratches. Nike style at a fraction of the cost. $60 for the frame and harness. $90 for the complete package. Buyer pays actual shipping. PP F&F

@MarsOmegabetter late than never. He should have thanked you for letting him stay for 4 extra innings.
-
My milage limit is set at 50 miles for HS. I think that is more than reasonable. However, I don’t expect to have to do that for every game. Our area is dense enough.
-
Maybe FM4000 pads then?
-
The Rampage is the closest in shape to the MAG. I would think they would work great. I thought @MadMaxhad already done this.
