My old Adidas Tirand II's are worn out and is starting to have a hole at the front and am thinking of getting a new shoe. I have looked at many different shoes and these are my choices. Barricade IV, A3 Prevail, SHT304, Defier RS and the Barricade III. Feel free to comment and all help is appreciated. If anyone can reccomend other shoes or help me chose, that would be great.
I am seeking comfort and durability and traction on court.

well, the barricades are always a good choice, but another possibility could be the breathe free 2's or 3's, they get a lot of good reviews, durable (six-month durability guarantee), comfortable, lightweight, and looks pretty good

Any adivce is appreciated

Sorry, Intelligence, I was on vacation, so I didn't help you earlier. Well, the Barricades give a lot of support, but I don't think they are your lightest shoes. However, given the fact that your primary needs are comfort, durability and traction, I think the Barricades are a great choice. If you play more on a clay court, I would recommend the Adidas ClimaCool Feather II. Most of the pros switch from Barricades to Feathers during the clay court season.
As for K-Swiss, both the Accomplish and Ascendor are terrific shoes based on comfort, durability, and traction. The only problem is, if you have a big-arched wide foot, the shoe might not be perfect for you, but I think they're both "Accomplished" shoes.

thanks for the reply , i already got my barricade iv's but was just asking if the feather is only a clay shoe? as my friend has the feather and plays on grass,hard and synthtic grass all of the usual courts u would find exept clay and says they go on all surfaces

Yes, the Feather's go on all shoes. They are sort of parallel to the Nike Air Max Breathe line. The Feather's are lighter than the Barricades, but I don't think they give as much support as the Barricades do. But surely, both shoes (Barricades and Feathers) work on all surfaces.
