Not for me, unfortunately
KDubz
These are my second pair of Adidas Tennis shoes. My first pair were Barricade 7 Novak Pro (size US 10). I love my Novak Pro. They are durable, comfortable and supportive, so I thought I would give these Barricade 2018 (size US 10) a try. Long story short I had to return them. Overall, they had elements of being an awesome pair of tennis shoes but, unfortunately, they weren’t for me. Below are my pros and cons for these shoes. Pros: - Great lock down - Super supportive - Great design (I bought the black and red colourway) Cons: - They gave me pretty bad blisters on my right foot - Toe box is a bit narrow for me, I found both big toes kept jamming into the toe box (didn't have this issue with my Novak Pro) - Most importantly, less than 10 hours of play time some parts of the shoes started to fall apart (please see attachments) ... read more

Quite a bit different than the 2016 Version, makes them unusable for me
Rick123456789
The shoe fit a bit snugger than the 2016 version and has a rigid plastic piece on the arch that sticks up a bit higher that caused blisters on my arch. Currently hunting for a different pair because I can't use these. ... read more

Could be better!
AlexTennis11
For this price tag you would expect everything to be perfect. I’m gonna point out a few pro s and cons: Con’s: the heal even dough it has boost technology still a little bit heavy on the Achile tendon, too fit/tight on the lace part( the sock is too tight, needs a week to break it down a little bit), lack of ankle stability Pro’s: looks and feels well build with quality materials, durable, played on all surfaces and the sole performances perfectly ... read more

Great 'smart' trainers
DanG79
I was looking for trainers to wear with jeans and these are perfect. The darker gum coloured sole rather than white, and matching grey coloured adidas logo give these a slightly smarter look - just what I wanted. I have previously owned plimcanas and these are almost identical in fit and overall size. Excellent service by adidas, quick delivery and i was able to order two sizes and return one for free. ... read more

Great shoe but colour not for me
Moleman1
I ordered these shoes thinking the sole would be red to match the red and black colouring of the rest of the shoe. Unfortunately it is neon pink, which is not to my taste, so I will be exchanging them for a different colour combination. Overall though a great shoe. ... read more

BRING BACK THE BARRICADE 7'S!!!
TopherFu
These shoes are a huge disappointment! I have worn the Barricade 7's for the past 4 years and they were hands down the best tennis shoe Adidas has ever made. These new shoes are too narrow and long which doesn't make them comfortable. The bottom of the outsole near the ankle started to peel away from the boost material after 1 week. The material on the side is a joke, and the shoe holds heat in very well, unfortunately. There is too much material on the top of the midfoot which presses down on your skin and is very painful. Save your money and buy other shoes, or hope a miracle happens and they bring back the Barricade 7's. ... read more

Not as well made as previous versions
gags88
Looks the part. not as well made as some older models, shoes fit the foot really well but not at ankles. But the main problem is the finish were the soles meet the shoe you can see the glue/stiching leaving me doubts that they will last as long as some of the older versions and close up makes the shoe not as atrractive. ... read more

DO NOT BUY... WORST TENNIS SHOES I'VE EVER TRIED
ErikTennis
These shoes in a sentence are simply unwearable. For some reason Adidas decided to construct a large portion of the mid sole right around the arch out of hard plastic. This plastic may be good for stability, but offers no conformity around your foot. I went from no blisters, to blisters, to bleeding in around an hour of half of play with these shoes. The shoe overall have a weird fit. ... read more

I play on artificial grass that has a bit of excess sand. The sole has a much better grip than my old shoes and with the wide herringbone tread the sand has not clogged up in the tread which has minimised slipping. They are a bit generous in length so I ended up with half size smaller than usual. The fit over the front of the foot is quite snug but now that they have worn in they are now great. Will certainly purchase another after a bit more wear to see the wear durability of the soul. ... read more

Quality Assurance falls with every barricade update
Don0216
Used to really love barricades but with every update/iteration, it seems that Adidas cares less and less. I haven't even worn the shoes for a week and the heel lock has fallen off. When I called to ask about this issue, the lady on the phone admitted that the new barricades have had a lot of issues and that I should look into getting a different tennis shoe. Really sad because the BOOST is extremely comfortable, but Adidas seems to be cutting corners and not enforcing quality inspections. ... read more

Cool Barricade new look and style!

I like the new look of the Barricade, everything seems to work great!!! I had only 2 weeks with them and so far so good. Hopes the tennis shoe maintain his good look and stability at least 4-5 months. Will see! ... read more

An improvement over recent Baracades
CTB60
These shoes fit me well right out of the box. The upper is made out of a better quality material than the last couple of Baracades models. Additionally, the tongue has been attached on the sides to prevent it from sliding off center. General improvement overall. ... read more

One shape does not fit all
Serious1
A healthy big toe does *not* bend inward (towards the other toes). Yet, these shoes are shaped to force the big toe in that direction. I got to these shoes after purchasing a pair of Barricade Novak Pro, and having to stop using them after a few weeks because of pain at the base of the phalange. My opinion is that the problem was caused by a combination of the toebox shape (bending inward, as described above) and the odd cushioning. There is a pretty thick, clearly perceptible cushion under the area where the metatarsal bone meets the phalange, and another one right under the tip of the big toe... but nothing in between. As a result, when the weight shifts to the forefoot, the big toe is supported at the tip and at the base, but not in between! Now: I have had older models of the same shoe (at least, the outer appearance was exactly the same, except the were not called "Novak" at the time), and never had this problem before. I tried the Barricade 2018 Boost because I hoped they would not have the same shortcomings, but... they do. I returned this product, and am sorry to say I will need to find another brand, because the design of these shoes simply hurts my foot. ... read more

Good shoes
Germg
The shoes run a little tighter compared to other barricades of its size but I enjoy a little tighter hug around the foot for added stability. Overall I would definitely recommend the shoe and will more than likely purchase again! ... read more

A high quality tennis shoe for the money
Gupmeister
I don't usually buy tennis shoes from Adidas, but I had two pairs of trainers in my cart for my kids and thought I'd take a punt. The colours looked to match my tennis clothes really well and the price was in the right range. So far they are comfortable enough and they look great. Really happy with my buy. ... read more

Laces stop too high, can't control width in the front, cause blisters
ToneDaBass
Previous versions of the Barricade had laces that go down farther toward the toe. On the 2018, the laces stop way too high, so you can't control width in the front of the sneaker. This has been causing me blisters that won't stop even after a long break-in period. I ended up buying a pair of 2017 Barricades on sale, which is a fantastic shoe, and I'll just use these as walking shoes. ... read more

Best Barricade yet.
SwankPeRFection
This version of the Barricade is the best yet. The Boost versions are the most comfortable in terms of heel impact and overall hardcourt forgiveness. They should make all of them with Boost. Traction and direction change isn’t affected by this at all. Where the shoe may be lacking a tiny bit is on the rubber patches around the ball of big toe on the side of your foot where sometime dragging happens and on the top of the toe box. These are two sections where I will tend to drag my left foot on really low shots and I don’t think the top layer of protection is thick and durable enough to keep taking it. We’ll see how that goes, but overall, this is a great shoe and I’ve always worn Barricades. The 2018 version is my favorite so far. But plus on integrating the tongue into the shoe finally. ... read more
