Comments: If you have flat feet or wide feet, the arch support for the shoes will pinch you. Not at first but after
an hour or so of playing, you will feel it. The shoes did not wrap around my heel well. It seems like the shoes have 7
eyelets instead of 6. Also, the toe jam issue stated by TW testers does occur if you stop short after sprinting. Get them on
From: Joe, 2/16
Comments: I think the problem was that some people were used to the 7s and the 8s are quite different. The
8s worked really well for me. No toe issue jamming, I guess some people say to order a size up. I find them to be a bit
more stable than the 5s and a longer lasting upper. Don't get me wrong I like the 5s which have a lighter feel and they have
worked out well too. I wouldn't be put off by the negative reviews. The 8s have been well-worth it.
From: Zebazeba, 12/15
Comments: A word of advice -- if you need support and want to keep your feet healthy, stay away from these
8s -- they are not nearly as good as the Barricade 7s. Stick to the 7s -- they are among the best and most stable shoes
ever produced.
From: Anonymous, 12/15
Comments: Fantastic shoe, but definitely some growing pains. Took a long time to break in, and kept banging
my toes until I started to wear 2 pairs of socks. Now I have zero issues, and will likely stock up on these. I have narrow
feet, which may have been part of the problem. The famous Barricade 5s cost me my toe nails several times. the best part,
I've had these shoes at least a year, and you'd be hard pressed to guess I'd had them a month. Sure, they're not the
lightest shoe out there, but that is really the only downside to them now that theyre broken in.
From: Jd, 12/15
Comments: I'm normally a long suffering guy when it comes to shoes. I agree with the commenters here who
say they run small. I'd guess at least a 1/2 size small. They gave me pain in my big toe and discouraged me from pursuing
balls all-out.
From: Tim, 11/15
Comments: I didn't like them at first (as I preferred the previous versions) but they grew on me. They have
lasted for months and have held up well. I got the 5 Classics a few weeks ago and while I like them too, maybe even a bit
more, I'd be shocked if they last as long as the 8s. In fact given a choice, I'd probably go with the 8s again.
From: LukeyLuke, 9/15
Comments: The Barricade 8 is a great shoe. I have had the 7 and now the 8 and I must say they are equally as
good. I play about 3-4 times and week and these last me a year or more. You cannot beat the Barricades for their stability,
comfort or durability.
From: FedEx Part 2, 8/15
Comments: All the negative comments on this thread about the adidas Barricade 8 are true for me too. I
purchased a size 12, which is the size I normally wear in every other shoe, and they are too short! They fit more like a size
11 or 11.5 at best. Even while lacing them up as tight as I possibly can, my toe is smashing against the front of the shoe
causing bruising and cramping. Torture. They are absolutely unwearable even to walk my dog. Someone on the adidas
design team apparently can't measure properly, and somehow this slipped through quality control. Tennis Warehouse
refused a refund but offered a 30% discount on my next pair since I had already worn them. So I called adidas, where they
simply credit the amount paid for the shoe towards the full $155 price on their website. So I purchased for $80 through
Tennis Warehouse, but must pay $155 for a larger size through adidas. Utter waste of money. Don't buy this shoe.
From: Anon, 5/15
Comments: The Barricade 8s were a new experience for me when I first got them a little while back. They were
my first "real" tennis shoes, (not some random brand from Payless). Though they are true to size in length, I feel that the
toe box was a little larger than expected. And for the durability, I'm a pretty terrible toe dragger and had gone through
several pairs of shoes before. The Barricade 8s lasted for about a month and a half in comparison to two hours which was
a definite plus in durability. Stability was excellent, but the weight was certainly new. A good shoe for people who run
through shoes quickly but maybe not for someone who is new to tennis shoes.
From: Shintaro, 5/15
Comments: Follow-up from John on 4/15...adidas sent me the Barricade V Classic as a replacement for the
Barricade 8 that was not wearable to me. I only had to pay for tax. And the replacement Barricade 5 shoes does come
with a 6
months outsole warranty. I am now a satisfied customer. The Barricade 8 has a roomy (wide) forefoot area, which allows
the foot
to slide forward and toe jam. So I had to tie the shoes tighter to hold the foot in place to prevent toe jam. But tying the
tighter also tightens the shoes around the arch and ankles, thus the rubbing of the skin raw. I have narrow feet, and this
shoe is
not working for me or most likely for people with narrow feet. But it should work for people with wider feet. A tennis friend
mine is also using this shoes, and he said he has broken it in after over a month and it is soft now. But he is using two
pairs of
socks and he does not tie his shoes as tight as I. He also bought it half a size big to prevent toe jamming. He does not run
hard as I do, not many people do, as I will stop on a dime all the time during playing tennis. The harder one stops, the
more the
feet will slide forward. I cannot wear two pairs of socks because the socks bunch up and pinch on the skin. And because
I run too
hard, it is easier to anything to rub the skin off badly. But I do love the Barricade V Classic. One cannot go wrong with the
From: John D, 5/15
Comments: I've been wearing Barricades for years and continue to love them with these shoes. They have
lateral support which is probably the most important to me due to the constant lateral movements in the game. It looks
heavy but
doesn't feel heavy at all. It has some mesh and my feet always feel cool and comfortable.
From: Naveed, 4/15
Comments: I bought these because of the 6 months outsole warranty despite user feedbacks of raw skin
and toe jamming thinking maybe it may work for me. Boy did I suffer (tortured). I have put up with many bad shoes
because of
not wanting to throw away bad shoes (and money) but these adidas Barricade 8s are so bad that I had to get rid of them
because I
could not endure the torture anymore. I have been playing tennis for over 20 years. I am at least a 4.5, probably more like
a 5.0,
with blistering fast forehand winners. I am fast on my feet and can skid around the court on tennis shoes. I can beat up a
pair of
of shoes in 3 months easy. I usually can tough out a bad pair of shoes but I met my match with the adidas Barricade 8. I
had to
get rid of them after 3.5 weeks. I thought I could break them in, but nope, they only break my feet and my will to endure
the pain
and torture. What is wrong with the shoes? 1) It rubbed off the skin around my ankle, on all four sides (front, back over
Achilles tendon, and both sides), in turned my feet raw red because it just keep rubbing. The pain occurs with movement
so it is
very painful to play tennis. 2) The shoes also rub the sides of my arches. It completely took the skin off so only soft
exposed skin is left. It blister skin is completely rubbed off. 3) The medial (inner) side wall is shorter than the lateral side
so when tying the laces tight enough to keep from toe jamming, the arches are pushed to the lateral side of the shoes, thus
compressing my arches and toes against the curved toe box. So now the skin over my toes are getting blisters because of
rubbing. After a day's play, and the adrenaline subsides, my arches are so compressed that they hurt so much that I can
walk. When I take off these the Barricade 8 shoes, I immediately feel relief of arch pain. But it takes hours before I can
normally again. I actually tried wearing 2 pairs of sock but that did not prevent the painful skin denudation or the arch
pain. So I
resorted to taping my feet with sports tape to prevent the skin denudation. But the tape would come off with movements
and it
does not stop the rubbing pain. It was such a hassle to have to tape my feet up before playing tennis. I thought I could
break it in
but I was wrong. I could not endure the torture anymore after 3.5 weeks of 4 hours a day, 3 days per week use.
I called the adidas 800 number. Someone there told me to send in the shoes and he gave me credit for the cost of the
shoes. He
did not tell me I had to use it on their website adidas.com and that their website charges full price. When I got the credit, I
realized that I could not even buy the cheapest tennis shoes at adidas.com with the credit I was given. And there are no
warranty on the shoes on adidas.com website even though there are at other websites. So I called up adidas again and
told them
that the credit is insufficient and that I would be happy if they would send me a different model shoes with a 6 months
