Referee shoes - I have less idea and just went with 2 x NB for their comfort and so I can swap em out if my feet hurt......or they start to smell really bad!
Referee shoes are just running shoes marketed to referees, right? What you're buying are high end running shoes that are customized for small groups -- these shoes for people who overpronate and run on cinder track, those shoes for people who underpronate and run in the forest, and so on.

I buy cheap, generic all-black running shoes and put in the inserts I need for my feet, use Sharpie on the silver logo stuff. THen I call them custom referee shoes -- since they are custom designed just for me!
