Not as cheap, but I saw Honigs has them. Their website really didn't address shipping policy

I like em!

Bought a pair based upon comments here. Wore them for the first time tonight in a double header. Loved the shoes...although I do agree that they felt warm. Best shoe I've had to date!

Hence why many of us come to the Forum - to learn something or get a tip.

I never thought about this. However, I will for my two scrimmages this weekend.

So far I'd agree.

My 2nd game with the Zigs and my legs did not seem as tired. I can deal with them being a little warm. I sweat in any shoes.
I will buy a second pair when these wear out.

Just received mine and plan on using them for the first time this Saturday. Just curious, based on just looking at them is the grip as good as flat soled shoes to the court?

Thinking of getting them siped?

I have used mine a couple of times now and the grip seems fine. When I first received mine I had questions about the sole - they seemed more like platsic than rubber. So far they have exceeded all expectations.

That was my observation as well. Some guys in our association wore them last year and did not express concern but I like to get the opinion of this group.

I'm wearing my pair now.

I'm not sure -- they're a bit more snug than I'm used to, I have to admit. They seem very comfortable, though.

I was on the elliptical in them for a bit and my feet hurt. Of course, I use running shoes on the elliptical and different shoes on the court (usually a cross-trainer type with heel lifts.) so that means nothing. I'm not sure stepping up 1/2 size would do a whole lot.

I guess I'll try them in a scrimmage tonight.

Just ordered a pair on Amazon.com. Finish Line had them for 79.99 free shipping but were out of my size. Went on Amazon and got them for $99.99 free shipping but then got an instant $30 discount by applying for a credit card. So $69.99 and free shipping. Not a bad deal at all.

Well, after three scrimmages I must admit, I find them a bit warm, but not to the point of discomfort or anything I really notice during the game. No issue with slippage on several different floors. As I've said before, so far, I'm a fan.

The only difference I noticed is this. With the flat bottoms I wore last year, if some water got on the floor during a timeout, I could step in it and get the squeak back in my soles. You know, clean the dust off.

Can't do that with the Zigs.

Does that make sense?

They were incredibly comfortable. Keepers. To the point where I'll probably order another pair.

Purchase Officials have them for $84.99. Shipping isn't free, though. I'll check Finish Line.

Yes. Of course, I just licked my hands and rubbed them over the soles, one zig at a time.

Does it make me a prima donna when I get annoyed that there's no "Slip Not" by the table?

It's an idiosyncrasy.
