Comments: Great shoe! This shoe doesnt feel heavy and had so far been very durable for me. The only downside is that it can start to hurt your feet after after 5-6 hours of play in a row, but overall it is a great shoe!

Comments: I have the wide version of this shoe and I really didn't like the feel of this shoe from the start. When I slipped my foot inside the shoe, it felt very narrow, even though this was the wide version. I was pretty sure I was going to return this shoe. However, I decided to give it chance and wear them around the house for a few days. The shoe now feels much better. It seems to have expanded to fit my feet better now. They are pretty stiff and they don't have that much cushioning compared to other shoes, but if you give them a chance, they might work out for you.

Comments: The shoes are comfortable and seem quite durable (I've had them for around 2 months and play 2-3 times a week). They are stiff and tough. The only complaint is that they look like my grandpa's. Probably I am not the best person to review these shoes, since they are my first pair of tennis shoes in about 15 years. But the shoes are more than ok.

Comments: Terrible shoe! Hard, bulky and narrow at the front. Blisters on my little toes and abrasions on the insides of my ankles. I thought they would brake-in eventually but I've had them for weeks and they still feel horrible each time I wear them. My advice is, don't buy them but if you must perhaps consider trying half a size bigger than your usual size.

Comments: These shoes are HORRIBLE. Out of the box, the Ballistics are very stiff. Traction feels great and the weight doesn't bother me. But after wearing them for a few hours, my ankles felt like they wanted to SNAP. The shoes have absolutely NO arch support and padding for your sole is minimal to NONE. After playing for a few hours trying to break them in, I was left with very heavy blisters (shoes were still not broken in at that point). DO NOT purchase these shoes! They are the WORST!!!!!!

Comments: I have the 10.5 E. They are great. Good shoes. It doesn't wear out that quick for me. Good grip and comfort.
From: Fred, San Jose, CA 09/09

Comments: It took about a weeks worth of playing to break in. I found the front part of the outsole around the toe area to wear down extremely fast. Faster than any other shoe I've owned. I feel it may be due to the pattern used around the toe area. I've noticed small chunks of rubber just breaking off on the first day of use. I've used Breath Free for a few years, which are much more comfortable and easier to move in. Prior to those I was wearing other zoom air series shoes. Heel support doesn't feel as good as Breathe Free either, I 'feel' more than I should after a game. On the basis of the fast wearing outsole, I predict these shoes will last me 2 months play time, max before a hole will be created. Nothing has changed in the way I move since the last pair of shoes. I can't recommended these shoes. Court Ballistic 1.3 also seem to have the same pattern up front.

Comments: Very durable and good-looking shoe. This does not have great ventilation but is very comfortable and lasts for many months. For any solid tournament 4.0 player this shoe is great. Highly recommended over barricades and breath cages. These are not the most reasonable in price but are affordable.
From: Raghav, Morganville, NJ, USA, 07/09

Comments: Good shoes. They took about a week and a blister to "wear in" but after that they are very solid. Extremely grippy, very supportive soles for aggressive tennis. They don't breathe as good as the Air Max Breath Frees but what does? I had those but the soles flat out broke on me. Not many frills or gimmicks but solid for hard play.

Comments: This shoe has absolutely no arch support and makes your feet lean inward. Although the 2E width was OK, not happy with this shoe.
From: Steve, Atlanta, GA USA 07/09

Comments:Great shoes, I was tired of burning through cheap shoes every month. On the first day with these shoes I was slipping and sliding a lot, possibly from the dirt on the court however after the very short break in period that never happened again. My only complaints are that for the first week my right ankle was feeling bruised from the collar of the shoe. But now its fine no pains at all. And also the ventilation could be better, it was like a little oven in there. Also I never use the top/last eyelets/holes. Uncomfortable when I do. Also the laces run short when you do. After about 2 weeks the sole is starting to show wear but I haven't noticed any difference in the traction. Great shoes try 'em out. However I'm definitely moving up to the CB 1.3 after these

Comments: I Love this shoe! Awesome to wear and it looks cool. Not the lightest shoes I've worn because before this I used Fila Punto and Adidas Feather, but overall, after a while I don't feel that this shoes is heavy.

Comments: This is the first tennis shoe I've purchased in this price range. Not that they are cheap, but I own a couple pair of vapor IV and V's which are a little more expensive. I wanted to see how a shoe like this compared to the high-end versions and I have to admit I was surprised at the quality of this shoe. The sole feels very similar to the breath cage and the comfort is pretty close as well. I like the shoe because it looks very nice on my feet, it is light weight but took a little longer to break-in than other shoes I have. The differences I felt with this shoe--compared to a more pricey shoe--came after about an hour of play on a hard court, I could start to feel there wasn't as much cushion under the ball of my foot and therefore it started to ache when sprinting up for a drop-shot or stretching for a forehand. Overall, I would highly recommend this shoe because it felt very stable on lateral movement and besides the lack of shock absorption it was comfortable and well constructed for the cost.

Comments: I got these to replace my Air Max Smash shoes. The toe box is a bit narrow, but otherwise these are pretty solid shoes. I replaced the insole with some heat moldable ones and they feel pretty good now. Good durability and they have a classic look. If you have a wide forefoot, you might want to go with another model, they do have these in EE also.

Comments: Excellent shoe! This shoe has great support with a manageable weight. It is very comfortable and is a great improvement over my old Barricades. Highly recommended!
From: Vincent, Anaheim, CA, USA. 3/09

Comments: These shoes are terrible. The toe box is so tight on toes, as well as uncomfortable after a long day of matches my feet hurt so much as well as blisters on both of the outsides of my pinky toes. One of the worst shoes I have ever worn.
