I've seen a few officials at lower levels wearing such shoes and that just looks bad anyway you go. A "little" accent color is fine with me, but too much is a distraction. You have black slacks on, the shoes shouldn't have enough non-black content to catch someone's attention. White treads stick out like a sore thumb.

Yep. I know, which is why those are running shoes and not ref shoes. I would love to wear them but I'm trying to move up so last thing I'm doing is something our assn bylaws spell out pretty clearly. They want all black shoes=I wear all black shoes.
