Liberty ISO

Saucony shoes fits me best. Almost all of my shoes are and have been from Saucony, since Kinvara 2 was released. Currently I use Saucony Guide 10 and 9 and Kinvara 8. I like light shoes with low drop. I bought Liberty, cause I though it would be light and low. My size is 46 (US 11.5). My other same size shoes weigh: Kinvara 5 (238 g), Kinvara 8 (261 g), Guide 10 and 9 (314 g). So Guides have been the heaviest shoes so far. But Liberty size US 11.5 weigh 338 g. On Saucony website Guide 10 weigh is 283 g and Liberty weigh is 275 g ? I think Saucony should inform, that the weigh of the Liberty increases faster that other shoes as shoe size increases I suppose because the bottom material is heavy, weight grows fast in relation to the size of the shoe. This is a shame, because its otherwise a great shoe

I was diagnosed with moderate pronation and after some research i found out that Liberty ISO offers good support for this situation. The shoes are well designed and colourful and offer a lot of cushioning. I was excited to start using these. However, just wearing for 15 mins, I have started experiencing extreme foot pain especially the arch area. I have a couple of times since then. However, they haven't given me any relief. Feels like a high end investment with no returns.

Pros: Good run feel Nice cushion Good stability Cons: Tongue is poorly designed and short (try Zealot tongue) Wear is no better than lower priced Guide **** Shoe liner slips badly in rain*****. It was sticking out of my shoe. Had to stop twice during 5 mile run. Overall: won't buy this shoe again. Disappointed this is now only 4mm drop stability shoe. Discontinued mirage Saucony user for years...may have to look to another brand

I have run in a variety of Saucony shoes and have loved every pair for different reasons. When I found the freedom isos I thought I had found the perfect shoe, but my pronation made me burn through them. These Liberty ISO came along almost as if they were made for me. The slight stability aspect boosts these into another level. That being said I have gone through two pairs in a relatively short period of time. The rubber underneath the stability component rubbed away to the hard plastic in about 180 miles on my first pair and my newer pair have worn even worse in about 150. For the price I was hoping to find a pair that lasts that illusive 300-400 miles I keep seeing at my local running shop.

Having run in Triumphs, Guides, Rides, Hurricanes, and Kinvaras over the years I always thought my perfect shoe would be a Kinvara with a little support. The Liberty gives me that feel. Its not as fast as the Kinvara, but the 4mm drop, the Everun mid/top soles, and the light pronation control are exactly what I wanted. The toe box is comfortable and the heel stays locked down. The ride is smooth and responsive. When my form starts to breakdown after a tough workout that light stabilization really helps. The tongue tends to slight down a bit- maybe it could be longer or have a lace keeper to help out. Currently have about 100 miles on them and they show very little wear. Some better color choices would be nice. Bright and flash equal fast!
