Barricade 5 / Wilson Tour Vision comparison

[GTI]

-----------
on TW :
Barricade 5: Fit: Length fit is true to size. Width fit is medium. Arch support is medium height. This shoe requires a short break-in period.

Tour vision: Fit: Length fits true to size. Width is a generous medium. Arch support is medium.
--------------------

I'v heard that tour vision is very comfortable shoe but how stable compared to barricade 5?

And how about size comparison, I wear size 11 (UK) barricades (tight fit), is it true I can order same size Tour visions?

I tried a pair of the wilsons on at a local shop and 11.5 was the size for me which is the same size I wore in the B5s. They were very comfortable but I did not buy them. I purchased a pair of asics gel res 2 from tennis warehouse

Thanks Chace, did visions feel stable at forefoot?

I'v also had asics res 2 and it is good comfortable shoe but I found it little weak torsionally..

They felt pretty stable in the forefoot but then again I just tried them on and walked around the store. The had more cushioning and were a little more comfortable than the asics. The reasons why I didn't get the wilsons were the price and the reviews on TW. A few reviews mentioned a burning in the heel. I have had asics in the past I was pleased with them so I ordered a pair from TW. When I say reviews on TW I actually meant the customers feedback

Ok.

I'v also read those feedbacks on TW. At this moment my number one prorities are cushioning and stability. Far after them comes traction or other characteristics so I can live with some burning / heat....it's quite gold here where I live

Thanks and hoping GR2s will be good for you!

Okay once more...I was traveling another town and there was little store where I luckily found vision tours size 11 (uk). Size was little short but quite same as barricade size 11.

Based just wearing them at the store visions were very cushioned but not as near as stable I was hoping for (compared to my barricade V's).

I have quite wide front foot and my foot was like rolling over the edge ot the outsole. If you understnad what I mean. Just little but surely enough to twist my loose ankle during hard movement.

In my opinion visions were similar to asics GR2 (maybe gr2 have eve more stability than visions).

My seeking continues.. if there exist stable and cushioned shoe for wider feet please let me know!?
