Comments: I love how comfortable these shoes are, no break in required, awesome traction, but durability is horrible. Shoes wore out in a little over a month.

Comments: Believe the suggestion to buy a 1/2 size larger than you usually wear.
From: RICH, SARASOT, FL. 10/09

Comments: These are very good shoes, but not perfect. Pros: traction, well constructed, comfortable, light weight and low to the ground. Cons: Heal and forefoot cushion could be better (It does improve with more play), no ankle support, somewhat stiff out of the box but this goes away within 30 minutes of play. The material is similar to Nike Flywire, but less rigid. They fit similar to the Nike Zoom Kobe IV in that they have a glove like feel and are very light weight. Overall I would recommend these shoes, but they could be improved with better ankle support and better heal and forefoot cushioning.

Comments: Love the shoe. No need to break them in, and a lot lighter than the breathe cages. Fits like a glove.
From: Dave, Bellevue, WA 09/09

Comments: Great shoe but definitely runs very small as indicated. I got 1/2 size large than I wear with adidas Feather and probably should have actually gotten a full size larger. Besides the size issue they feel great out of the box.
From: Chris, Charlottesville, VA., USA. 8/09

Comments: Got these a few days ago, feel great, fit great, durability seems like it'll be fine. I'm very impressed--I'd been an adidas tirand/barricade wearer for years and switched to these recently and the comfort I think is even better. As to reports they run a 1/2 size small, I found them to be true to size. I wear a 10 in adidas, the 10s in these fit great. Good shoe.

Comments: I bought it a few days ago and I loved it. It fits very well! Too comfortable and awesome for play in all courts.
From: Tito, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, 07/09

Comments: This purchase was worth it because I received a good deal on the shoes. I do need something with a slightly wider platform. Lightweight, but I require a bit more cushioning and will likely use them for light hitting sessions or no more than an hour on the court. If you are lighter weight or just lighter on your feet, this shoe could be a good choice for you. I like them on the carpet/clay type of court we have locally. To put it in perspective, I'm not one who finds the Oscillates overly stiff.

Comments: Without a doubt, these are the worst pair of tennis shoes I've even worn. I've been a fan of Babolat gear for years, but after a month of every other day use (hard and clay court) these shoes are already worn out and my feet are in a lot of pain. The shoes have a very squishy feel and as another commenter noted they tend to jam your toes a lot. After playing today I couldn't stand the thought of wearing them even one more time so it's into the trash can. A complete waste of money in my opinion and I can't believe Babolat is marketing these shoes as being something special.
From: Cliff, Fort Smith, AR, USA. 06/09

Comments: This shoe is very light with pillow like cushion on the heel. It has great traction and lateral support. My only negative comment is that my toes touch the front of the shoe fairly easily when stopping forward movement quickly. Other than that, this is a great shoe that lets you move quickly and easily while giving a soft and comfortable ride.
From: Jason, Seattle, Wa. USA. 05/09

Comments: These shoes are great. I previously owned Nike Vapor V's and overall I like these shoes better. At first they are VERY stiff, they hurt my feet but after using them for a couple hours they're perfect. Cushioning is way better then I imagined and the traction is great. My favorite part of the shoe would definitely have to be the weight, it is light.. VERY LIGHT. The only gripe I have is that side part of the shoe, it seems like it is peeling off already, it is the part on the right side of the left shoe or the left side of the right shoe, that is the part where I drag my feet when I play and it seems like its coming off. But I highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking to get a great pair of durable and light shoes.
From: Janel, Chicago, IL, USA. 05/09

Comments: They may look good but that's it. They feel fine and the support is good... however they are not durable. I play high school tennis and in 2 matches and 1 practice tore 2 holes in my right shoe. They didn't even last a week. If you at all tend to cut hard when you run or drag your toe on either your forehand or serve you're screwed. Also they are very stiff out of the box.
From: Ben, New Jersey. USA. 04/09

Comments: Nice shoes. Very light, better traction than the Propulse. Great cushioning, also much better than the Propulse. I should have ordered 1/2 size larger as was recommended, but I didn't believe it. I have had over a dozen pairs of Barricades going back to the Barricade II's, and I am not sorry I switched. I am guessing durability will not be as good, but I can't be sure, as I have only had them for a couple of weeks.
From: Roy, Santa Rosa, Ca, USA. 04/09

Comments: Great shoes. I was so disappointed with the first version, these are super comfortable and cushioned in comparison, I also added a gel insole and wearing Thorlo socks. It was a super nice ride. Get 1/2 a size up from your standard shoe size, they REALLY do run 1/2 a size smaller. I rate the cushioning like the Breathe Cage II or better (both with the gel insoles) but much much lighter and maneuverable, stability very good also.
From: Matt, Seattle, WA, USA. 4/09

Comments: These are the most cushioned shoes I have ever worn, and they're lighter than Barricades. Durability I don't know yet, but my feet are thanking me for it and I can now stay longer on court.
From: Cris, Melbourne, Australia. 3/09

Comments: I loved the comfort of these shoes! I used to play with the Barricades and the Babolat are so much more comfy! Great support as well. Great shoes!
From: Sean, San Bernardino, CA. 3/09

Comments: These are the most painful sneakers I've ever worn. At 13oz too weak to be a tennis shoe. The plastics things on the side press into the side of your foot, and I was in pain the entire night playing. What a waste of money. The only good thing is they look great.
