Exclamation Thanks Smitty,
Smitty, Thanks for bringing that point up. I didn't think to look at the Positives and Negatives to having running shoes vs. Court Shoes. I was thinking of the comfort of the bottom of my feet. I assume you vote for Court Shoes, Wondered if anyone uses running shoes to Officiate Basketball......thanks again for the [email protected]

Something I do is if I'm doing several games I never do more than 2 games in the same shoes. I always have 2 pairs with me, find a couple of pairs you like, put them both in your bag and change shoes and socks every couple of games...your feet will thank you.

Thanks, Jay. I have loved every pair of New Balance I have ever owned. But they quit making my current shoe. I will be trying this one!

BITS, I'm not promoting the shoe. It's just I'm looking for shoes for next season and I was wondering if anyone had comments about these new NB.

What do you expect from somebody who doesn't know his libero from a hole in the ground?

I have those. Not my favorite but they do shine nice. They feel heavy to me. Also they run narrow.

Hey I thought I read somewhere that the Nike Shox was a good shoe. What does everyone think? Has anyone tried them for officiating?

Mregor, give them another try. They come in 4E widths, which I really need. I have very fat feet, but they are soooo comfortable.