warranty. They told me that it was too bad for me but that is the best they can do for me. I asked to speak to their
and was transferred to a voicemail but never got a return phone call from the supervisor. I called them back and spoke to
adidas Consumer Relations Manager (Marshall) and he told me that he is the highest person at adidas who would hear my
problem. He said if I want a pair of shoes from them I would have to spend more money on their website. It would cost
another $90, in addition to their credit, to buy my specific model shoes.
From: John, 4/15
Comments: I had a pair of Barricade 7s which were a little too big for me at size 11.5. These fit true to size for
at 11.5. A they're comfortable for me despite the negative reviews here.
From: Nick, 4/15
Comments: I have a pair of these and it is true, my toes jam into the ends and are bruised from these shoes.
From: Roger, 3/15
Comments: I have been a Barricade guy for several years, but this version is not great in the toe box. Minimal
cushioning, and my toes moved around too much. But, the midsole is good. I am going to try another brand. I liked the
versions better.
From: Charles, 3/15
Comments: Bought these shoes because they felt really good initially. Almost sent them back due to a little
heel slip
and some slight toe jam up front. But after putting in my SuperFeet inserts, they were fine. I have worn them to play in
twice and
they are breaking in nicely. You may need to bend back the inner upper fold (last inner eyelet) near the ankle as it seems to
initially. But that is working itself out. I have a wide foot, narrow heel and i run all over the court. Im also 5'11" and 200 lbs
these will support my frame well.
From: Anon, 2/15
Comments: I don't think these run true to size. I had to wear a lightweight sock. They are still not comfortable
and I
don't find them to be well cushioned. I wish adidas would bring back the old design.
From: Robert, 2/15
Comments: These are one of the most durable tennis shoes I've ever owned. I have put 45 hours on my pair
there is minimal signs of wear on the outsole. These will go the distance in terms of 6 month durability guarantees.
traction and lateral support. The outsole also make a ton of chirping noises on short steps and split steps. Toe jamming is
on the Barricade 8's if you tighten the laces too tight. Through experimenting, I've found the shoe performs best when the
are a little loose and not wearing double socks. Toe jamming is now minimal and my foot moves around a tiny bit when I
them this way but the issue very minor and hasn't affected the way I play. If you double sock regularly, you may have to go
size up. I'm a 4.0 all court player.
From: Gordon, 1/15
Comments: Worst tennis shoe ever for one reason: painful toe jams. Got these for the support (which is great),
it's costing me a few toenails. I read the reviews about the toe jam issue and didn't pay attention since I've never really had
problem before. The hype is real. These are going in the trash along with the socks they've bloodied.
From: Justin, 1/15
Comments: I got a pair of these at the adidas company store. I realy liked the snug feel all around my foot.
also felt much lighter than Babolat shoes which I was using at that time. They felt great during the game at first, until I
realized I
have developed huge blisters in the arch area after 40 minutes of play. Later, I had to trim the insoles a bit and the rubbing
in the
arch area reduced so I can use them. Still, I think the problem that the shoe is too narrow in the midle and is designed for a
arch foot. My arch rests partialy on the side wall of the shoe and when I agressively bend my ankle the side wall develops a
wich in a turn causes this rubbing issue in the arch of the foot.
From: Sergei, 1/15
Comments: I love these shoes. They hurt your feet at first but once they're broken in, you won't want to take
off. They last forever. Thanks adidas.
From: Michael, 1/15
Comments: I don't know why all the bad feedback for this shoe. I got them because they are Barricades and
were on sale. I'm a 4.0 player and they fit my medium width and arch feet fine. I haven't experienced most of the negative
effects that other reviewers complain about. I've worn Barricade 2, 4, 5 and 7s. The 8s feel closest in fit to the original 5s
they are slightly roomier than other Barricade models. They have slightly less upper stability than the 7s but still outperform
shoes in the market in that area. Traction is at least as good as the 7 if not slightly better. Durability seems to be very good.
soles show only minimal wear after a month of use, 3-4 hours a week. The 8s have slightly less aggressive treads and
won't outlast the 7s which have treads like the Grand Canyon though. The only negative aspect of the shoe I've found for
my feet
is that the heels slipped a little while breaking in because I have low heels. They fit much better now with minimal slippage
break in. I haven't experienced painful toe jamming yet with sudden stops like others have complained about although I
have felt
slight slippage and my toes touching the front on hard stops because of the roominess. I wear 2 layers of socks for better
cushioning: Drymax socks on the inside to keep feet dry and Nike cotton over them because cotton slips less than other
An area adidas could have done better in with this model is the thin padding. They don't feel as plush as the other
Barricades I've
used yet these aren't uncomfortable with no pressure points because they do fit quite well.
From: Clarence, 1/15
Comments: Used them for less than an hour and could not continue playing because I got huge blisters on
feet in the arch area. Seems the arch support is way too high for me.
From: Sergei, 1/15
Comments: I have never posted feedback on anything, but I feel it is necessary on this shoe. I am a 4.5 that
been playing for over 30 years and this is the worst shoe I have ever worn. adidas, if you are listening, this is not a typical
Barricade tennis shoe. It is bulkier than past models and the toe box is the worst thing of all. I thought it was just me, but
bruising my big toes to no end, I had enough. It is like a solid piece of concrete in the toe box. I wore this shoe for
probably 3-4
months and threw them in the trash. They still had plenty of life, but they needed to see a landfill. I liked the materials, but
feel and abuse your feet take is not worth it. adidas really needs to develop a new Barricade. I have worn all the past
models and
this is an awful model. I went with the adidas adizero CC Feather III and it is a major improvement. Do not buy this shoe
for the 6
month sole warranty because you won't make it.
From: Erik, 12/14
Comments: Not a fan! I guess I have a bunion on the right foot and where other material can stretch over
time, the
plastic/rubber material doesn't seem to and causes pain. Also, the padding in the heel on one of the shoes seems to slip a
bit. I
like a lot of padding but not at the expense of it feeling loose at all.
From: Todd, 12/14
Comments: The eyelet-ankle-rub issue is real. It is really bad. I have been wearing Barricades over 10 years,
model 2. So little cushion compared to other past models.
It is a big disappointed.
From: KNguyen, 11/14
Comments: I have always been an adidas kind of guy. Been playing tennis now for about 2 years. I had only
the lower level adidas shoes in the past, but decided to step up and get some Barricades. When I first played in them, they
a bit small in the toe box and a bit narrow. After about 3 weeks of using them occasionally, they are finally getting
comfortable to
wear. A very stable and supportive shoe. I use Superfeet green arch supports in all my shoes, so no arch problems. Break
in is very
similar to high end hiking shoes. Once you get them broke in, you're in for a long use period. If you want a shoe that is
comfortable out of the box, this is not the shoe for you. But if you want a shoe that will last, then this is a great choice. I
used them like 12 times and the sole shows no wear at all!
From: Todd, 11/14
Comments: Absolutely stay away from these shoes! My experience was similar to many of the reviews, for
reason your toes keep hitting the front and I have badly bruised my toes. The break-in period is also just too long. The
shoes look
great, but it is a failure otherwise.
From: Mithun, 11/14
Comments: I would stay away from these. I had these shoes 2-3 weeks before I began to see problems. I
know if the insoles began to allow my feet to slide more or what, but I began to feel the stubbing of toes in the front. It got
bad. I wanted to tough it out, try an extra pair of socks, etc, but when my toenails were black and blue, I had to give up on
making them work. Disappointing for a high price shoe.
From: Brett, 11/14
Comments: If I could punch a tennis shoe in the face, then I would go up to my closet and tell my Barricade 8s
(both pairs, mind you) to put up their dukes. I'm one of those people that has to brand match their gear head-to-toe, and
