Recommand the Patent Leather Kicks

[Luis]

I'm keen to buy a pair of patent leather basketball referee shoes and need some recommendation.

I've tried BB623BK but with not much satisfactory... asked about the Pentagon but no one recommended. I know Rbk Zigs is a good option but any good-rated pairs besides that?

[JRutledge]

I am not a fan (anymore) of patient leather shoes. But I did buy the Zigs this year and love them. I will be wearing them a good part of the season. The other shoes look like crap and probably feel like that too based on what I have heard.

Peace

I have a new pair of the 623's. I've only worn them once so far, but I like them. They're light but provide me with the support that I need.

Anyone tried Rbk Breezy patent leather? how'd size go? If I wear 8.5 in Nike or New Balance, what should I wear for Rbk Breezy?

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.

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.

There are a lot of people who think it looks great.

Who are these "A lot of people" you speak of?

We should commission a working group to establish a committee to build a poll.

Please let us not have a whizzing match over the perceived ugliness - or not - of a particular shoe.
