I would trust the judgment of a wingman better than a referee liek myself when it comes to good shoes.
We all know us referees do move real fast. The true fact is a referee moves straight almost all the time while wings and judges move in several different directions with graceful speed. They need a tougher shoe much like a soccer official.
One last point. Last season I spent a number of hours in the gym working legs and a lot on concentrated work on my ankles only to strain my heel in the first game of the season -- it didn't heal all season, only pain.
The interesting thing was the rest of my lower leg area, shins, femor etc. responded very well to the rigors of football officials.
Get in the gym and workout and almost any shoe will feel good.
