Does a Sharpie marker work best at coloring over the white or grey?

I was always a "black only" shoe guy until my all black shoes led me down the path to foot surgery. Now I am a "wear what works for your feet and amke them as plack as possible" guy. The shoes I wear are 98% black and I can't get color to stay on the other 2%.

Someone said something about it after I had changed to the new shoes and I told them that as soon as they paid to fix my feet, they could have a say in what I wore. Nothing has ever been said to me about it again.

Once again, do what the local association wants.

I'm somewhat the same way - I was an all-black shoes guy until last year when I finally decided I just couldn't do 4+ nights a week without more support (I've got fallen arches and am a significant pronator) and the officiating-specific shoes out there just don't have what I need.

So, I have an all-black, patent leather pair for varsity games, and another pair of mostly black running shoes specific for my feet that I wear any sub-V games. I wouldn't hesitate to wear them for V games either, but they've got a mesh look to them that just doesn't look so good. But my feet sure like them.

I'm pretty certain my current shoes have contributed to the running injuries I experienced after my last couple sets of games. So I'm looking for a better shoe. Your response to the challenge on this makes sense. But I don't know if I have the chops or the street cred to get away with it. ;)

I think Greg is a reasonable guy and buys the logic. Do what you need to do...
