Default Shoe that grips the heel/achilles area?

Right now I'm using the Adidas Bercuda it feels great, but man there is no support in the heel area..almost feels like I'm wearing slippers.

Is there a shoe that you guys recommend that has a nice, firm, support for the heel/achilled area?

Adidas Barricade V -- very firm and grippy in the heel.

Bercuda are bottom of the barrel shoes so pain is expected when wearing these type of cheap shoes. Try on the Adidas Barricade Team, Propulse 2 for under $70.

I would love to find some of these, the interwebs have failed me. Anyone have any ideas besides ****?

I loved my Barricade V, I hated the B6, and they changed the B7 in a way that it doesn't fit my foot : (

adidas adizero feather 2 are very supportive in the heel, especially for a speed shoe.
