To take this one-step further it may well be the shoes. At the beginning of last season, 2002-03, I switched from Reeboks DMX to NB608s. My beloved Reeboks died and I could not find them in a local store. My legs started to hurt just like yours. Tried Spenco Cross Trainer insoles but the were of little or no help.
While talking to a friend at work, she asked me how refereeing was going. I told her about my problems and how I can hardly walk after some games. She is a serious armature runner, 10Ks and a number of Marathons. She then asked if I was using New Balance shoes. She related that she and a number of her co-runners have had problems with the newer NB shoes' built in arches. Bad leg problems developed in a short period of time for all of them. It seems that the arch is in the wrong place for some peoples feet. This only shows up when you are running and thus pounding on them.
I was able to find some DMXs online and in a few weeks my legs were fine. SO, even though you sunk a lot of money into the 609s Id say try to find some other shoe.
