I have one pair left of the Blushield 5’s, in a clay only version. Rarely play on clay here in the states, but I use them whenever I do.
As much as I liked the Torneo’s when they released, there’s just some magic missing here that the 5’s had. I miss that shoe so much, truly one of the greats of the last few years.
Not here to sh*t on the Torneo’s though, still a great offering. I managed to grab another pair on discount for Black Friday. Whenever we get the 6, or the 7 if the Torneo is considered the 6, I hope they go back in the direction of the 5s.

By the time I started to get those holes, I pretty much burned through my right toe from drag:

Well, a lot of us have been around posting since the Blueshield 5, and it’s been a hell of a run. Diadora needs to fix the durability issues in the upper on the B.Icon, and the apparent wear on the outsole of the Torneo. These are great shoes with major issues apparently, although I haven’t had...

So just ordered myself the very last pair of 9.5 blue. Tried em on and feel amazing but do they run a half size big or do I just not know my true shoe size?
I am a 10.5 in most shoes but wear these in a 10

I started using one this month in my regular size and I am very impressed. I should have used these since they first came out.
Support/Stability is excellent. Hard stop, direction change is probably best of what I have used in last 5 years. This reminds me of Barricade 7s.
Energy Return is excellent and for maximalist shoe this shoes is as quick as it gets. I feel my footwork is tad better with this shoe compared to my Raptor 100 SPD.
Cushioning is very good, but I think Lotto Raptor 100 SPD has better cushioning.
Grip is also excellent. I played during/after light drizzle on hard court and had no issues with the grip on the court.
As far as sizing is concerned I use Raptor half size bigger and Torneo at regular size and even then I feel Torneo has more room in forefoot.

As a user for both Raptor 100 and Torneo, it's really hard to tell which is better.
Feeling so confident in both, and both feels faster than the weight.
I do hear Torneo upper is a bit "fragile", does any one experience that?

BTW, I choose Raptor 100 the same size with Torneo, and half size larger than B.Icon.
what stopped you from trying these earlier?

I had few unused pairs of other shoes.
I just bought a pair of the clay V1s without realizing the Torneos run large. The retailer I brought them from is out of the half size below what I bought, so I don't get much value out of returning them. The length is slightly long, but there's more play laterally in the forefoot even with the thick Kirkland socks from Costco. If I cinch up tightly around the midfoot and use a runner's knot, do you think I could get away with keeping the shoes and playing in them on court?
I purchased the predecessor to to the Torneo, which was the Blushield 5, and even paid return shipping to send it back because it felt large. Heel slippage will not be tolerated. I would do it if I have free shipping.
The Torneos however fit great after ordering in my own size though.

I kept my normal sizing and haven't had any problems with them. I tried the smaller size on in a shop and they were way too tight. I'm about ready to buy my 3rd pair next month. My current pair was purchased on August 26th, so I got some good use out of them.
Update: Just grabbed another pair and tried on a half size smaller in the shop just to see - too small for me - immediately took them off as my toes were right up against the tip of the shoe.
