Light but durable adidas shoes - Feather II?

[bigbanger]

I've been wearing the Barricade IIs on and off for years and think they're one of the best tennis shoes I've ever used. I recently bought a pair of Limited Edition IVs and love the looks, but don't find them as comfortable as the IIs (some pinching on the top of the foot due to bunching of the stiff upper) and they feel a bit clunky. So I'm looking for a lighter adidas shoe that has decent durability (don't care if it's built like a tank like the IVs) and good comfort. I tried on the CC Ultimate III but found it too narrow in the forefoot. I love the look of the new black/orange Feather II and it sounds like it might be sized more generously in the forefoot so this may be an option. Can anybody tell me how durable it is on hardcourts? Seems to be geared towards clay. Also, how is the fit compared to the Barricade IIs? How about lateral support?

Thanks in advance.

The soles of the NB 820s will last much longer than the Feather IIs and are lighter. You should also check out the Diadora Speedzones since they have more room in the forefoot.
