has anyone been over to the official's choice website recently, they have the newly redesigned patent leather shoe, is anyone thinking of buying this??

I hope they come in wide, and really are more comfortable then the old run and refs.

With all the other shoe companies I always chuckle inside when I see someone wearing these.

These ones look like they might be made by AND 1

And why would that be oh cynical one?

It is just my opinion of these shoes makes me chuckle inside when I see them.

Could someone tell me a link so i can see them please?

Maybe after that i might chuckle or be amazed by them...

I just purchased the R6KW-Spotbilt Grid Ref 6k ee width on the net of honigs.com
I love so much the old Avia 800 and the NB606 which no longer manufactured

These shoes look like they would get warm and start melting. I'm sure thats not the case, but I can just imagine your feet getting hot after a couple of games outside in the summer - JMHO.

You'd wear the shoes outside???

I wouldn't wear them at all.

oh ya, and here's a picture:

I have a pair of the converse patent leather shoes, and my feet don't get any hotter in those as they did in my converse normal leather shoes. The only downside was that the converse run and ref isn't the most comfortable shoe.

Actually, from looking at them, I like them even less. There is too much of the dull-looking sole showing.

Again I chuckle. :D

I didn't like the patent leather converse and I don't like these even more. I haven't wore converse since the run n refs. I think technology has passed them by.

I don't understand why some people say they don't think it matters whether shoes are shined and then some (I say some not all) of those same people get the patent leather shoes. Also, I know that my shoes look better shined than those converse do in patent leather. If you saw a nicely dressed man or woman in a pair of patent leather shoes/pumps and another in a pair of better shoes that were shined which would you think looked better? I know it is not the same thing but I would go for the shined shoes. I looooooooooooooooove Nikes but I think their patent leather shoes look cheesy too. Just my opinion and since there is not rule governing this issue it is all opinion.

I have some Adidas A3 leather
 

They are by far and away the best shoes I've worn, they shine to near patent leather shine, and have 1 inch of foam padding between a shock absorbing heel.
