Really? I can't imagine that being very comfortable. 😀

I would like a steel toed shoe for football (umpire). Do you think the instep guard could be permanently removed without screwing up the shoe?

Someone (I forget who) makes a plate shoe with a removable metarsal guard. That might work for you.

No, why? I need a 13.5 but Hongs doesn't have it, Purchase does.

Did you see my question at the bottom of the first page?

Sorry, missed it -- the plate isn't removable on the Zig plate shoe without some surgery.

Thanks BLydic. It was fun to make, but the $130.00 price tag is kind of steep.

*sigh*

I know.

That's why I asked if you thought it could be removed/cutoff without totally screwing up the shoe. I've never seen a pair, so I though I would ask someone who has.

I haven't seen any that would be as comfortable as the Zig.

I created the same shoe, except it has a white stripe and Reebok on the back. Ad $15 shipping and $145 is a little pricey.

A white stripe on a basketball official's shoe? I would guess that you also don't wear a black belt, or use a noose lanyard. And you probably work three man games.

You would be correct. We're allowed to have white on the shoes.

Man. You young'uns sure have it easy. I bet that you play with a ball that doesn't have laces.

I'm working a tournament this weekend with someone who has some, I will try to get the model number for you.

I wear Schechers composite toe safety tennis shoes for work. 12 hours shift on concrete and the shoes really help. They are light and I think come in black so you could use for football.

I am interested as well. I have the patents and really like them, but I also like to match with my crew (plain leather vs patent leather) so I would buy another pair. I have 2-3 pair of Air Max's but find the Zigs more comfortable (and significantly cheaper).

We need to open an entire Ref Zigs Forum! 😀

They make a pair of John Wall Zigs that are all black. A fellow official bought them at Footlocker last year. I haven't been able to find them online.

Looks like a good used pair of Reebok Zigs, size 9.5, patent leather on ebay, 1 day remaining