been a loyal adidas supporter since Run-DMC's Raising Hell came out, so naturally I was bound to get into the Barricade 8
the time came. Of course I loved the Barricade 5, had a strange affinity for the Barricade 6 (despite endless break-in
period), and I
absolutely worshiped the Barricade 7 (still do). The Barricade 8 is a travesty, basically a prescription for Plantar Fasciitis,
and just a
failed concept altogether. A damn shame too, as they are very sharp aesthetically. I won't waste my time with the
Barricade 8.5,
and am just glad to have two pairs of 7's that are still holding up.
From: JB, 11/14
Comments: Worst tennis shoe I've ever had the displeasure of purchasing. My original thoughts when I first
them on were that these were going to take some time to break in and get used to. After several weeks of trying to break
them in
and total discomfort, I threw them in the closet and went back to my worn out Prince T-14s. I would buy another pair of T-
14s but
they have gone out of production. I will never purchase another pair of adidas tennis shoes.
From: Dwight, 10/14
Comments: I have been wearing the Barricade since the "2" came out. Some fitted my feet better than the
others but
they have always been impeccable designed and made for performance tennis with excellent support and relative comfort.
On the
other hand, the "8" feels like cheap tennis shoes. It's hot and has little cushioning. The 8th generation is many steps
backward for
Barricade. It is regrettable that adidas has abandoned their flagship line of tennis shoes to meet the industry norm that a
design must be introduced every two years. This new shoes has nothing to compare to the Barricade 5.
From: Chanh, 10/14
Comments: Great shoes! The only bad thing about this shoe is that it yellows quickly. But overall, a great
shoe. I've
gotten complements on half of the matches I've played.
From: Nathan, 10/14
Comments: Super durable shoe. I can't wear them other than on clay though. I started having tightness in my
and lower back and tried wearing another pair to see if it was the shoes. It was. It's unfortunate for me, these shoes are
durable and I feel really locked in but the way they are built just doesn't work with my body.
From: David, 9/14
Comments: Loyal Barricade consumer all the way back to the 2s. These shoes have a different look but
pressure on
the toes from the top and sides. Needed to go a 1/2 size up from my normal 10.5, so be aware of that. I love the look and
although they are different from the 5s (my favorites). Glad they removed the pastic hard band from the eyelet area that left
nasty cut after 2 hours on the court!
From: Whiskeyrunner, 9/14
Comments: Quite horrible shoes. I have one trick though to avoid the inside upper eyelet that digs into your
ankle -
- use a pincher, fold the top line of upper inside of the shoe outwards, pinch and hold for let's say 30 minutes. The
eyelet/top line
will naturally bend outwards instead of inwards. It helps!
From: Magnus, 9/14
Comments: Nice shoe but runs a little narrow. Not good for people with slightly wider feet.
From: Shawn, 8/14
Comments: Break-in time was rough. I liked the shoes other than that. I hated the B7 because the arch was
high. The B8 broke-in faster. It's heavy but not overly heavy. I don't know why they get a lot of hate. Other than that, I loved
shoes. Even though some parts sucked, I would still wear them again and recommend them to other people.
From: Nikhil, 8/14
Comments: After a fairly long and uncomfortable break-in period (2-3 weeks, playing 3 times a week), I can
say I'm
finally comfortable in these shoes. The stability and traction are top-notch and the shoe feel pretty good. As always with
Barricades, I can't even see the beginning of wear after 20 sessions of 1-2 hours. The size was true to size for me.
From: EM, 8/14
Comments: Not a fan. The lace system loosens and caused movement that resulted in blisters. Loved my B7s
though they did take a while to break in. Miss the old construction.
From: John, 8/14
Comments: Bought these a few weeks ago and I felt the need to come and leave feedback. I hate these
shoes. I'm
6'2", 200 lbs, a 4.0, and play on hard courts almost every day. Knees are always sore the next day, had to add insoles for
cushioning (still aching knees). The tongue of the shoe is thin and gives my foot a numb feeling if laces are too tight, and
slips if too loose. There is no happy medium. I sweat a lot and these shoes weigh about 5 pounds each after a match. I had
Nike Vapor 9s before these and loved them (except for the durability) -- they were super light and felt like a glove on my
Barricade 8s look great, are super durable, and have the outsole warranty, but I will definitely be trying another shoe soon.
From: Payton, 8/14
Comments: These shoes take many hours to break in and it was a painful process for me. Also be sure to
check the
pictures showing what constitutes enough wear for the warranty to kick in. It is pretty ridiculous. Most people would
replace their
shoes way before they were that trashed. I would not recommend them.
From: CT, 8/14
Comments: The Barricade 7 was excellent and adidas probably tried to push the limit a bit further but it
even match it. Bought them in a size 9 and I have a normal width foot. I find these to be designed with larger feet in mind: I
never jammed my toes in the 7s or 6s and taking 1/2 a size smaller would make them too small. This, I think is due to the
sole/base that these were designed on. The "claw" on the front exterior side that is supposed to provide more stability
an issue as your foot isn't properly tuck into the shoes, the rounded-off edge of the claw provides an opportunity for rolling
The 7s had a sharper angle and weren't showing that problem. Still a very good shoe, good looks, and very durable but
not as good as the 7s for me. Hopefully the 9 fixes those some problems.
From: Guillame, 8/14
Comments: Much more flexible upper equals more comfort but less stability than the 7. There is a reason
sticks with the 7s. If you play intense on a hard court and want stabiliity but with a little break in buy the 7s. The 8s have
room in the toe box and don't feel as rock solid as the 7's but are definetly more comfortable. My feet do take a little more
of a
beating with the 8s when you get intense on the hard court. Both good shoes although one seems like it is for comfort and
more for stability. Good luck!
From: Scott, 8/14
Comments: I ordered these a half size bigger just in case and they fit great. If you have a wide foot it will be
but when playing you won't mind it. It's a great shoe, I strongly recommend these shoes.
From: Nathan, 8/14
Comments: Go a half size up, or you end up with the toe jamming problem. Low comfort is the tradeoff for
supreme stability and confidence. I've played in them for about 10 hours and the toe looks brand new. Need to add an
insole for
cushioning, though. Knees are sore the next day. Other than that, it's the best shoe I've worn. Hands down. Also, I have E-
feet and have had no problems. This is something I feel is not highlighted in the reviews that I've read/watched. Seems like
of these reviewers have medium or narrow width feet. Anyway, if you have E or EE width feet, give the Barricade a try.
From: Porter, 7/14
Comments: I just played with these and I had to comment. I had read many conflicting reviews and so I
thought I
should put in another one. I loved them. I have only played with them today. They seemed already broken in. They were
then the 7s. My feet felt closer to the ground and more stable. Ankle felt great. I didn't have any complaints about the 7s,
but this
is nicer. I did slip a bit, so maybe the tread grip might turn out to be different, but that is being especially critical. I am glad
continues to remove any stitching at the top of the toe box since I rub the top of the shoe when I hit my backhand. This
allows the
upper to stay nice till I have destroyed the tread. Thanks.
From: Gordon, 7/14
Comments: I'm 29 and have wide feet UK size 10.5/11. I'm hard on my shoes. Between 2013-2014 I wore
the following shoes: Nike Court Ballistics 4.3 (eyelets began breaking within a month and bubble burst), Nike Air Cage
burst followed by intense pain in knees), Asics Gel Res 5 (nice fit but really stretches out and tread disappears gradually),
the sole
compacts very early. Overall a good shoe. adidas Barricade 5 reissue (eyelets popped. Manufacture error. Returned) and
now the
Barricade 8. The Barricade 8s are really nice if they fit you. Because of the plastic mesh upper, they don't lose shape over
Low to the ground feel with high heel to keep you on your toes. Quality design. No fabric eyelets or bursting bubble made-
break nonsense. These Barricades are made to last. One of the best tennis shoe experiences yet for me. Suitable for wide
feet. I've
had these for a few months now and no problems. The tread at the bottom seems to be ever lasting.

