The official umpire shoe of the Nataional Softball Association and National Pro Fastpitch. With its wear-resistant, highly polishable, 100% genuine leather construction, the Reaction Pro Plate Mid is a great call for the officiating professional with an eye on comfort and protection. This shoe offers the legendary comfort of a 3N2 turf shoe and the protection of a rugged carbon-fiber metatarsal plate backed by an impact-absorbing cushion and a reinforced carbon fiber toe. At only 18.7 ounces per shoe, it may be the lightest plated umpire shoe in the game. Its trademark midsole has been specifically designed to reduce the knee and joint stress associated with game-after-game action.
