Adidas a3 Accelerator Men's Shoes Wh/Slvr/Bk Customer feedback
Comments: I've got to say that this shoes feel with overall stiffness and always have minor discomfort when I use them. They feel too heavy for my taste.
Comments: This is a great shoe and is good to walk and run in.
Comments: I haven't been using these shoes much, but it's been 2 months since I bought them and they already have holes on the inner sides on each pair since it has no protection at all on these parts of the shoes.
Comments: Great shoe: comfortable and stable. Not quite as durable as I would have expected with the Adiwear 6 month guarantee. I wore the outsoles out in about 2 months. I play a couple of times a week. But I sent them into adidas and they replaced them, I just had to pay for shipping. One minor thing, however, I sent in my orange, shoes and they sent me an all white pair of a3 accelerators. rather geriatric looking in my opinion. But great shoe overall, I prefer them even to the Barricade IIIs, my previous shoe.
Comments: Hate these shoes. I rolled both of my ankles due to the hard plastic midsole.
Comments: I had these shoes bought by my friend from US. They're great shoes! My knees don't hurt any more after a long game! I will buy again.
Comments: Great shoe, very comfortable, great look. May be hard to break in at first but after that you'll love them.
Comments: These shoes are very comfortable and have great arch support. On the other hand, these shoes are not durable at all. I played 5 hours a day for 10 days, and the outsole was already very worn out. Many parts of the sole were only all blue plastic. The rubber was completely worn out on the outsole and the plastic bounce things [look like nike shox] were getting destroyed. These look great and feel great, but if you're looking for something durable, I would suggest the Adidas Barricade IV or V.
Comments: These are no doubt very durable shoes. However, I'd recommend them only if you can put up with the overall stiffness, minor discomfort, and lack of support around the achilles tendon. Definitely a great looking shoe, though.
Comments: I love these. My left foot (and only my left foot) slides around a little bit inside the shoe, but it is not anything that keeps me from sprinting after the ball. I don't know if this is some kind of defect or if my left foot is just a little narrower than my right foot. Great arch support. I don't think it could suit me any better. With all the ventilation holes, you would think these shoes would vent a little better than they do. Not "cushy" comfortable (like to the point where you feel absorbed by your shoes), but I wouldn't like them if they were. I wish Adidas would make a hybrid of the ClimaCool Feather and the a3 Accelerator, since they have similar design concepts. I think it would end up being a pretty awesome shoe.
Comments: Of all of the shoes that I've worn these are probably the worst. After about a month, they have lost all of their cushioning. In my opinion, a horrible shoe. On the upside they look really cool.
Comments: These shoes were a bit stiff out of the box, but after break in the are extremely comfy. At first I experienced a bit of my foot sliding around in the shoe, but that stopped after about a week. They have a great low-to-the-ground feel yet still have great traction and durability. The inside of the sole has worn out just a bit, but I regularly play on dusty courts at schools. Overall a great buy, especially with the 6 month guarantee!
Comments: I bought these shoes from TW and have worn them four times on the court. The lateral arches are extremely high and stiff, and I could hardly walk after a 3-hour match. I dread wearing them and have resurrected my old stand-by. I will try these again in time to see if I'll be able to break them in before my feet explode.
Comments: Do not be misled by the aesthetics of this shoe. My black pair is just a few months old, and already I've sprained both my ankles 3 weeks apart. I cannot directly attribute this to the shoe, but the Barricade I had previous to this never led to any sprains, given the same playing conditions and frequency. The shoes are not easy doing lateral movements during some volleys. Worse, some parts are already worn out given the short time I was using them. Another thing you may want to consider is that some courts do not allow tennis shoes with black heels.
Comments: I had the shoe for about four months, and the stitching fell apart really fast.
Comments: They look good on the outside and feel great, but they didn't last long. If you slide your toe at all, you will wear down the stitching, which will open up the top of the shoe. The Barricade IVs are much better shoes.
Comments: These shoes were pretty stiff out of the box, and the arch is pretty high for my flat feet.They were uncomfortable for the first couple of days, but after walking around campus in them for a while, they broke in nicely. I suppose this shoe would fit better for people with medium/high arches, but I love them now. Great stability and traction. Durability looks pretty good after 3 weeks and the 6-month guarantee is great. Weight is nice, lighter than barricades. Cushioning is a little firmer in the heel compared to Barricades or Nike Breathe Free IIs, but doesn't take away anything from the shoe. Forefoot cushioning is top notch. Looks wise, the black/silver version looks sick. I've never gotten so many compliments on shoes. I give them a 9/10, reason being I think they would've been perfect with softer cushioning in the heel like Nike Breathe Free IIs. Awesome shoe, Adidas!
Comments: I purchased my pair in November 2007 and now am seeing the wear on the outsoles. The interior is still providing cushion, but the support is almost all gone. I am on the court with my shoes 5-6 days a week. I feel like there is minimal stability around the heel, which leads to a feeling of weakness around the ankles. I liked the way these felt and wore the first two months, but in my humble opinion they are not as durable as the Barricade but better than the Nike Vapor.
Comments: I haven't yet found any shoe that all around beats this one. The stability is great, and the comfort is excellent! Although they only last me about 3-4 months, these shoes are the ones that have actually lasted me the longest! I tried the Nike Air Max Breathe Cage and at the end of the first two weeks, I had worn through the rubber!
Comments: Overall it is a 9 out of 10 shoe. The reason I give it a 9 and not a 10 is because my heel was sliding for awhile, but after that they felt great! They will last at least 6 months (and I play on a semi-pro level). Definitely worth the money!
Comments: A very good shoe. I have previously used the Barricade IVs and thought they were excellent but a bit heavy. I find the a3s to actually be better yet. The a3s have a better fit and are lighter than the IVs. The only caveat is the a3s don't stick on the hard court quite as well as the IVs -- I slide a bit in the a3s. However, I still rate the a3s better, all things considered. Shoes are a big deal for me since I rely on my speed and quickness to run down balls and frustrate my opponents by getting balls back in play. I'm a solid 3.5 all-court player who plays 2-3 times a week, 2-3 hours per session.
Comments: Shoes feel awesome!! I love theses considerably more than my previous barricade4s. The cushioning, fit, and everything is great, and those little bubbles on the bottom seem to absorb shock very well. The only thing though, is that these shoes don't seem to be too durable. I only used it for a short time, and can already see some wear appearing on the outsoles. But then again w/ a 6 month guarantee you can't really go wrong.
Comments: I love the shoes. They are durable and are very supportive. Like it says it does help with good foot speed. I also like them beacuse they are agile and are very light. I love them.
Comments: Expected this shoe to be better than Barricade III or IV because of price, but it is stiffer and not as well cushioned. It does have a good fit, though, but cushioning most important to someone with plantar fasciitis. I've always found high-end Adidas sneaks to be built to last.
Comments: The shoes are absolutely awesome looking, but they are not very durable.
They tore up in less than two weeks.
