Before you get any shoe, you need to go to a quality running shoe store and have them help you figure out what your pronation factor is. Most running shoes fall into motion control (overpronation), stability (slight overpronation), and neutral (underpronation/supination). If you fall into one of the first two categories, chances are good that the referee shoes sold by referee vendors will work fine, just depending on your tastes. So will many of the court or cross-training shoes. However, if you're a neutral like I am (and keep in mind that those three categories CAN break down further), you probably aren't going to like what's offered by referee vendors.
I wear running shoes. If I couldn't wear those, I'd have to quit. However, I'm a bigger frame, 220 lbs. guy. If you're lighter, it might not be as big a deal. But you do need to know your foot type.
