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.

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?

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

I am interested as well. I have the patents and really like them, but I also like to match with my crew (plain leather vs patent leather) so I would buy another pair. I have 2-3 pair of Air Max's but find the Zigs more comfortable (and significantly cheaper).

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.
