My Zigs are my most comfortable shoes. I wear them for my college games and up-tempo high school games. I will also wear them for my post-season HS games. I wear high top New Balance 889 for the rest of my HS games.

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.

I believe in shoe rotation, too. I rotate between 2 pair of Zigs.

I have Zig plate shoes for basketball, Zig base shoes, and Zig shoes for football, too.

Really? I can't imagine that being very comfortable.

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.

I wear Schechers composite toe safety tennis shoes for work. 12 hours shift on concrete and the shoes really help. They are light and I think come in black so you could use for football.

Plate shoes for basketball? dang you mut have some rough games!! All kidding aside, did your plate shoes fit the same as your other zigs? I want to buy some plates online and am wondering.

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?

I'll take a stab at it...
Cuz you want to deduct 200.00 from your taxes next year instead of 170.00

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?

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

*sigh*

I know.

That's why I asked if you thought it could be removed/cutoff without totally screwing up the shoe. I've never seen a pair, so I though I would ask someone who has.
