A friend of mine who has been officiating for over 30 years just bought some new shoes. I asked him if he got the patent leathers. His reply was, "Are you kidding, I can get yelled at enough without having shoes that make me stand out and be more noticeable." After next season I make break down and try a pair. Heck, in the 70's I probably only had one pair of dress shoes in my closet that weren't patent leather. Can't forget those black patent loafers with the alligator print on the top of the foot! Looked great with my leisure suit!
