I hate you and your normal sized feet. My duck feet can't fit into Zigs at all, so I'm stuck with NB plate shoes for a pro level shoe.

The way you mentioned the shoes with a CCA jacket after the conversation about some CCA jacket people big-timing their partners made me wonder if the shiny Zigs in an AAU setting would be sort of faux pax.
You would not be out of place wearing patent Zigs here. I've had partners at all levels wear them, they are a very popular shoe here. I wanted a pair until I tried them on.

In the off-season I like to rotate my shoes, especially when working multiple games over a weekend. I do the same thing in camp.

I have a pair of low top New Balances that are also comfortable but not very stylish that I keep in my trunk. I wear them for scrimmages and low profile off-season stuff.

Because I don't work as many games as most folks and because I rotate my shoes I have 3 pair of serviceable shoes that I can wear anytime.
C'mon BNR you got to be kidding.....


Yow wear your Zigs when it is going to be full ct man to man ball pressure up and down the court and then when you have a bunch of suburban girls that sit in a zone and don't press you wear your NB's ??????

What are you going to wear the next couple months at your 2nd home (BWSC) ??????

Fortunately for my wallet I did not work a single girls game this season.

My first girls games for 2012-13 season will come next month when the Nike Girls AAU comes to town. And I will be wearing my Zigs because Niele Ivy and few other hot assistant coaches will be in town for that.

Yes, fit like a glove. I got the all black low tops. I may get to wear them by May, the way things are going.

I just bought 2 pairs of basketball Zigs (just ordered a minute ago), size 10.5 (1/2 size up from my normal shoe -- they run a bit narrow). Honig's has them for $100/pair. Can anyone tell me why I'd choose to spend with them when Purchase has them for $85?

No, why? I need a 13.5 but Hongs doesn't have it, Purchase does.

Did you see my question at the bottom of the first page?

I would like a steel toed shoe for football (umpire). Do you think the instep guard could be permanently removed without screwing up the shoe?
Someone (I forget who) makes a plate shoe with a removable metarsal guard. That might work for you.

Sorry, missed it -- the plate isn't removable on the Zig plate shoe without some surgery.

Don't Be A Shoemaker ???

Thanks BLydic. It was fun to make, but the $130.00 price tag is kind of steep.
