Reebok Zig Plate Shoes

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.

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.
