I think all patent leather shoes look horrible. But that is just my opinion. Maybe I will bring myself to try a pair of them one day, but I don't know. I actually have two pairs of zigs (other colors for non-officiating activities) in the closet right now. 99.99% of the time that is exactly where they stay too...in the closet. Maybe the zigs officials wear are different even though they look the same or maybe that shoe just isn't very comfortable for me.

The ones that have bought them and keep buying them at sufficient numbers to keep them from being discontinued.

Smile Nb

best shoes i've had were NB621 & 622 & 888, not 623. 623 is narrow and i can't say that it has enough support. a couple of years ago i tried Reebok "the Ref" patent leather and it was actually really good. now i just wanted to know if Rbk Breezy is good or not - i have a neutral arch, no pronation and medium-width foot.

I also love the reebok zigs. I have chronic ankle pain, and the zigs have taken most of the pain away. They sure are shiny!

I wore my Zigs for a real game last week for the first time in a while. Really felt good running on them opposed to the shoes I had been wearing in scrimmages.
