Reebok Zig Energy Shoes

[Mrcrash3]

I see that reebok is offering this shoe for officiating (all black patent leather)
with the zig sole. Has anyone had any experience with this shoe for basketball, or running?

I had a black pair last year that wasnt patent. confortable yes. Dont mind the look. Hate you cant shine them. Having said that....hate patent too so, Im headed back to NB I thnk

I talked to everyone that I saw wearing them last year, officials and players. The feedback was all positive. I ordered a pair of all black in the spring. They have some patent, but it's mostly the mesh, which as Larks said can't be shined. Anxious to get them in the gym.

I used a pair last season. They were kind of suede-like, so shining wasn't an option. I thought they were comfortable, however they only came in medium width. Not the worst pair I've ever had, but not the best either.

I got the all-patent referee model earlier this month and have worked one day in them - so far so good. I'm curious to see how the patent leather holds up during the season. But during my limited tests, the shoes are comfortable, and they look sharp.

This is why I'm hesitant. I'm going to a local store and try on a pair to see if they're ok, before I order a pair online.

Thanks for the input

I got the Rebook Zig Shoes this year that is Patent Leather and shiny. They are very nice shoes. I have inserts I am supposed to wear for plantar issues, but the zig shoes I don't have to wear them because the support in them are excellent. I used them already this year and they are worth the money and they look really sharp.

You can order them from the Finish Line and they have the cheapest Prices I have seen so far. Right now they are running $79.98 and they ship pretyt fast, when I ordered mine back in October I had them within 5 days with just regular ground shipping.

Yes, those are the same ones we've been discussing.

Wore mine for the first time last night. Great looking shoe and they were excellent comfort wise. Couldn't recommend enough. Great shoe.

[BktBallRef]

Agreed. Wore mine today and they felt great. Even had a couple of kids on the front row comment on them.

They don't have them in any of the stores I tried. You can try the regular Zigs and see how they fit. But I can tell you that if you normally wear a wide, you may want to order them a half size larger. I did and it worked out great.

Agreed, I went up a size as well. Tried them out in games first time today, generally like the shoes, though they did feel just a touch slick on the hardwood. Maybe just need a little breaking in. I think I'm going to throw in some gel sport inserts for a bit more cushiness.

Update to my last post about Rezigs.

Still love the look, feel and are very comfortable. But I wore them for 3 games and went to put them on last night and they are coming apart. Left side seam on one shoe came apart in a 3 inch gap. Hopefully not a tell-tale sign.

Sending back for a new pair we'll see how this pair works.
