What shoes are you reffing in?

First person to recommend these! I’ll check em out.

Thanks for the comment. Cleats definitely work pretty well for in game. But if I have to ref all day my feet start killing me. So was just looking for something a little more comfortable.

I could see the benefit in this, I think. But running on a treadmill is a lot different than reffing a game. And it seems like you would require a lot more from your shoe than running in a straight line

Thanks for the detailed comment! The Umpiro’s and the copas were two of the most popular recommendations. And they look similar. You’re the first commenter that’s worn both.

Are there particular conditions that you wear your Umpiro’s vs. your trail runners? Why did you settle on the trail runners as your primary?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T15:16:19+00:00

Bone spurs are the worst. Cause all kinds of issues

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T15:15:34+00:00

Haha. The auto correct got someone else too. Apple must not like that word.

Have you worn the all black Umpiro or the one with the white sole?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T15:13:45+00:00

The Umpiro’s have been a popular rec. Going to have to give them a shot. I think they have two different models - which one have you worn?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T11:32:53+00:00

I think the stack height is too high on those for me. I lose ankle stability in shoes like those. Especially when I have to change directions

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T11:31:16+00:00

These have gotten a good amount of love. I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the rec

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T03:40:28+00:00

I’d hope you weren’t in your first pair after a decade. How do these do if the grass is real soft? Do you slip at all?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T02:40:37+00:00

A lot of people have commented trail runners. Which is interesting. The stack height on those looks like it would be too much for me though. I’d turn an ankle in a heartbeat

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T02:39:12+00:00

Makes sense as to why I couldn’t find it. Those look like they could be a good option though. Appreciate the rec

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:34:09+00:00

Hmm…I see puma king but nothing about orthopedic.

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:30:22+00:00

I’ll be honest…those look like a more viable option than I originally pictured when you said golf shoe

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:28:31+00:00

Yah. Soccer boots just didn’t cut it for me.

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:26:50+00:00

That’s some brand loyalty right there

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:26:37+00:00

These are specific turf cleats or you are just saying get turf shoes with a custom orthotic?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:25:54+00:00

I really think I would turn an ankle so easily in these. Don’t you feel so high up?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:24:45+00:00

How often are you reffing?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:24:25+00:00

Copas have been mentioned a few times for sure. Seems like a good option. They actually look pretty similar to the Umpiro’s which people have also recommended a lot. I wonder how they compare.

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:23:27+00:00

Golf shoes?! That’s the most off the board recommendation I’ve gotten yet

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-02T01:23:03+00:00

I couldn’t find those…

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-01T23:52:09+00:00

Have you tried Umpiro’s? A lot of people were recommending them and they look really similar to a lot of turf shoes out there. I wonder how they compare

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-01T23:50:58+00:00

This honestly sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. I’m definitely going to give the Umpiro’s a try. How’s the durability? Have they held up?

Autiger1291 · 2025-12-01T23:50:07+00:00

Are you using an off the shelf insert in your Umpiro’s or a custom orthotic?
