It depends on how you wear the shoes. For me, I tend to drag my heel and notice that Vapor 9s are pretty thin outersole in the heel area but they look decent in the toe area.

They are not as durable but it's the best shoe by offering the best combination of comfort, cushion, stability, low to the ground feel, and weight.

Just bought a pair of 9's.

Played with them twice now, and I've got blisters on the balls of both feet.

Have never had this issue with Barricades..

I'm tipping my foot doesn't suit these shoes, or I should have bought half a size smaller for a tighter fit. They are snug, but not that snug.

Really comfortable and light though

Nice comeback. You obviously aren't better than that. Troll harder.
Still don't know what you've got against me, but hey if you need someone to boost your self esteem, yeah go for it. If you tell me it's that time of the month, I'll acknowledge it too.

Vapor 9 don't last, simple as that. I'd like to see you make an argument in which Vapor 9 is a durable shoe. People stating Vapor 9 lasting just as long as those who complain about it durability setback? Pull those people up. How do they wear it? How much court time is spent on an individual pair?

Thanks for all of the feedback guys, I really appreciate it, probably going to go with the vapor 9 just because the comfort sounds unbelievable.

Follow Federer's example, wear double socks in those shoes

As I really do not want to roll an ankle. Ive heard stories about the vapor tipping over and I want to find out if this really is the case.

I would also like to know about the sizing. I wear a size 12 US in the courtballistec 3.3 and a size 11.5 US in the barricade 7. Does anybody have any recommendations on what size I should get in the vapor 9 tour?
Much thanks for any advice.
ugh, i tweaked my ankle last monday, happened to be the first day i wore the vapor 9's. Don't get me wrong, gsoat in the comfort department but for some reason they got rid of the "fed wedge design" that dates back to the vapor 4's and all of their performance level tennis shoes since then. Feel a slight difference from the breathe 2k11s, which has the extra 1/8" of rubber protruding from the side. I'll get over it, i just don't understand why they did it.
