Now my feet didnt hurt at all with these shoes but my right knee for some reason started to hurt more and more as my season drew to a close. I have been talking to some other officials during my playoff run ask me how I like my shoes and I tell them that I really like them but my right knee has been hurting. Here is where it get's kinda funny, their reply is that they have the same issue with the shoes or know of someone with the same issue as me, and that is the right knee hurting.

Now call it a coincedence or not, I just wanted to throw out a question to those who my have them here and see if any of you have had any issues with them. Not sure at this time if I would get another pair or not. I just finished this past Friday night so some time off will hopefully take care of my sore knee.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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



I got these... ZigActivate in all 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.
