I have the Zig Activate. I like them for walking and even jogging but NOT refereeing. They don't have very good lateral support and were causing my knees to hurt as they had to compensate for the lack of lateral support when I would turn and change directions. I switched back to my other shoes and my knees stopped hurting after games.

Again, they feel great until I worked a few games in them. I want to try the Energy model though. I've seen them and they do appear to have a lot more lateral support. Their construction should be more suitable to refereeing.

Best shoes on the market for officiating. When you find them buy 2 - 3 pairs. They sell out quick...

Got my newest pair for $85.00 plus tax from a different source.

Got them for $70 & free shipping on Amazon in the fall of 2011.

Just got a pair from Purchase Officials. Every one in my association says they're the best they've ever had. I will soon find out.