Comments: Just bought these shoes and returned them because my toes were hitting the front. Ordered a

larger and my toes are still hitting. I believe the sharper angle of the back of the shoe pushes my foot forward. I plan on
returning the second pair. It's a nice looking shoe and a great sale price, but the fit is terrible.
From: MA, 7/14

on the court, great stability and the herringbone tread pattern is perfect for clay/har-tru courts. I am very happy!

Comments: Great looking shoe. For me they run a little short in length and I had to send a pair of 13 1/2 back.
try a pair of 14s and hopefully they will fit.
From: Douglas, 7/14
Comments: Worst durability and heel comfort among the Barricades in the toe area. I have used the 6 and 7
in the past and both were used with moderate to heavy play time and the 6s and 7s lasted me about 3-5 months, and I run
entirely on the upper toe. I recently purchased the 8s back in early May and the fit on the ankle was straight murder,
rubbing and raw ankles for days, and by mid June, the toe portion has completely run through. I purchased the Team 3s
switching to the 8s hoping for a lighter shoe and the Teams honestly lasted for the same amount of time. Even with the 6
durability guarantee, I don't feel this shoe is worth getting a free replacement if it requires the same amount of pain and
durability. Do yourself a favor and save yourself about 70-80 bucks and just get the Teams -- they are lighter, more
out of the box and no raw ankles.
From: Kaipoi, 7/14
Comments: Great shoe right out of the box. I just played for two hours and am very surprised how comfortable
were. Great wrap around the ankle, support and traction. A bit on the warm side, but all good. They seem to have more
than the Barricade 7s.
From: Pat, 6/14
Comments: These are the most uncomfortable Barricades to date. I loved the 7s, but the 8's are awful. These
made my big toe nail fall completely off. I will never wear the 8s again.
From: Alex, 6/14
Comments: I have always worn Nike shoes for running, basketball, or cross-training due to my narrow (Men's
foot. I started wearing adidas tennis shoes about 10 years back for durability; not fit. With a thicker sock like Thorlos, the
heel fit wasn't too bad. The Barricade IV, V, and VI were designed with a more narrow heel counter, but these Barricade 8s
have a
wider fit like the B IIIs. The best feature of this model is the unbelievable light weight and breathability from the mesh

weight difference is noticeable after 90 minutes of singles play. As usual, the sole will probably never wear out.

court. Used them on the court today for first time. I have had none of the problems described in other feedback. They
well, I had no toe jamming, no eyelets digging into my ankles. But I am surprised how stiff the shoe is with little cushioning
on the
sole. I am a first time Barricade user and play 2-3 times a week as an aggressive senior. My foot is 4.1" wide vs 3.9" -- I
recommended these for a 'D' width foot in size 8.5 -- I had no problems and found this to be very stable.

Comments: I have tried out these sneakers for the last three months after wearing the KSwiss Ultrascendor for
last 7-8 years. I'm a 4.0 guy playing 3-4 times a week. I have to agree with all the negative reviews. My feet and legs
really felt
beat up wearing these shoes. My toes got jammed, arches felt cramped, and I started getting some Achilles tendonitis. I
switch out my sneakers around every 5-6 months but I just threw these away yesterday and will try the Asics Gel
Resolution 5.

From: Justin, 6/14

want to judge, but personally, I don't lace up my shoes tight at all because most of my stability comes from the sole of the

improvement over the 7s. The shoe grips very well when you take off and at the same time slides beautifully (on hard

shoe's sole closely reminds me of the Nike 2k11/2k12 line (except more durable) which I adored. Now to the negatives,
seems to be the trend. The fit of the forefoot is strange, I think it is due to the way the shoe is curved but it doesn't quite
properly with my foot and causes the toe jamming. I also think that because the front of the shoe sits so low, the foot is
likely to slide down toward a jam. This, on occasion, is unbearable I will admit, especially if ones toe nails aren't trimmed
short, but it did become less painful as the shoe loosened up. I tried to fix the toe jamming by doubling up the socks but
shoe runs small and the fit was too tight. I have ordered a pair half size larger and will try those with double socks -- I
believe the
issue wont be so bad then. Perhaps the 8+ will address this issue as well? Let's hope for the sake of this beautifully stable

Comments: I don't what most people here are talking about, but to me these shoes are better than B7s and
B6s for

other problems. Really liked these shoes! They have great support!
From: Max, 6/14
Comments: As a long time Barricade wearer, I was interested to try the 8s. I had read all these reviews and
the toe jamming and the issue with the last lace eyelet. Despite this, I was willing to try on a pair at the store. From the
moment I
laced them up I felt the eyelet rubbing against the ankle and my toes were jammed into a small toe space. The shop
advised that I loosen the laces or take the laces out of the last eyelet. For obvious reasons this was silly advice.

