Shoes

[bucky]

I will be using Nike Lebron XVI low in triple black. Very comfortable but not very breathable.

Hoka Bondi 5 and Hoka Clifton 6. Most comfortable shoes by far.

patent leather basketball officiating shoes put out by ump-attire.com; very comfy however they are now 3 yrs old---a few scuff marks on them that I need to buff out tho before the thanksgiving tournament.

Just purchased the Asics Men's Gel Quantum 360. I have not worn them yet in a game, but they feel good and I have heard great things about them. They will be my college shoe for now. I have liked Asics in the past for normal shoes, so I know they feel good on my feet normally. Never saw a basketball shoe I felt worth wearing. We will see how they work out in a few weeks.

Peace

I've sworn by Zigs for a long time, but thinking about making a switch. I'd be interested to hear mid-season reviews from those of you who are trying new shoes this season.

[swkansasref33]

Brooks Adrenaline for me.

I have 2 pairs of Nike Air Monarchs in all black. They look good and are comfortable. They aren't marketed as court shoes, but they are good as court shoes and as running shoes.

Does this shoe have a narrow toe box? That typically is the problem for me.

Not sure what you mean, but there seems to be plenty of room in the toe area. I used them last night for the first time and love them. Great shoe so far. They were really comfortable and it was the first time wearing them for a game.

Since I don't wear them, I don't know about prices of these shoes generally, but Officially Sports currently has the Asics Gel Quantum 90 and the Asics Jolt 2 on sale:

I purchase a lot of running shoes and many reference the toe box in the shoe. This is just as you assume, the fore part of the foot, including the toes. I have a pretty narrow foot from the front of the arch back but my fore foot is wider. Nike, Brooks and Hoka tend to be more narrow in this area.

Thanks for your initial review.
