When I mentioned this to my wife she said, "You've gotta be kidding...who notices a referee's shoes? She doesn't get it, does she!!!!!:

I watch quite a bit of basketball and am always checking out the shoes that the officials are wearing...some may say that I've got a shoe fettish! I've seen that the number of shoes that have noticeable white and silver color is increasing. It doesn't matter if it's high school, D III, D II, or D I on TV....I notice that more and more are wearing shoes that ARE NOT all black....does it take away from their ability to call the game, No Way.