From: JT, 5/14
Comments: I've been wearing the Barricade line for about 10 years now. The 8 series has been the most
durable of
anything since the 5 series. I find the traction to be outstanding and the stance is stable on hard cuts. It is true these shoes
are on
the stiffer side. But as a 4.5+ level player weighing over 200 lbs, they broke in for me after maybe 2 sets. Which is
because it was after only 2 sets that I noticed my Nike Air Max Cage and Asics Gels beginning to wear out. This is the only
I've tried that I could see lasting longer than six months. I'm in month 5 as I write this.
From: Pete, 5/14
Comments: I have been a fan of the Barricades since the 2s came out. Barricades have been known to be
and the traction remains great as the shoes wear out with more play time. That's what I love about the 8s. However, please
aware that these shoes will blister your ankles. It is a major flaw and problem for the majority of customers. The corner of
the last
lace hole will dig into the inner side of each ankle. My skin started peeling and then blistered bright red. Now, wearing them
is just
unbearable with pain. I've only worn them for 3 hours of play. So warning -- take my word for it. The only way is send them
to adidas in exchange for an adidas gift card (non-cash), so you're stuck with adidas. Stick with the 7s. Or wait for the 9s.
From: David, 5/14
Comments: I have to say I agree with the negative reviews on here. I absolutely hate the Barricade 8s. I have
not had
the comfort problems that others have brought up, but when it comes to traction these are by far one of the worst shoes I
ever worn! I have slipped numerous times wearing these and I have to say that it made me actually stop cutting hard to the
because of the frequency of the slips. I have wiped out at least once per hitting session when wearing these shoes. Then
thankfully adidas rereleased the Barricade 5s and not a single slip! I'm a very fast and quick player, so excellent traction is
extremely important, and I have to say that the Barricade 8s have failed. I will not wear these shoes again.
From: Nick, 4/14
Comments: I have worn Barricades since the 2s first came out. Unfortunately, the 2s remain the best
ever. I have bought the 4s, 5s and 7s. When I sent the 7s back under the 6 month wear warranty adidas sent me a pair of
8s. This is, by far, the worst shoe I have every worn. They were uncomfortable out of the box and seem to get more
the more I wear them. After 15 years, I'm done wearing Barricades.

Comments: I should have read these comments before I ordered the Barricade 8. I love the Barricade line and
been using them for a few years (5, 6, 7) so I didnt think much about reading the reviews. Boy, was I disappointed! I had
the exact
same issue noted by others -- the laces/eyelets dug into my ankles to the point where I put on bandages at the start of the
match. I will return these and see if I can get a Barricade 7 pair.

is the only company out there that makes a decent tennis shoe in size 16 and it is a shame that the Barricade 8 is a total
disappointment. You've been in the shoe business way too long to be making these kinds of mistakes. Go back to the

or 7 mold and get some quality control on your sizes please.
From: Ray, 3/14
Comments: As a longtime Barricade wearer, I was a bit concerned reading all the negative reviews about toe-
jamming and general discomfort. After playing in my new 8s, I'm suffering from severe discomfort -- the shoe just seems
narrow, less stable, extremely stiff and uncomfortable. I've tried my orthotics and adidas' insoles, but there seems to be a
bump in
the footbed, which causes extreme discomfort. The toe-jamming phenomenon that other readers have cited is also quite
real. The
difference between the 7s and 8s seems like night and day. Although I'm laced up tight (and the sizing seems correct), my
just seems to wobble in the 8s. I actually stopped mid-set last night and changed back to my worn-out 7s. I'm going to try
break the 8s in and see if there's any improvement, but I'm not hopeful at all since all the 7s that I've had have been
right out of the box.
From: Bill, 3/14
Comments: After wearing out a pair of 7s, I bought a pair of 8s (in the same size) here from TW. The ankle
issue is
intense. At first it was on the inside of both ankles just under the protruding bone. I thought it would wear in over time. I
doubled up on socks, left the last lacing out, even pulled the padding out to get lower in the shoe. I have gone as far as to
padding around the inside area of that right shoe. For me, that right foot, inside spot, just rear of the last eyelet continues
to rub
the ankle red raw. Very disappointing. This is my first online comment.
From: Anthony, 3/14
Comments: To respond to Glenn and Brian both, I have the B8s and over the past two weeks the exact same
problem has cropped up really badly. I have seen people suggest the sole gets compacted through wear, and your foot sits
low enough to where the upper medial eyelet starts digging into your foot. One guy online said to tighten all your laces
tight except the topmost medial eyelet (which you do up loosely) to retain stability without the pain. Haven't tried it yet. In
case, thinking of getting an insert for my right foot so I can lift my foot a little higher, which will hopefully alleviate the ankle
Mid-match today, I had to actually change to an old Wilson shoe because the pain got so bad with the B8s. I have a big
bruise on
my right foot just next to the inner (medial) ankle.
From: Kyle, 3/14
Comments: Horrible shoe! For decades, I was wearing only Nike tennis shoes, from Agassi's Air Tech
Challenge up
to Nadal's Courtballistic 4.3. For some reason (being a Nole fan), I switched to adidas and thought that the latest model
should be
the best. What a great mistake! To be serious, the shoes are beautiful, I have the black/red/white edition, but, my ankles
hurt all
the time, even with 2 pairs of socks. These shoes are stiff and heavy, simply unconfortable. No comparison to Nike
especially the
bad cushioning. So I tried another adidas, the B7 silver edition from 2013 and those shoes are great! No stiffnes, minimum
in time and top cushioning. And they look great, I like them very much! I think that's the reason why Novak doesn't switch
to the
B8, they are horrible.
From: Guenter, 3/14
Comments: I love these! Best performing tennis shoes I've ever had. Change of direction and stability is
simply the
best I have ever experiened and I've had mine for 4 months now with no sign of wear. I had a slight problem with my left
big toe
jamming but I took more care in lacing them tighter in the forefoot and that went away. Great shoes.
From: John, 3/14
Comments: I bought the Barricade 8 three weeks ago, and after a 2 hour match I was certain that i would be
returning them. The shoe lace eye lits were tearing into my ankle and causing intense pain. It was a shame because the
profile and wide sole were exactly what I was looking for. I decided to play in a heavier sock and to try an break in the
shoe by
wearing them around the house. Fortunately, the shoe loosend up and the ankle pain is now gone. the shoes are keepers,
but I
wish adidas had done a better job in building the shoe with softer materials where the ankle and shoe lace eyelits meet.

The Barricade 8 would cut into my feet around the arch, they are extremely stiff around the top eye holes and they pinched
my big
toe on both feet so much, my toe nails turned black. I thought maybe I had the wrong size, but I have double checked that

feel. I am in search of a better pair of shoes.

Comments: A lot of cushioning and support! l play high school varsity tennis and rely on my footwork a lot.
Barricade 8 doesn't show any sign of wear on the outsole after 3 months (on average of 6 hours per week). The only
problem l had
with these shoes was that my toes were jamming into the shoes if l take a rapid stop even with 2 pairs of Nike cushioned
socks. l
would rate this shoe 4.5 out of 5 overall and strongly recommend it!

Comments: I have been a user of the Barricade shoes for years now. This time I am extremely disappointed
the new material they use in the upper shoe. The plastic material they use instead of the fabric is very stiff. This has

blister in my right foot, and the support I get in my feet is terrible causing my toes to be hurt and discomfort when playing.

