Review on Performance Review and Buying Guide: New Balance Men's Fresh Foam 950 V3 Umpire Mid-Cut Baseball Shoe by Ryan Larson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Watch out for the insoles!

At first sight and in use I really liked this basic shoe. But now that some of them are breaking, I'm starting to have problems with them. First, the standard insole is almost paper thin. After 1 day of work in 4 travel games, my legs are tired. I then added a standard aftermarket insole on day two to help and the back seam rubbed a large blister on one of my heels. I will continue to use them, but I will do so with boot socks and not your average Smittys or Cliff Keen referee socks. The fit is a bit small overall, but still wearable.

Pros
  • Synthetic upper
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
