Mine arrived today - very nice. Comfortable and much lighter than I'm used to. Ordered a half size large and the orthodic inserts fit fine. Ready to try them on the court next weekend! Hoping for the best!!

From where did you order and at what cost?

I will be attending a multi association clinic in Nov. I called Honig's as they
always have a booth there. The told me they will bring several pairs (my size)
so I can try them on before purchase.

Plus, Smitteez has the Zigs for 95.99. 2012 Air Max = 159.99.
I like my Air Max's too. Picked up a pair of Black 2010 Air Max from Foot Locker just the other day Got lucky they had them. Also you can find them on EBay too.

I ordered my Zigs from Foot Locker on Tuesday and expect them next Tuesday. Like grunewar, I ordered my 1/2 size larger, since they come in half sizes but not in wider widths. Also, Foot Locker and East Bay were both running $20 off $99 or more purchases.So I got them for 79.99 plus tax and shipping. $88. Plus, they're easier to return to Foot Locker than to a mail order officiating vendor.

Two B15U games today. Really liked them. Very comfortable. So far, I'm a fan.

Have you worn the Zigs? For some reason, you were the last person I'd expect to wear these.

I've thought about trying them a half-size up, like you. I normally buy EE shoes from New Balance.

Okay. Not sure why.

I like New Balance for the wide widths. I've also have Reeboks that are wides.

Can't tolerate Nike. They're terrible for my feet.

Not really. I was one of the first in our association to wear pleated slacks as well as patent leather shoes. And before we went to the stupid gray pinstripes, my crew was wearing the black/white stripes with the black inseam.

If I could find decent turf shoes with a steel toe, I'd wear them in football to keep those damn linebackers off my feet!

And if I never put on another pair of knickers, my life will be complete.

Rebook Patent Leather ZigTech Shoes

I got the Rebook Zig Shoes this year that is Patent Leather and shiny. They are very nice shoes. I have inserts I am supposed to wear for plantar issues, but the zig shoes I don't have to wear them because the support in them are excellent. I used them already this year and they are worth the money and they look really sharp.

You can order them from the Finish Line and they have the cheapest Prices I have seen so far. Right now they are running $79.98 and they ship pretyt fast, when I ordered mine back in October I had them within 5 days with just regular ground shipping.

Yes, those are the same ones we've been discussing.