From: Gabriel, 2/14
Comments: I honestly do not see what all the fuss is about these shoes. Don't let all of these negative reviews
to you about these shoes. These shoes are pretty bad with the insoles that they give you. I did have that foot swimming
at first but what I did was I took one of insoles from my other shoes and actually put them under that cheap stock insole.
made my foot rise a little bit so that my foot would sit perfect inside of the shoe without sliding anywhere. This shoe
provides great support laterally and is very quick to retrieve dropshots. The shoe is relatively light compared to some of the
shoes I have played with (Prince T22 and T24) both of these shoes weighed over a pound a piece. The Barricade 8 has a
nice light
feel but all of the support a player needs. It also provides a lot of traction and is very comfy. It ventilates very well! The
definitely does a great job. I usually wear through outsoles like crazy, I seriously got through the outsole of my Prince shoes
in a
month. I've had these Barricades for two weeks and they are not showing a single sign of wear. The sides also have a
exterior, I slide a lot while playing on hard courts and these shoes definitely can handle it. I am actually kind of worried that
might not get to use the six month warranty with these shoes because they are so tough. As for breaking in, These shoes
broke in
fairly quickly, they are kind of stiff though. I like my shoes to be slightly on the stiff side though, It provides more support
forward and backward movement. I am missing the warranty card or paper that was supposed to come with so I should
handle that before hand. I rank myself to be a 4.0-4.5 player. Defintely a great shoe, don't let all of these mixed feedbacks

my feet! I have tried the CourtBallistcs by Nike and will return to their use and chalk this model as a bad experience. I will

Comments: Don't let all the negative comments make you hesitate -- give them a try! I'm a Barricade owner
of the
5, 6, 7, and now 8. I almost passed on the 8 due to the negative feedback. Because of TW's great return policy, I decided
to at
least try them. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I personally don't see what all the negative fuss is over: ["worst
ever..." "worst shoe ever..."] Really? I am a hefty 40 year-old, low-on-totem-pole 4.0. Not an excessive toe-dragger. To
me, the
base of the shoe feels like previous generations -- it takes a few hours of break-in. That's a Barricade. The upper, I like the
and can feel the air. More compliant than previous models in the forefoot; a welcome change to me. Sizing note: my foot
measures 12.5. Wore 13s in Barricades for years, and my one knock was the narrow, stiff forefoot (especially the Barricade
Took a 13.5 in the Barricade 8 to yield the correct length/width, best forefoot flex yet. Makes me wonder if I've ever had the
size. In summary, I returned to Barricades because I trust them to protect my joints against tennis wear-tear and my heavy
self. I
don't boast of extreme shoe-shredding footwork, but I usually wear down "no-warranty" shoes within a year. In my opinion,
I've only played in them twice, the improvements in ventilation and forefoot flex (Maybe related to right size?) lead me to
say that
it's potentially the best Barricade ever!

Comments: Initially and in 'stock' form these shoes are absolutely terrible -- hard, harsh and a different fit than
Barricade 7s. Once I swapped out the adidas insoles for some super cushy ones and began using much thinner socks the
are much more pleasant to wear. Excellent traction, foot stability and seemingly good durabilty. But again, I emphasize

various colors. The B5 is the best, until the B7 came along (lighter, much shorter break in and equally supportive despite
slightly less durable). But I figure 6 pairs will last me a long time.
From: Marv,1/14
Comments: I completely agree with Siegfried's comment on 1/14. I tried the Barricade 8 and immediately
my ankle! The shoe feels very high off the ground and I did not feel secure at all. Yes the traction is great, but the ease of
spraining an ankle is deal breaker for me. Perhaps if you wear an ankle brace while playing in it they might work. However,
are other shoes that have great traction without the ankle spraining problem; e.g., the Nike Courtballistec 4.3, Nike Lunar
Ballistec, and the Asics Gel Resolution 5 (all of which have outsole guarantees).
From: Prem, 1/14
Comments: The first thing I noticed when I first played with the Barricade 8 was the fact that they needed
almost no
break in period. A few minutes on the court and they felt great. The uppers are much more supple than that of the
Barricade 7.
Even though this makes the shoe much lighter and more comfortable, it also comes with a downfall. I've been wearing the
on hard courts only for about 2 months, and the side of my left shoe (around where my little toe is) has completely torn
down to the base mesh. This doesn't really affect the performance that much, but there are threads from the top layer of
going everywhere and it is just a complete mess. I do a lot of sliding on hard court and drag my left toe and am pretty
heavy on
my shoes in general. Another thing i noticed is that the inside part of my left shoe almost has a hole in it. This is probably
dragging it on the ground when I slide. I found that the outsole has held up extremely well. I play on clay a lot and do not
use the
Barricades for clay. I play on hard court probably about 10 hours a week, and my left toe has just started to get a little
slick. Also,
if I push it down, it feels a little bit squishy, like I can feel that the midsole is going to start coming through soon. But for 2
months this is very good for me as usually my shoes don't last more than a month. Overall, the Barricade 8 is more
more flexible, and lighter than the Barricade 7, but the Barricade 7 definitely has better durability in the upper and better for
draggers like me.
From: Sasha, 1/14
Comments: These are the worst Barricades ever and I have worn them all! There is no stability and your foot
all over the place. The cushioning isn't any better than the stability. I have ordered the re-released V and hopefully adidas
changed it too much otherwise I will stock up on 7s.
From: Anon, 1/14
Comments: I've been wearing Barricade 6s for the past couple years. For some reason I thought I should try

about 2-3 hitting sessions, but they weren't that bad. At first, I had some toe jamming problems but I fine-tuned the lacing
and it

From: Roy, 12/13
Comments: I have a solution for adidas. Instead of trying to make a new Barricade shoe every year or so, why
you come out with the Barricade wide toe box (like Barricade 5 and 8) and also produce the Barricade narrow toe box (like
Barricade 2 and 7)? I have the Barricade 8s and love them as well as the old 5s since I have a wider foot. I hated the 7s
since they
were too narrow for me, but others thought they were the best ever.

From: GS, 12/13
Comments: Generally speaking, I had the older model Barricades (really neat looking all white with black
maybe they were the Barricade 6) from adidas and I liked that fit the best. Now, these newer model Barricade 8s have one
problem I can't deal with -- the right shoe is rubbing the inside of my upper foot. I have played 5-6 times on a hard indoor
and they're less than 30 days old. Further, it feels as if something's also jabbing into it. The left shoe has absolutely no
though. Usually, adidas is a very comfortable, supportive and a very durable shoe. However, they're going back to TW.
It's a
shame, because I love adidas quality. I have to try something else unfortunately.
From: Harlan, 12/13
Comments: Sorry, I don't like the feel of this shoe at all. I think adidas was trying to create a lighter and a

