Glad I only have to wear them and don't have to look at them. The soles look dorky to me, like I should be doing some kind of MJ (the singer, not the player) moonwalk strut or something--like Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly as Clint Eastwood did in that old west bar scene in the third Back to the Future movie.
But they sure are comfy.

I wasn't really looking for new shoes, but came across these at the local Reebok outlet tonight. Based on what I've read here, and the feedback from a couple of local guys that wear them, i decided to spend the $79 and give them a shot. Consistent with some of the other comments, I needed a half size larger than usual.

I will give them a try tomorrow night. I'm curious about other people's experience "breaking them in". I think I will also pack my current shoes so I can change at halftime if need be.

Love mine, have worn them all season, most comfortable officiating shoe I've ever worn. Only problem was a piece of the sole near the toe that is glued in came loose. I used shoe epoxy to fix it and have had no problems since. I would have sent them back for a replacement pair but was afraid my size would be out of stock.

Do they come in regular or only the patent leather?

The Reebok outlet store I was in last night had them in black patent leather (which I bought) and also an all black leather and mesh combination that looks like a more traditional running shoe.

I mentioned to the kid at the store that I was a basketball official, and he commented that word travels fast amongst "us"! He said 9 out of 10 people that he had sold the black patents too were referees. Kind of makes sense - I'm not sure I would have bought black patent for everyday wear!

He also tried to sell me a shoe cream to use to buff them to an even higher shine that he said alot of guys are using. Anyone have any experience doing this?

Do they need more shine...as it is no one in the stands can focus on me because of the high reflective nature of these shoes. All the fan complaints and comments now get hurled at my partners.

You can get Zigs in other combinations that don't include patent.
