Putting Steel From Plate Shoe on Base Shoes

[catcher]

I have an old pair of Nautilus plate shoes and a pair of Nike diamond trainers. Today I got the crazy idea of cutting off the steel part of the plate shoes and putting them on the base shoes. 
 

Anybody try this? Is it feasible? How well does it work? I think I'll either get a light, comfortable pair of plate shoes or I'll ruin two pairs of shoes that I like.

Do you wear a cup in the field too? If so I would add the steel plates to base shoes.

If I fill the need to wear a cup on the field I will wear it.  I don't think I would wear steel protection on base shoes.

This is a joke, right?

 

If not, and you are serious, I refer you to the Red Green show. He is an expert on using duct tape in any circumstance. "If the women find don't you handsome, they should at least find you handy"..

I was serious - it looked like it wouldn't be to hard to attach it. I guess nobody has tried.

 

Oh well.... guess it sounded better in my head.

Just try it.  You might have the next Umpire's Locker Room in your mind.

So how would you protect your toes since the met plate only protects the top of your foot?
