I'm planning on getting a pair of the patent ones in time for camp this summer. Sounds like I should go up a size as well.

My guess is your knee issue is unrelated. I'd have a doctor look at it.

Everyone in our association who has these shoes raves about them. I've never worn a better shoe, nor had less leg and foot pain thatn I've had this year.

Me too.

Just a FYI, I went a half size up which did the trick. Hopefully, you'll be able to try them on.

Well if these fit like their field turf shoes do I will probably need to go a full size.

I got the patent leather Zigs right after Christmas and wore them in every game until the end of the season. I love them and they fit me perfectly. I wear a 13 in every other shoe as well as this one.

I went up a half-size cause my feet are usually EE. I wore my Zigs for all of my games this season and have had the least amount of feet issues I've had in years.

I had one problem with the patent Zigs. After just two games, the "pattern thing" on the sole came loose. (I don't know how else to explain it...but it is like a jigsaw puzzle piece that fits into the waffle part of the sole).

I called the retailer...and he said it was the second complaint he had out of 300+ pairs sold. Had my local cobbler glue it back. I thought it was a design defect...but he said it was just poorly made. No problems since I got them fixed.

At the time (early January), I could not find another one in my size in the U.S. Reebok offered to replace them with a "comparable pair," which turned out to be one of equal money value, not the patent leather ref model. Retailer offered by money back...but I wanted to keep the shoe.

I bought 1/2 size larger...and since this fix...have been thrilled with them.

I have actually had the same thing happen on my other pair of Zigs that I have been wearing for about a year now in everyday use. It is a little insert on the bottom of the shoe that comes unglued.

Great shoe.

RookieDude Wed Feb 29, 2012 10:20am

I was just commenting to a fellow official that I did not have a "back issue" this year. Maybe it was because of my zigs...who knows...but, I do know I did not have any issues with back pain or leg pain as I have in past years.

Great shoe!

+1 They have helped my shin splints as well. I'm buying another pair before camp this summer.

Best shoes I have ever worn in 30+ years. I was afraid after having knee surgery in Sept that I would not be ready for games at the end of October, I wore the Zigs to rehab and never had a lick of pain. I wear a pair for officiating as well.

When the suppliers get all their back orders in I am hoping there will be enough left to send me a new pair.

BubbaRef Thu Mar 01, 2012 04:49pm

Thanks for the reply's guys. Must just have been a fluke thing. I really like the shoes and will probably get a back up pair when they are back in stock.

M&M I am still faster than you are. LOL Havent seen you in awhile, hope all is well.

A half size up was enough for me as well.

Foot Locker has half sizes up to a 14.5 when they have them in stock.
