I still have my Conversve patent leathers that still look good after about 5 years. Since they still look good, I keep wearing them, but I beef them up with Dr.Scholls about every other mouth. I even blew the ball of the shoe out in a camp and Dr.Scholls pads corrected that. This is my everyday regular varsity contest shoe.
For the bigger games, I have the Officials Choice shoe which they don't make anymore. This by far is the best looking referee shoe I've ever seen and it has the comfort I love because it's a mid-top. I only break these out for special occassions. I have had them for 2 years now and they still look new. What a shame they dropped this product.
I have a pair of regular New Balance I purchased several years ago for my less than varsity assignments. I fix them up with Leather Luster and they take a nice shine. They are comfortable but my feet hurt afterwards and I'm not sure if that's the shoe or the fact of running so many games in a row.
Try to purchase your patent leather shoes in the summer, the price is cheaper than. I got both my patent leather shoes for haft price, $30.00 when I bought them and I absouletly love them. Maybe it's just because of what I paid for them....
