Blue Suede Shoes.
I won't go into the particulars but I attended an OhioHSAA Tournament game tonight and the U1 and U2 wore patent leather shoes, BUT the R wore, I kid you not, BLACK SUEDE SHOES!

Did it happen to be the Coffman game? I was planning on heading to the Fairgrounds today but had to finish off my year. It would have been worth it for a good laugh at this.

Elvis has left the auditorium, and I guess his blue suede shoes turned black!

I have a pair of Nike AirMax's that are mostly suede that I wore up until the start of this season. I've seen others wear them, including college officials. They look fine.

They do NOT look fine. One's officiating shoes should have a nice shine. I absolutely abhor patent leather officiating shoes, but I would rather this official had wore patent leather than suede.

Times are changing. I shine up my shoes, but I'm in favor of whatever black shoes fit comfortably for the official.
