Actually I'm pretty young and thin (end humblebrag), and the Zigs gave me some pretty big issues last year that kept me from running for about 2 months after the season. I discourage anyone from using them, but if you must use them then do what you have to do. I went to the Brooks Adrenaline all black this year. They're not as sharp looking as the Zigs, but I can run all night in them and still feel pretty fresh at the end of the night. I know nobody is asking for advice, but if you have issues finding a pair of shoes that work for you I can offer this as a pretty avid runner (12 marathons, countless 5k/10k/half marathons) and running coach. Go to a specialized running store and do a treadmill/gate test. Find out what type of shoe you need for your gait, and then find a pair of all blacks that fit that profile. You don't have to buy them there, in fact they're usually overpriced by about 25% over what you can find online. Some places will match prices, some won't. But if you're not taking care of your feet, you're taking years off of your officiating life. I don't mean to sound like a douche by telling you my credentials, but if it helps you to trust me a bit on this I guess it's okay for me to share that.