Comments: Worst Barricade that adidas has made. I have 4 pairs of the Barricade 7s and this is unexpected
for the
Barricade series. I'm returning the shoes today. The toe is too wide. I still prefer the Barricade 7.
From: Anon, 11/13
Comments: The worst Barricade I have ever played with. The top eyelet is cut too deep causing constant pain
your ankle area and giving you blisters. The shoe is stiff and wide in the forefeet area and is lacking lateral movement
The only bright side to this model is a good heel support. Overall, poor quality shoe which is totally unexpected from the
with such a good reputation, bummer.
From: Mike, 11/13
Comments: I love this shoe. It's the best show I've worn and is worth the money.
From: Anon, 10/13
Comments: The top eyelet is an annoyance beyond belief. They dig into my ankles and I now have blisters on
sides. I can't recommend these shoes to anyone. The earlier Barricades are better.
From: JR, 10/13
Comments: I cannot believe that these are Barricade shoes. I have owned the 5, 6 and 7 models and they are
all are
way better than the 8s. The new 8 model feels like a running shoe, your foot moves all over the place, terrible stability. On
top of
this, there is something wrong with the sizing since the new 8 feels a lot tighter that the previous models. The next day
after I
received the new 8, I purchased two pairs of the Barricade 7s (the best tennis shoe I have ever tried and now on sale).
From: Orlando, 10/13
Comments: I'm coming from the Asics Gel Resolution 4. I don't really understand the negative remarks about
slipping/sliding and the "narrow" comments about the Barricade 8. I have a fairly normal foot but slightly leaning more
flat than narrow, so normally I get 11.5 for athletic shoes and 11 for casual/dress shoes. The Barricade 8 is the first tennis
since the Nike Breathe that I can actually order my true size without toe jamming, blisters or soreness on my arch. I feel like
fairly hefty, but when you need to run the comfort is there. More impressively, the shoe required no break-in right out of the
As for slipping/sliding, I have aggressive footwork and I played on a damp/misty morning the other day and didn't slip
once. I
think I'll be sticking to these shoes for the next couple of years because they're comfortable, true to size, good grip on
and has that patent Barricade durability. It's probably the most balanced shoe out there and honestly what more could you
ask for?
From: Rai, 9/13
Comments: The B8 feels narrower than the B7 in the toe area. And despite a mesh upper, it feels very hard
right out
of the box (the B7 doesn't need much break in). The price is pretty expensive when the B7 is so good (and cheaper now). I
about 7 pairs of the B5 in various colors. Skipped the B6 (too narrow of a toe box) and now have six paris of B7s in various
I hink the B7 is the best so far in terms of weight/comfort/durability.
From: Marv, 9/13
Comments: I like the looks of these shoes and since I am a fan of stability-oriented tennis shoes, I hoped that these Barricade 8s would be better than the 7s that I used to wear but never quite fell in love with. My first impression was that they were quite terrible but I kept them on for an hour to decide if I should send them back or not. I decided not to and have now used them on court. Great heel grip, but the front of the shoe is terrible. The toe jamming mentioned in the TW review is a

Did You Know? Countdown to Chanukah (11/29)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Chanukah
the Jewish Festival of Lights
Nov 29 : 02 days till Chanukah
Did you know that there is a tradition to eat oily foods on Chanukah as a gastronomical reminder of the miracle of the oil that lasted for eight days?
In Israel, the food of choice is a deep-fried jelly donut. In North America and Europe, latkes — fried potato pancakes — are commonly enjoyed.
Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days. Jewish people mark this eight-day holiday by lighting the menorah, an eight-branched candelabra, and eating foods fried in oil such as potato latkes and jelly donuts. Join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Chanukah.
Chanukah, Hanukkah, Hanaka — no matter how you spell it — the fun begins at sundown on Wednesday December 01st.

Yesterday, Rep. John Kline (R-MN), chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, introduced the first new legislation aimed at breaking down the prescriptiveness of the No Child Left Behind Act. It's a small step in the right direction, but there are two serious problems with it:
Downsizing Blog
Christina Romer's Naïve Keynesianism
President Obama's former head of the Council of Economic Advisers has taken to the pages of the New York Times to warn us against pursuing "fiscal austerity just now," particularly not spending cuts.
Cato Video on $2 Trillion in Spending Cuts
A new video produced by Cato's Caleb Brown and Austin Bragg does a typically stellar job of visualizing the alleged $2 trillion in spending cuts currently being negotiated on Capitol Hill as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
Mitch Daniels and the Federal Money Grab
For much of the nation's history, policymakers recognized that the federal government's powers were "few and defined," as James Madison noted. Issues like education and community development were largely left to the states. Unfortunately, the separation of responsibilities between the federal government and states has been eroded to the point that federal funds now account for approximately a third of total state spending. A consequence is that federal aid to the states has fostered bigger government at all levels.
Biggest Keynesian Stimulus, Slowest Recovery
The Wall Street Journal provides a page of charts today illustrating the remarkable weakness of the current U.S. economic recovery. A twin story in the paper provides comments on the recovery from two of the nation's top macroeconomists:
Federal Spending Doesn't Work
Despite ongoing federal deficits of more than $1 trillion a year, many liberals are calling for more government spending to "create jobs." At the same time, liberals are opposing budget cuts because that would supposedly hurt the economic recovery. And then there is the perennial problem of Democrats and Republicans defending spending on their particular favored programs.
Federal Government and Financial Literacy
Almost 600 pages into the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is a provision directing the Government Accountability Office to assess the feasibility of the federal government certifying organizations that provide financial literacy. The GAO released its report this week and concluded that "While a federal process for certifying financial literacy providers appears to be feasible, doing so would pose challenges."
$2 Trillion in Cuts in Perspective
Congressional Republicans have said that spending cuts must be at least as large as an increase in the debt ceiling. Negotiations over lifting the debt ceiling are ongoing, but the "magic number," so-to-speak, would be around $2 trillion in spending cuts.
Chained CPI: A Stealth Tax Increase
As we close in on congressional votes to increase the federal debt limit, negotiators are coming up with all kinds of ideas to hike taxes. (Suspiciously, they haven't revealed very many spending cut ideas so far).
$1 Trillion in Phony Spending Cuts?
In the Washington Post Friday, Ezra Klein partly confirmed what I fear the Republican strategy is for the debt-limit bill—get to the $2 trillion in cuts promised through accounting gimmicks. As I have also noted, Klein says that there is about $1 trillion in budget "savings" ($1.4 trillion with interest) to be found simply in the inflated Congressional Budget Office baseline for Iraq and Afghanistan. Klein says, "I'm told that a big chunk of these savings were included in the debt-ceiling deal" that Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Sen. Jon Kyl (D-AZ) are negotiating with the Democrats.

Share your ideas for the health and medical research review
9 October 2012
In the context of recent state and federal government reports, we now have an unprecedented opportunity to shape our vision for health and medical research through the recently announced Wills Review, which will focus on optimising the resources of all our health and medical research entities over the next 10 years.
As the review begins to take shape, we are asking for your input. What do you consider are the key issues that the review should address? Through our critical partnerships in the health system, we have, as an institution, deep insight into the challenges and opportunities facing our communities and the world. Whether you are directly involved in research, teaching or delivering services, or indirectly involved through activities such as design and urban infrastructure planning, your knowledge of the issues faced will be valuable.
A simple web form has been developed to capture your responses, which will provide the foundation for a discussion paper.
To help shape our vision so that we may continue to lead in the delivery of better health outcomes, I urge you to contribute your ideas to this important review.
Jill Trewhella.

You have to put salt in the brine tank. The amount is immaterial as long as it is above the water and you keep enough in it so that you cannot see the water in the tank.
: I have a water softner that I know nothing about it is a Lingenfelder Auto Soft Water- Ultimate I. I found a kit that tests how soft your water is and mine is not.

