Got some Zigs....had them for 2 weeks and have run 9 games in them.



I got these... ZigActivate in all black ...
Reebok ZigActivate - Men's - Running - Shoes - Black


I like them. They're light, comfortable, and have good arch support. They may be a tiny bit smaller than some 11.5's (my normal size) but not enough to make me swap for the 12.

They're a keeper!

Just ordered mine through Honigs. Paid a little more, but I'm sure it's worth it. Got the patent leathers. Camps start next month!

Referees Call just sent my Zig Energy Ref's to me. $84.95 + shipping. Still much cheaper than the $149.00 + shipping from Honigs Canada.

Ordered a pair of Zigs from Flemings (Fleming's Referee & Sport : The Source for Game Officials and Umpires Equipment and Uniforms) for 89.99 with free shipping. Had to call because website ordering is not working, but the dude on the phone was great.

Referee's Call website is showing Out of Stock...

I was a Nike guy too, but the Zigs are way more comfortable than any Nike's I've ever worn. I was skeptical and I hate the way the outsole looks, but try them on - you'll be a believer.

Yes they are doing their back orders first then will put what they have left on the website. Again it's call to order.

For me it's finding someone to ship to canada that was the issue.

I rec'd my shoes from Referees Call Yesterday. No Duty or extra taxes. All I had to pay was the $18.00 for shipping on top of the $84 for the shoes. Still a way better than paying $149 in Canada for the same shoes.

How did you smuggle them across without duty? I just got a pair of new balance umpire shoes and new mask from ump-attire. I had to pay 40 bucks in tax and duty on top of the shipping.

Ask them to ship them as a gift and send the invoice separately. You still pay the same in shipping.

If the items you are buying are American made you shouldn't have to pay Duty on them anyway, just the extra Provincial and Federal taxes as applicable.
