A CB 4.3 that is more breathable?

[edman9898]

Is there any shoe out there that is as durable as the 4.3 but breathes a little better? I like the fit (though the toe box could be a tad wider), durability, and traction. I have not found a shoe out there that holds up like this one, as I usually blow thru shoes in 2-3 months.

Barricades weren't that breathable imo. I also had a hot sweaty foot after a long practice, while with the CB's it wasn't that bad. Personally I like the CB's breathable mesh put into the mid foot-heel area.

Big Shot 2 leaves (washable) marks. That's even why the men TW playtest was cancelled, although the women one was published. Barricade 7 are even more durable than the CB 4.3. Might give it a try. Or lighter and thinner socks too, might be useful if it's bothersome.

The CB4.3 is one of the most breathable tennis shoes I've ever worn, right up there with the 2k11 and Gel Res. Thing is, no matter what shoes or socks I wear during tennis my feet are absolutely soaking, so this sounds to me like perhaps you also are just a heavy sweater.

B7s is the most durable shoe on the market right now. But they do have breathability issues.

Agreed. That said, while they are not near as breathable as the 4.3s but I must say the mesh atop the toes is better than it looks for ventilation. I'd rate the B7 as moderate for ventilation rather than poor like Babolat V-Pros or Tour Ikons.
