New Shoes... Which ones?

[Hewitt Aussie]

O.K, so my barricade IV have a hole in them and it is two weeks after the 6 months that the durability was guaranteed. So i am in the market for a new pair of shoes, and i have narrowed it down to 3 kinds of shoes.
Barricade V's- Top choice so far
Nike Air Max Breathe Cage 1
Nike Air Max Breathe Cage 2
Now i would really like the nike's if they were more durable, but a want a comfortable shoe that will last me around 5 months. I play about 12 hours a week. I liked the barricade 4's, and the barricade 5's sound even better with them being lighter and a bit more of a snug fit. Tell me which shoe you think i should get. Any other recommendations welcome.

What's the difference between Cage 1 and Cage 2?

 

[Octavian]

the only difference between the cage and cage 2 (to me personally) is the cage 1 is lighter but the cage 2 has more cushion and stability i like the cage 2 over the 1 but thats just me

I don't have them in my posession yet but i'd read up on the asics gel resolutions. I just ordered a pair today and I can't wait to play with them!

If durability is your primary concern, you are unlikely to find a more durable shoe than the Barricade V. The pair I tried on felt more comfortable than the Barricade IV.

The Cage II is a very tempting option, though. It is also a very comfortable shoe, although I don't think it'll hold up as well as the Barricade.

In my opinion its not worth buying the most expensive shoes out there! They get worn so quickly. My advice is buy an average fairly priced pair, but buy quite a few sets and rotate the usage!

The top rage brands use their long wording.... to good effect but most of them get worn out faster than a solid cheaper alternative.

Just my opinion, but I'd go with the Barricade V's, but if you wanna save money you could always buy some Barricade IV's, although its not that much cheaper.

If you're not planning on using the warranty, you might as well get cheap Barricade IV's from an unauthorized dealer or something.
