Comments:I wore these shoes for almost a year and can't complain about the durability. I am a 3.5 player and play 2-3 times a week - mostly doubles. I can complain about the fit though. My foot moved way to much in the shoe and had to wear two pairs of socks to try and prevent callouses. It's also too much shoe. I couldn't get a good feel for the court.

Comments: I have had 2 pairs of these shoes, and they are wonderful! these shoes have lasted so much longer than other shoes that I have previously worn. They don't take very long to break in and are super comfortable. I just love them!
From: Kate, Rochester, MN, USA. 8/08

Comments: Gotta say I am not a fan of these shoes. They just still aren't that comfortable and I've been wearing them for two months. I have gotten a few blisters which I've never gotten with any other shoe. They also make the foot look very long and big. Won't buy them again and am online now researching new shoes.
From: Robin, La, Ca.. 8/08

Comments: This is a great shoe, but only on clay courts. It keeps my feet without sweat. It seems heavy at first but once you get used to it, it only does you good!
From: Emma, Queensbury, NY, USA. 7/08

Comments: I absolutely do not like these shoes. They are hot, heavy and too wide for almost any woman's foot. They feel like you have boxes on your feet. I was very disappointed with this line from adidas. The Barricade II shoes are the best ones yet. They need to make a shoe more narrow and light weight for women.
From: KYLA, IN, USA. 6/08

Comments: I bought a pair of Barricade IVs. At first, they felt heavy and stiff. I didn't like them at first. But after I wore them a couple of times, they broke in. Now they feel very good on my feet and I love them!
From: Emily, Dayton, OH, USA. 6/08

Comments: This is at least my 8th pair of Barricades, and it's the only disappointing one I've had. Wide, heavy, hot and uncomfortable compared to the other Barricades!
From: Julie, Las Vegas, NV, USA, 05/08

Comments: I heard only good things about the Barricade IV so I bought a pair recently. I was excited to try them out on the court but was a little disappointed. They are a nice looking shoe, give great stability but are way too heavy. I feel like I have no mobility on the courts. It seems to be taking a while to break them in.
From: Anon., Atlanta, GA. 5/08

Comments: I love these shoes! I have had mine for almost a year, and they are still holding up quite nicely. I would highly recommend these shoes for any player, plus they are really comfortable too!
From: Lyndsay, London, KY, USA. 3/08

Comments: I just ordered these shoes and have found them to be very stiff and clunky. They slip at the heel and make me feel slow and cautious on the court. I play a lot of tennis, both singles and doubles and find these shoes slow down my game. Going back to my old shoes. I would not buy them again, although I think they are a nice looking shoe.
From: Rita, Brunswick, OH. 1/08

Comments: I have worn Adidas Barricade II and III for several years and loved them, so fully expected to love the IVs, too. I have worn them since July and actually fallen on the court twice and rolled my ankle once. I've been playing 4.0 doubles for 15 years and never fallen before. They are clunky and heavy and the huge heel provides too much traction. My foot stops, but the rest of my body keeps going.
From: Betsy, Findlay, Ohio, USA. 10/07

Comments: I just bought this shoe and have been waiting for it for ages. I have a reasonably wide foot and found that it was not suitable. I also have quite flat feet and they gave me considerable arch problems. I would not recommend this shoe to people who have a similar kind of foot to mine. I play 5 times a week and I just found that my feet were in too much pain to play in them. The only positive that I had found is that they look very nice!
From: Tania, Australia. 10/07

Comments: By far the best tennis shoes I have ever worn. It has lasted longer than the others. I love the ankle support. It was heavy at first, but in time it was no problem. I recommend this to everyone.
From: Jelaine, Downey, CA, USA, 06/07

Comments: I love these shoes. They are so comfortable and they look nice too. The only problem is I play high level tennis 6 days a week and they only last me about 2 months. If the soles lasted a little longer they would be the best shoes for tennis.
From: Catie, Atlanta, GA, USA. 5/07

Comments: I love this shoe. It is a little narrow, but it fits like a glove. The sole of the shoe is wearing down, but that is just because I play for hours every day. I definitely recommend the shoe.
From: Anon. 4/07

Comments: I like this shoe, I even have the white/pink/silver color which was the first color they launched in Dec '05 or Jan '06 here in Bangkok when I was waiting till available in the market...having this white/blue color is sort of "Barricade IV collection" hehehehe.....thanks to Adidas...
From: Chai, Bangkok, Thailand. 3/07

Comments: I love this shoe!!! I have always gone with Nike and I want to try another shoe and this shoe is amazing. It fits like a glove on my foot, and the ankle support is incredible. The added weight didn't bother me at all. Thanks Adidas!!!
From: Erin, OR, USA. 12/06

Comments: I have wanted these shoes FOREVER and I just ordered them recently. They are amazing and I am so glad that I got them. They are extremely comfortable, not to mention they look pretty sweet. They are definitely a great buy!
From: Anonymous, Hartland, WI, USA. 12/06

Comments: This is my first pair of Adidas shoes and I loved them. I always wore Nike shoes and the soles wore out in 2 months. They are everything I wanted!
From: Preslee, Strongsville, OH, USA. 12/06

Comments: Great shoe!!! This was my first pair of Barricades, and I love them. They did feel a bit heavy the first time I wore them, but after a day or two of wearing them, they felt like slippers. I highly recommend them!!! Great job Adidas!!!
From: Maddie, Bedford, PA, USA. 10/06

