Someone said something about it after I had changed to the new shoes and I told them that as soon as they paid to fix my feet, they could have a say in what I wore. Nothing has ever been said to me about it again.
Once again, do what the local association wants.

I'm somewhat the same way - I was an all-black shoes guy until last year when I finally decided I just couldn't do 4+ nights a week without more support (I've got fallen arches and am a significant pronator) and the officiating-specific shoes out there just don't have what I need.
So, I have an all-black, patent leather pair for varsity games, and another pair of mostly black running shoes specific for my feet that I wear any sub-V games. I wouldn't hesitate to wear them for V games either, but they've got a mesh look to them that just doesn't look so good. But my feet sure like them.
