Getting size 13.5 Zigs now
Finished the season with some pretty beat-up shoes, or at least feeling a bit broken down. So thought I'd pick up some new ones in the off-season.
I liked my patent-leather Zigs so I thought I'd go there again. Unless I need a size 7 or 16 (only slightly exaggerating) it looks so far like I'll be SOL. I wear size 13.5. Most places haven't even listed that, but it's on the tongue of the current pair. Any recommendations for finding these before the fall/new season? Or is there probably no chance until production kicks back up? I guess I don't absolutely have to have them now. But it would probably help the legs and feet if I did. |

They have 13 or 14 listed here. No half sizes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Actually I'm pretty young and thin (end humblebrag), and the Zigs gave me some pretty big issues last year that kept me from running for about 2 months after the season. I discourage anyone from using them, but if you must use them then do what you have to do. I went to the Brooks Adrenaline all black this year. They're not as sharp looking as the Zigs, but I can run all night in them and still feel pretty fresh at the end of the night. I know nobody is asking for advice, but if you have issues finding a pair of shoes that work for you I can offer this as a pretty avid runner (12 marathons, countless 5k/10k/half marathons) and running coach. Go to a specialized running store and do a treadmill/gate test. Find out what type of shoe you need for your gait, and then find a pair of all blacks that fit that profile. You don't have to buy them there, in fact they're usually overpriced by about 25% over what you can find online. Some places will match prices, some won't. But if you're not taking care of your feet, you're taking years off of your officiating life. I don't mean to sound like a douche by telling you my credentials, but if it helps you to trust me a bit on this I guess it's okay for me to share that.

Using local retail as a trial service only to buy elsewhere is a guaranteed way to eliminate such business...then where will you go? I buy a LOT of stuff online. But, I make it a practice of buying locally if I use a local store to try out what I'm shopping for and I end up buying the item they had...even if it costs a bit more.
