adidas Barricade 13 Mens Clay Tennis Shoe

Bought these after trying out the new asics resolution shoe and these fit so much better and feel more secure. They feel great now that I've worn them a few times too.

Made the switch because I'm not a fan of the new footbed on the Gel Res. So far loving the shoe. Break-in was quick and painless, I feel very secure on the court from day 1 (I slipped a couple of times when the gel resolutions were new). However, with just three weeks of play and just one competitive tournament, the laces broke in half. There was no fraying or warning sign, just a snap. Would buy again, but wither replace laces or keep spares in your bag.

I have been wearing Barricades for over 10 years. The new design is awful. Please go back to the Classic style, with straight laces and plenty of room in the toe box. This new design has destroyed my feet. I will not buy Adidas again until they offer the original design.

First off thank you to Adidas for re-launching the Barricade shoe line. I proudly owned the first iteration. Since then many of the new and improved models; and found this pair of 13 is the best by far. From the fit to the style I'm recommending this shoe...

The shoe doesn't take too long to break into. I recommend looking at the millimeter measurement and going 5mm above your measured foot size. Plays well with orthotics but doesn't require them to feel comfortable.
