Customer Reviews adidas Barricade Court

An excellent court shoe. Stability is outstanding. Your first impression of the shoe is the stiffness. However, the minute you're on the court the stability, derived from this stiffness, in any lateral movement, makes you forget your even wearing shoes (no turned ankles, achilles problems seem to be greatly reduced). The knock is lack of supportive foot bed. There is zero cushion or arch support. Therefore just pick up a good cushioned arch support from your running store or drug store and the shoes are a dream. Lastly, this is not a walking or running shoe. To wear for a long walk or run in these shoes would be your worst choice as they are sport specific court shoes and best be used for that reason. Racketball, Tennis, Not Basketball etc.

This was not a W shoe. It was a normal 9 and small at that.

I am a woman with wide feet, and as such could not find court shoes in the stores that were wide enough. Even the women's court shoes from Zappos did not work, so at a suggestion I started trying men's court shoes. I must have tried all of the men's New Balance shoes, but they all fit like men's shoes. The one pair of Adidas shoes I ordered fit great, except for them being a teensy bit loose around the ankle.

These shoes would probably be terrific for many people. I bought these when Zappos was out of the Adidas Barricade 4, which has a lot of mesh in the upper. These shoes are as light and most of the fit is comfortable, but I have trouble with both 1) the front foot flexion, which is a bit stiff for my taste, but maybe would break in OK and 2)The main problem for me with most shoes, the rubbing of my outer ankle epicondyle against the upper edge of the shoe. The mesh of the Barricades is soft enough that I do not have a problem. I think these shoes have the identical structure but the stiff leather promised a blister for me there. Perhapws that would break in as well, but I do not need the pain while getting there.

I bought these with high hopes that they would fit my feet which are a little wider than average. I thought the extra width in this sizing would work great. Unfortunately these shoes in no way should be considered a "wide" shoe. In fact I was unable to even get them fully on my feet. What a disappointment. I've returned them this week.

My husband has worn Adidas for past 3 years because of past problems with heel pain. No problem any more after switching to Adidas . He put these on right outta the box and went to court.

I like them. They came earlier than expected. They fit so I don't complain. I will buy again!

Solar red (despite the name) is actually a really nice and vibrant orange. Shoes are great on the court and would 100% buy again.

They look and feel like nice shoes, but the single-E width feels and looks more like what is usually called D or medium. Had to return them, sadly.

One of the best cheaper shoes I have had in a long time. I work in a hospital, and use custom orthotics with these. I am on my feet all day long, in comfort.

I ordered these shoes at 11:30 am on a Thursday received them at 3:00 pm Friday. I live in the same state as the distribution center but that is still amazing. Shoes are excellent, fit, appearance, price.

Good value for this tennis shoe. Will last one high school season for my son plus some summer hitting. As always the best part of buying the shoe is the unmatched service of Zappos.

A decent sneaker that gives good support. Wears down quickly.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A nice price for some weekend tennis shoes that wouldn't look dirty after a couple of games.

I just got these. My first impression is that they look and feel cheap, plasticy. absolutely flat inside, zero arch support but I have a custom insole. I am tired of waiting for shoes, shipping them back. These are very uncomfortable shoes. I am heating up, rebaking the insoles and hope that helps. These are not the Adidas that I used to sell 40 years ago. I am very disappointed.

It's a stylish shoe, colorful. Super light. But it's more like a running shoe than a tennis shoe. There's not enough support around the foot, and the bottom of my feet are burning after an hour or so on a hard court, and I play at least two hours normally.
