adidas shoes always run half a size smaller from my experience.
There's a big difference between models, so you have to be more specific. Barricades tend to run big/wide in the forefoot but fairly true to length. The Genius runs narrower and higher in the arch. The Feather runs long and skinny. Similarly, Nikes vary a bit, too. The Balistecs tend to be flat and somewhat wider than the Vapors, which are higher in the arch and smaller.
That comment isn't really helpful, as every foot has different needs. For every person who feels as you do, there are many who feel the exact opposite. It would be more helpful to the OP to provide specific and factual information and not to assume your subjective impressions apply to everyone.

Hmm, it depends on your feet (mine are quite wide).
For me Fila are as they should be (UK size 9 to 9.5 fits), Adidas fit a size small (always go for 10s in Adidas, this is the case for Barricade Vs, Tirand IIIs and Ambition IVs) and Nike seemed to be smaller than that (tried on some City Courts a while ago, I tried a 10 and they were too small).
Best to try some on in a shop and see how each brand fits, then you can mail order stuff with a little more confidence.

That is your opinion. I find the Barricades perfect at least the "Original" and the IVs. I just order a V to find out the fit. If they are like the "IV"; I going to order another 5 pairs.
