Need Shoe Advice

[Back In The Saddle]

Because basketball officiating fashion is most often a game of follow the leaders?

I bought some New Balance 608's last year then bought the Reebok "Ref" patents midway through the season. There is no comparison....the Reeboks feel like heaven compared to the NB's.

I plan on getting the new Reeboks from Honigs later in the season. Maybe a Christmas present to myself.

For those who are interested, here's a link to where you can get the Reebok "Ref" shoes for 30 bucks plus shipping. They are not the patent's, but it's the only place I have found official shoes that are this good for this price.

Please note that you have to be a club member to get them for $30. It costs another $30 to be a member.

I use the Reebok Ref, both patent and plain, rotating them each game / series of games. Being honest, the plain ones hold a smooth, non glare, shine better than the patent.

I have used Nike in the past (never again) and also Adidas (again never again). FIBA also give me Champion - may look the part but with a few insoles maybe I could manage a quarter - so hard that I would rather use the box they come in!

I just like the look and feel of the Reebok, they just feel good on my feet at the time, never any problem.
