In addition to the patent leather converse whistle all-stars from officials choice, there are also several sites on the internet that sell the regular leather version of the converse whistle. I wear the patent leather ones and they have been fine so far, so I would assume that the regular leather ones are comfortable too. I don't know to what extent, but it seems (from the name) the converse whistle's are somewhat designed for officiating needs, so they should be good shoes. You could always order a few pairs while they are still around...
My first pair of officials shoes were Nike Air Monarchs. They are an all-black cross trainer that I have seen at several different footwear stores. They were great in terms of looks and comfort.
Hope this helps...
