I had one problem with the patent Zigs. After just two games, the "pattern thing" on the sole came loose. (I don't know how else to explain it...but it is like a jigsaw puzzle piece that fits into the waffle part of the sole).
I called the retailer...and he said it was the second complaint he had out of 300+ pairs sold. Had my local cobbler glue it back. I thought it was a design defect...but he said it was just poorly made. No problems since I got them fixed.
At the time (early January), I could not find another one in my size in the U.S. Reebok offered to replace them with a "comparable pair," which turned out to be one of equal money value, not the patent leather ref model. Retailer offered by money back...but I wanted to keep the shoe.
I bought 1/2 size larger...and since this fix...have been thrilled with them.
