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.

Mine arrived today - very nice. Comfortable and much lighter than I'm used to. Ordered a half size large and the orthodic inserts fit fine. Ready to try them on the court next weekend! Hoping for the best!!

Nike
I just purchased NIKE Tailwind +4 from Finishline....Used them last weekend doing 4 Varsity Pre-Season games and they felt great. The shoes were recommended to me by a PAC 12 Official.

With any shoes..to each is own..get what works for you

I am itching to get these, but I just got a new pair of Nike Air Max TL5's last year that don't have a lot of mileage on them. May have to wait until I get a few game checks.

shoes
I did see them available in a sporting goods store in St Louis. Johnny Mac is the name. Tried them on. They fit nice and are light. I had to go 1/2 size larger. They were $99. So I bought them on line at Finish line. Thanks for the promo code. Paid just under $80. Can't wait for them to arrive.

In my experience, they're too warm (patent, in general). I see I'm not the only person who feels that way.

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.
