another "shoes" topic

Thanks for all the suggestions. I might just go ahead and purchase separate shoes. I really have no idea where I might get a start but I probably meant "lower-level" to indicate middle school. I might get a chance real soon to do some camp games (with evaluaters) involving high school girls. Should be great experience.

One more thing a little off the shoe topic. I wear glasses for night driving and distance. I can see well within the confines of a b-ball court without them but the scoreboard is a little hazy sometimes, I guess I'd rather have them on than not. However, I notice the "image" thing these days is to work with contacts/no glasses at all. What's the feeling these days about that? I'm sure my sight will only get worse and I hate the thought of wearing contacts.

The image thing is not to wear glasses, although I know successful officials who wear glasses at HS level, it leaves you open to potshots from the fans.

I personally wear contacts, I wear them all the time so its not an issue. But if you hate the thought of wearing contacts why don't you wear them just for basketball. I know of an official who wears glasses all the time except for when he's on the court.
