New shoes

[tjones1]

I've been wearing the Shox all season and love them. I'm thinking about buying a second pair. Which NB are you looking at - 888s?

Just breaking in my Reebok breezys, patent leather. Damn, I look good.

Grunewar, did you bother to look at where Smitty is from? He has a lot of knowledge on this subject.

Shoes are often debated, but I don't think a lot of people understand what they are buying. Everyone has different needs for their feet. YMMV

Before this season, I would always switch shoes every couple of games, but I wear the Stoudamire IIs or something like that. They have Air Max 360 soles and are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. That is what is working for me right now and going back to other Nikes or NB shoes isn't feeling good.

I just recently bought Nike Shox Deliver and love them to death. They are, in my opinion, very comfortable. Oh yeah, I bought them online at Finishline.com for $119.

The thing about Shox in my experience is that not all Shox are created equal. Some have really torn my legs up, but the pair I'm wearing this year I love so much that I bought a second pair in Finish Line last weekend when I saw them on sale for $89 (first time I've ever bought an identical pair of shoes to ref in). Mine this year look roughly like this, but where you see the white is instead black mesh and the heel area where the actual 'shox' are is black. There is a little bit of silver trim here and there. I've gotten a number of compliments from fellow officials and fans, but have never seen them online, only in the store.

Ha Ha. Turns out I've given up on the patents. Sure did like the looks of them, but I've went back to leather and shining before every game.

Thanks for talking me out of the patents. Wasn't sure where I'd find the alligator print anyway! Actually, I remembered that I have a brand new pair of NB 608s that I'd forgotten about. May give them a try, but my Nikes still have at least one maybe 2 more seasons in them.
