Yet another officiating shoe question
I am looking at replacing one of my pairs of Reebok Zigs and was looking to try something different.
I have heard about the Nike Air Max - anybody wear these? If so, where did you find them. I googled them and there seem to be several different types of Nike Air Max shoes. Any other suggestions for other brands/models of shoes that I can look into? Seems like most of the online referee shops are pushing Zigs, 3n2, or New Balance. I did find one place selling Adidas Speed Runners. Anybody have experience with those (or using running shoes in general)? I like the idea of the mesh for breath ability, but was wondering if a running shoe would provide decent support. I know shoes fit everybody differently - just looking for a staring point.

The RefZigs were really the best shoe that I have worn in my career. They were comfortable and I never had any other major problems. But I did look for other shoes as the Zigs had changed a little and started looking at other brands.
I just bought the Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit. This shoe is very light and easy to run in. I love this shoe, but if you are stuck on just wearing a leather version, there is not one at this time. It is a mesh surface but is very comfortable. I have purchased the one with a little grey, but there are versions with some all-black in them as well. Love the shoe and used them near in preseason events. Peace

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go to a running store and have them examine your stride and foot type.
If you want a running shoe, Brooks carries an all-black model designed for people that need support. The most important thing is to not be cheap and change shoes when it's time. Shoes are the most important part of your uniform when it comes to taking care of your body. |

This literally cannot be stressed enough.

I'm curious how you would figuratively stress it. Because only then would literally stressing it make any sense.

This season I replaced my beloved Nike Air Max 2014's (I had stock piled a few pairs) with the Leather Bondi from Hoka One One. I got them from Zappo's after trying them on at a local shoe store. I'm a bit of a Clydesdale at 6'4" 255, and these are like running on pillows. Being all black leather I could also shine them up if I had a mind to. A bit pricey, but I've found they've been worth it. YMMV.

I have been wearing the matte leather Zigs mostly this season but looking to get the Nike Air Max More if I can find them in my size. I have a preference for leather, not patent, but its almost impossible to find these days. I like the Zigs but if I could find a good leather Air Max I'd buy 3 or 4 pair of them.

That doesn't look like leather - it looks like rubber or some composite material. The piece in the back looks like leather.

Well, I've shined them up with Leather Luster; been solid with no cracks all season (knock on wood).