When a "loss" occurs in life sometimes it is difficult to know where to turn. Friends and family although they may be well meaning are often unable to say the right words or do the right thing to comfort you. Perhaps you feel you will never get over this feeling - the hole in your heart that has been created by this loss. Although you may not have thought of entering counseling for this type of reason, it is in fact one of the most common reasons people seek help. Loss is traumatic and can really derail you in achieving your goals or feeling like yourself again. Although you may not think it possible, I can help you heal and get back on track.

Child, Adolescent and Young Adult Psychotherapist
168 West 86th St- Suite 1D, New York City, New York 10024
Have you lost a family member or a close friend? The feelings associated with a loss can be painful, overwhelming and complex. For some the pain is so great, it is hard to imagine life without the loved-one. Sadness, anger, guilt There is no "right" way to grieve. Different people cope with loss in many ways. Speaking with a trained therapist, though, can help you process the loss and move on. Together, in a safe and supportive environment you can learn to manage the pain and slowly begin to adjust to life in the absence of your loved-one. Of course, there are many other types of loss, including the loss of health, a friendship or partner, a job. You do not have to face these alone!

Has your life been derailed by the loss of a loved one to the point that both you and others around you express concern that you have yet to regain your "old self?" Sometimes in the aftermath of such a loss the resulting grief can be completely overwhelming and debilitating. I will help you to get back on track and feel better. I am trained in short-term, evidence-based counseling approaches such as Complicated Grief Treatment and will work with you in a supportive, collaborative manner that will help foster healing and personal growth.

Sometimes events overpower our ability to cope. The loss of a loved one can throw our daily coping mechanism completely out of control. We all understand the early stages of loss but after awhile we feel that we should be coping better and just find that we can't. That is when a caring therapist can be of help. There is no time limit for the grieving process. It is a very personal experience. I always remind my patients that our job is never to forget, but rather to learn how to put those powerful memories into a safe place within our heart so that we can move forward with our lives. Only then can we begin to breathe again.

Depression and grief are often confounded. Although the etiology may be different, the shared characteristic is the overwhelming sense of sadness and loss, which can be amenable to cognitive-behavioral techniques. Understanding of the progression through the stages of grief (typically Kubler-Ross) is usually helpful. I have had particular experience with patients who are immobilized by prolongued grieving.

Grief and loss is the price we pay for loving other people. Dealing with it is often the most difficult process we go through as human beings. I will help you through this wrenching time and you will have a chance to recover at your own pace. Everyone deals with this in their own way and I will help facilitate your personal way. Having dealt with loss myself I have a personal window into this part of life we all will walk through.
Lauren Levy, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
1623 Third Avenue Suite 202, , New York, New York 10128
Different people respond to grief and loss in many different ways. There is no right or wrong way to deal with loss. It is important to address the feelings that come up during the grieving process, whether they be painful memories or joyous ones. People often find that they work through unresolved issues from previous losses during this process. This helps people learn how to cope with death in a way that helps them move forward while being able to think about the person they've lost in a way that does not impact them like it did before.
Kristin Schaefer Schiumo, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
Grief and loss are experiences that lead us to feel sad, angry, shocked or numb. In our work together, we will process the many reactions you have in relation to your loss. You will experience unconditional support as you move through the stages of grief. We will work to identify your inner strengths and resources, and external supports, using them to guide you in your healing process.

Grief and loss inevitably leads to anger & sadness. Not surprisingly, it also can lead to depression and feelings of guilt. The latter is called irrational guilt, as most of us lack magical powers to cure dying people. Even if they mean the world to us. I would encourage my clients to express feeling of guilt and anger often unconscious related to the loss. The anger is often at the person who died. Of course, this is irrational anger in most cases, as we all are going to die. The anger is over losing someone we love, value. I would use clinical interventions that usher in the grieving process. This fosters coming to terms with and an acceptance of the loss.
Bennett Pologe, Ph.D.
330 west 58th street - suite 601, new york, New York 10019
Grief is something you will, unfortunately, have to go through. You can't go around it, skip over it to the end, or otherwise avoid it. I can help you realize when you are going through the process and when you're fleeing it in a way that will come back to bit you in the ***. On the positive side, going through grief is not as complicated as it's sometimes cracked up to be. Talking - with the right person - goes a long way to moving the process forward.

Smells AwfulI never noticed any change using this. It smells really strong like chemicals.Oct 20, 2007Ginni

Not A Great ProductI was extremely dissapointed with this product. After reading the other reviews I was very excited to try it...who wouldnt want hair free legs, etc.? I got a wax and then applied the gel. It had such an awful smell. It basically smells like Nair but you need to use it every day. My sheets smelled from it and my clothes stunk as well. I could NEVER use it and actually go somewhere. You would have to be extremely dedicated and not have an aversion to the smell in order for this to work. The consistency is also not that of a lotion that absorbs easily...it is a thicker type gel that I found hard to rub in to a point where no residue was left. Overall a big "thumbs down" for this product.Oct 11, 2007Kristen / Chicago, IL

So Far So Good...I have light skin and dark hair. Ive used this product for about a week. And after the first application Ive noticed great results. I use it as an after shave after epillating/professional tweazing. It makes my skin feel very smooth and soft. Just follow instructions exactly as stated. Prior, I used the MNY Ingrown hair remover/aftershave for $18.00. Wont go back. This is definately cheaper and better.Oct 9, 2007Tatyana Shimunova

Amazing Product!First of all, let me say that I have medium colored skin and dark brown hair - and very thick leg hair. Ive never been able to get the smooth, sexy legs that all the models have. Ive tried every razor, but by the end of the day my legs were spiky. The creams only lasted one full day, assuming they were strong enough to remove the hair in the first place. Electrolysis and other laser treatments were too costly, and can leave scars on people with my skin tone. Waxing was my best option, but it would only last a few weeks, and when the hair grew back, it would itch and hurt and I would get tons of ingrown hairs. The day I found this product, that all changed. My results may be atypically successful, but I had to share them. The first time I waxed and used Keep it Bare, I didnt have to worry about my perfectly smooth legs for almost two months, and I noticed that the hair that was growing back was much thinner than before. The second time I waxed and used the product, I wore skirts and swimsuits the whole summer without having to do a thing to my legs. I have used Keep it Bare according to the directions on the box for about a year now, and have hardly any hair on my legs at all. I dont shave, and I rarely have to wax. What an amazing product! I never thought I could get and keep my legs this smooth for so long. Just use Keep it Bare according to the directions, and within a month, youll start to see results. You have to try this miracle product.Apr 8, 2007Steph / Texas

Works If You Stick With ItThis product effectively inhibits hair growth if you use it consistently and remove the hair at the root ( by waxing or tweezing). At any given time, up to 10% of hair is in a dormant phase. So if you consitently wax and use this product you slow the growth and eventually can stop the growth. I wax the area and then use this product twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Then I let the non-dormant hairs grow out and wax and use Gigi. You will notice significant results in 1-3 months doing using it this way. Depending on the area treated it can take 6 months to a year to inhibit hair and then you only need to use this a couple times a week to prevent regrowth. It is worth it to not have to shave daily.Aug 7, 2006Jeanne J.
