Reebok Zig Energy Shoes

Thanks for the input

I have used multiple pairs for road races 5K/10K and worn them for summer league. They are by far the best pair of pure running shoes I have ever worn. They blow the Nike Air away in comfort and cushioning.

I used a pair last year and they were comfortable and held up really well.

Only caution is be careful when making a sudden change in direction. The soles have a slightly rounded edge and if you don't plant square or flat you may roll over on your ankle.

New Balance seems to fit my wider foot better than the running shoes like Nike or Asics, but these Reebok's wrap around my foot really nice. I noticed they have a mid-cut basketball shoe as well. Might provide a little more ankle support.

This is what I was wanting to hear. I love my Nike Air Max. Actually, my feet are in love with them. Best pair of shoes I've ever worn.

But, if the Reebok Zigs are even more comfortable.....it's worth a shot. The 2011 and 2012 Air Max's, that I've been able to find online, are all meshy and don't look like they'd be good for officiating anyway.

Plus, Smitteez has the Zigs for 95.99. 2012 Air Max = 159.99.

Just ordered a pair of black patent zigs on eastbay...99.95 with FREE shipping.

Hope they work out...I'm trusting your reviews.

As a sworn Nike Air person for years, I was hesitant on changing myself....you won't be sorry...

Anyone tried the reebok zig's who also wears orthotic inserts??

If so I'm curious to see how they work and feel.

I like my Air Max's too. Picked up a pair of Black 2010 Air Max from Foot Locker just the other day Got lucky they had them. Also you can find them on EBay too.

I ordered my Zigs from Foot Locker on Tuesday and expect them next Tuesday. Like grunewar, I ordered my 1/2 size larger, since they come in half sizes but not in wider widths. Also, Foot Locker and East Bay were both running $20 off $99 or more purchases.So I got them for 79.99 plus tax and shipping. $88. Plus, they're easier to return to Foot Locker than to a mail order officiating vendor.

Have you worn the Zigs? For some reason, you were the last person I'd expect to wear these.

I've thought about trying them a half-size up, like you. I normally buy EE shoes from New Balance.

Okay. Not sure why.

I like New Balance for the wide widths. I've also have Reeboks that are wides.

Can't tolerate Nike. They're terrible for my feet.
