Rhys Howell from KANSA fences with the b4's but IMHO they suck as a fencing shoe.

Still tho... they look cool. They would look greeat with those old adidas fie uniforms with the stripes on the arms

Because they suck so bad they must have been made by Ford!!! they come apart faster than a .... (censoring self)

Seriously the ONLy shoe worth a sh@@ was the old asymm. hitops IMHO but even those needed serious preventative maintenance and repair.

I have the Adistars and I love them to death. The Stabils are supposed to be nice too though.

The barracades are the best out of that bunch IMO, Mine have lasted 3 years so far!!! many times longer than any fencing shoe i have used in the past. They have excelent grip and really good cushioning in the heels.

I've seen the barricades, but they are kinda bulky though, I mean like they are bulkier than the stabil 6. I think Fabrice Jeannett was wearing a Barricade 2 at the 06 world champ.

I spose they are heavier than fencing shoes, but you hardly notice when fencing in them. They've got a metal meash in the sides that resist wear if you roll you back foot, and like I said, they've got superb grip.

I supposed they are commercialized and moved their production line to places like Pakistan.

no doubt, I saw him wearing the same shoes in 02 world champ video, if they are the same shoes, that's about 3-4 years old.
