Shoes for Football

[Storm13]

What shoes do you guys wear for football officiating?  This will be my first year doing football and would love to hear your recommendations.

A lot of guys seem to be buying the UA Ultimate Trainer turf shoe, but I tried it and found the heel drop to be too excessive and flat for me. I went with the UA Deception Trainer, but the tread isn't quite as aggressive as I'd like for grass, especially some of the poorer fields I may see. The NB baseball shoes are very good as well, no reason they can't do dual purpose. I have a pair of Adidas Turf Hogs, but they bend so easily that sometimes I get a mild case of turf toe with them. And they're hard to clean with mesh and a weird matte finish leather/pleather.

Honestly, whatever you're using for base shoes will probably work just as well.

When I worked football I just used my NB shoes.

I agree.
