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.

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.

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.
