If you do a Google search on them a pair of clown shoes pops up. Hmmmm, wonder who would be responsible for that?

My foot doctor recommends New Balance provided the number is over 600. I have had four pair of these and they have been great. Foot issues for me are a thing of the past.

See Ultimate Patent Leather Basketball Referee Shoes: Ump Attire

I've had these and they've been great. Among the best fitting and most comfortable shoes I've used. Of course, that largely depends on the shape of your foot, but they're worth a look.

I've worn the Official's Footwear the last 3 years and cannot say enough good things about them. Everyone has their preference, of course, but I'm satisfied with their look and feel.

I happen to know the guy who designs, owns, and distributes these shoes. I've owned 4 pairs of the shoes and really like the feel and support. Also like the internals that keep the tongue from shifting around, lines up in the middle every time.

Highly recommend!

That shoe looks ugly BTW. It might be comfortable, but it looks bad.

Peace