Comments: This was my first pair of Barricades and they're REALLY comfortable. As a doubles and singles player I find them great as they provide great support. After I had knee surgery I switched to these and they've helped my knees greatly as they tilt inward slightly. It felt weird to me at first, but not bad at all. I don't know about you guys, but I don't get ANY blisters from them. I�ve had these for like 3 months and I already have a hole in them but I play about 30 hours of tennis a week. I don't find them clunky at ALL. I think they bend a lot. I give them 4.5 stars out of 5!
From: Briana, Texas, USA 08/06

Comments: Had the Barricade III's and loved them. Knew that they were being replaced by the IV's so I tried them on. Bought them a half size smaller and they have been great. NO break in period for either shoe. They do seem to fit better now that I bought the right fit for that shoe. I wear 8's in most shoes, but in the Barricade IV, the size 8 seemed to hit me in all the wrong places, but when I tried on the 7.5's they were perfect. Made the switch no problem.
From: Grace, Barrington Hills, IL USA 08/06

Comments: I bought these shoes trying to replace my Nike Air Zoom. At first I found them very heavy (much heavier than my Nikes) and a little stiff. After I broke them in (3 days- 15 hours of tennis) I LOVED them! I got used to their heaviness and don't even notice it any more. They are very easy to move around in and give lots of support. These are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had and will be buying them up once they go on sale. They run half a size big.
From: Elizabeth, PA, USA 08/06

Comments: These shoes gave me the worst BLISTERS! They are awful. Way too heavy also. Go with the Barricade 2's!
From: Ellen, Warrenton, VA, 20187 07/06

Comments: First pair of Barricades. They're great. My feet no longer hurt after playing. Will buy a back up pair for when these wear out. I agree that they run about a half size large but the toe box is nice and roomy.
From: Elaine, Bradenton, FL USA 07/06

Comments: I bought a pair of these to replace by barricade IIs and hate them. I can not break them in. I have blisters every time I play in them and never had the problem with my old ones. They are EXTREEMLY stiff and feel clunky while trying to play in them.
From: Beth 07/06

Comments: I loved the previous versions of Barricades, but don't like the Barricade IV's. I wore them yesterday for the first time. They are heavy and felt clunky on the court. They do not fit true to size. I ordered an 8.5 as always, and these were too big. After 1.5 hours of play, my toes were hurting and numb. I even tried giving them away, but couldn't find any takers. I wish I had returned these. I guess I'll wear them with sweats around town, but not on the court. I will go back to Barricade III's.
From: Cheryl, Leesburg, VA, USA 06/06

Comments: I just got the new barricade 4 shoe to replace my barricade 2 shoes that I have worn out. I thought the barricade 2 was the best shoe I had ever had until I got the barricade 4. I love them, great support and stability. I think they provide more control and traction on the hard court.
From: Kylia, New Albany In USA 06/06

Comments: Look Great but are heavy. I trained every day in them for 2 weeks and then played half a game of Netball in them and still found them too heavy, flat, hot and stiff. I had to change shoes into a lighter pair with more shock absorption. I no longer train or play sports in them, but wear them with my sweats when running to the shops.
From: Moreen, Smyrna, TN, USA 05/06

Comments: Bought a pair of Barricade IV's in March to start to break in to replace my Barricade III's. I HATE THEM! I'll never be able to play tennis in them. I'm buying up all the Barricade III that I can find as I LOVE the III's. They are hot, heavy, hurt my toes and are just enough higher around the ankle to rub. Did not fit true to size either.
From: Nancy Hobaugh, Indio, CA, USA 05/06

Comments: These shoes are over all great. They DO need some break-in but after they are nice and worn it, they are fantastic. They are a little heavy, but they last, and there is a 6-month guarantee on them so really for me I�m buying 2 pairs for 105 dollars. So over all a GREAT SHOE!
From: Haley, AZ, USA 04/06

Comments: I bought these a couple of weeks ago and found them to be very heavy and hot. I wore the Barricades previously and loved them but could not break these in.
From: Rhonda, Rome, GA, USA 04/06

Comments: I love the Barricade IVs, but they needed breaking in. After wearing them for about 3 hours they were wonderful, lots of support, very comfortable. I play almost every day, so usually wear out a pair of shoes in less than two months. I have worn these for almost three months and the soles are getting worn, but still serviceable. I don't think they will last the guaranteed six-months, so hope they replace them as promised.
From: Megan, Church Point, NSW, Australia. 3/06

Comments: I bought these and found that they are wider than the normal Barricade shoes. I have worn Barricades for over 3 years and love then. They are too generous in sizing unfortunately.
From: Christine, Kenmore, WA, USA 02/06

Comments: These are awesome shoes. They offered everything I wanted.
From: Sarah, Taunton, England. 2/06

Comments: These shoes are awesome! They are just like the Barricade III's, like the durability and stability, but it feels so much lighter! THANK YOU ADIDAS! Just one hint, please make better colors. I like more interesting ones like the men's colors or the former Adidas Barricade III colors.
From: Krisy, NJ, USA. 12/05

Comments: Just got my Barricade IV's and they are everything I expected. Unbelievable comfort and stability. No break in required. They look great too. They seem to be a cross between the Barricade III's and the Feathers. The only thing I found was that they are very generous in length, but a pair of Thorlos fixed that. Another winner from Adidas. I would definitely buy another pair.
