Reebok Zig Plate Shoes

[IowaMike]

Thinking about buying new plate shoes this year; I've always worn New Balance and like them but would like to go to a low cut shoe and am looking at the Reebok Zig Tech. My question to anyone who has them; how have they been comfort wise, and are they difficult to clean? The first thing that goes through my mind with the zig tech soles is that it would be a real pain in the rear to get the dirt out of those deep grooves. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Not for nothing, but these Zig plate shoe are the ugliest thing I have ever seen!

They look much better on the bottom of a pair of charcoal plate pants.

That said, I bought the all-black low tops. After a couple of years with the NB 460s, I realized I hate having all that shoe covering up my ankles.

After suffering a bad high ankle sprain last football season, I appreciate the support the 460s give me. But I can see your point.

I get it -- I used to have really bad ankles and used to use lace up braces along with my high top shoes. Fortunately, I don't need them anymore.

I have the all black Zig plate shoes. They really feel like you're wearing a pair of tennis shoes. Extremely light and comfortable. I didn't think they could do much better than the original Reebok Magistrate plate shoes, but they did. I don't have any problem cleaning them either. I just use Murphy's soap/water mix and a brush then wipe them clean with a rag. Follow up with liquid polish and they look good.

I have taken a couple of toe shots in the last week and didn't feel a thing either.
