This is the same shoe I am using. I love them. I found out early in the summer the shoes were being discontinued during the summer, so I bought another pair. This is one of the lightest and most comfortable shoes I have ever refereed in.

What about the best way to shine your shoes and get them nice a bright?

What's the best product out there?

I personally like the Kiwi Leather Cuir, "Premiere Shine Ultra-Brillant." I have some shoes that have a little white or gray on them so I will use the neutral color for those shoes. This seems to work the best for me. I guess I will have to reference what everyone does across the country or what the NF had requires. Sorry if that is a personal preference and I do not consider what everyone does across the country.

Peace

I am using the New Balance 888. This is a really nice comfortable shoe.

I have used Leather Luster in the past. Takes a while to apply the first time, but then you're done.

THis year, I tried Shape-Up (or maybe it's Shine Up?). Easier to apply than LL, but doesn't seem to be holding up as well. The jury is still out.

Is this shoe leather on the outside? It looks like its suade or something similar. Are you able to shine it up? It's a good price online so I was thinking of getting them but they only have Mustang Brown/Gold and a grey one.

That is the exact shoe style but it is not the exact shoe. The shoe I have was a Finish Line exclusive that I own and it is all leather.

It is actually a synthetic leather and is harder to shine than traditional leather, but like Jeff said, it is a great shoe. I have another pair still in the box, but will have to find a new style to wear.

Most shoes nowadays are synthetic and that is not a major issue. And if you use many shining techniques, you can still have a great shine.

Problem with official's shirt: How do you keep your shirt tucked in properly if you are wearing a compression shirt underneath ... any ideas?

I use the military garders (spelling??), They attach to the shirt and then loop around your feet. You can adjust them to keep your shirt nice and tight.

Mine just stays tucked in.

Some use the "flex belt." Most "sansabelt" type pants have a rubber insert on the waistband.

If your shirt and pants fit properly, it won't come out from normal officiating activities.
