Freedom ISO

This shoe is expensive, but will outlast most traditional EVA midsole shoes in the market. No joke. These shoes can probably go for at least 600mi or more. They run a half size small though, so I suggest getting a 1/2 size up. It’s hard to describe the feeling in these shoes. They feel soft yet they feel firm at the same time. The material TPU midsole feels super bouncy. Go fast or slow, and these shoes have your back. There isn’t anything in the market quite like these shoes.

I am really struggling with this shoe. I've been wearing several Saucony shoes over the last decade (Ride, Kinvara, Guide) all in 9.5. But this one feels very cramped in the toe box, and I can feel my toes hitting the front of the shoe. It's almost a half a size smaller. Really struggling with this one.

I REALLY wanted to like these shoes. I have the following issues that forced me to immediately return them. 1. Way too narrow. The toe box is so narrow it will give me mortons neuroma in a week. 2. The shoe is 1.5 sizes too small! I wear a 10.5 shoe, bought these in 11.5 and they are still too small, 3. There is zero arch support. If you have flat feet, you'll love these. If you have any arch in this show, it will collapse due to the absence of any arch support. It's an AMAZING looking shoe! Too bad the function couldn't come close to matching the aesthetics.

Very confortable and light I used then for track and I ran my fastest mile in them. After about 6 months the traction is still amazing.

I have been running in Guides for a long time and can't even count how many pairs I owned. I am prone to injuries and use the Guides for long runs, speed-work and races. As much as I like the support and cushioning they provide, during speed-work, I sometimes wish I had a lighter and more responsive shoe. The Liberty seemed like the natural choice, however, when I wore it in the store (at two different occasions) I just wasn't convinced. It felt a tad stiff. So I tried the Freedom and ran in it a few miles. I agree with many reviewers that it feels a little to small, maybe not a 1/2 size but smaller than my 12 1/2 Guides. I was close to returning it when I thought I try it for a 10k run, and then 9 miles, and then some intervals, a tempo and a long run. And I must say, the soft and flexible heel and the ISO fit easily accommodate for what I thought was a sizing problem. It did not turn out to be one at all. Nor was I missing the support. I am now about 50 miles in, with 16 miles being the longest run. I feel the differences to my Guides but even after the long run I can't say that I was more sore or had issues only the Guides could compensate for. Quite the opposite, I am really enjoying this shoe and recommend it.
