Liberty ISO

I got these as an upgrade from the freedom ISO's for the reason I wanted a little bit more stability and it impressed me. I am a high school long distance runner and we do speed and distance on the roads and on the track and the shoes do not shy away from any surface they are very plush and you can really feel the energy being returned back to you from the EVERRUN. Overall these shoes are an amazing project.

I've ran in the Kinvaras, Freedoms and Peregrines for a couple of years know. I was looking for a shoe on my long days 12+ as my form was falling apart near the end and thought that 'a little stability bump' would help. Nope. First impressions after 50 mi.....Very heavy feeling with not much roll on the toe off, tongue always slides down below laces about mile 8. This is a pure pronators shoe. It drives your foot to supination on impact and then does not give that much rebound. Do like the open mesh on the forefoot and I'm sure this shoe would last the whole season. I also like the wrap around tongue. But, this shoe feels mushy to me and so much heavier then I thought it would be. I can't seem to keep my cadence at higher levels. If you pronate, run slow and like a bit of wider toe box, this shoe is for you. Otherwise stick with the Kinvara or NB Zante. Good try Saucony, I just think you guys over did the pronation control on this one and my feet hurt.. I do love your other shoes and really want to get back to your racers after ditching my sponsor last year.

I use to wear the Mirage, before it was discontinued. I had to move to the Zealot for a 4mm drop but really need some stability. I really like my new Liberty. Great feel and nice cushion. It has a terrific ride. Overall, it is a really great shoe. I would recommend using the tongue of the Zealot...more comfortable. It is a little pricey. Would love a stability version of the Zealot. Can you do better with the colors. The blue is nice but not the white cuff which is already getting dingy. They said there would be a great new color.....grey....really....grey isn't even a color. Please help.

I have been running in these since I picked them up at the NYC marathon expo. I’ve used them for both long and short runs up to 16 mi this far, and the mix of the full length eversole and light stability for when I start to pronate more is nothing short of perfect for me. The upper fits like a glove and is breathable without sacrificing some structure. I’d recommend these for anyone who wants a high quality shoe needing light stability features that’s not afraid to spend a bit of money. Worth every penny.

I've used these for a long run (13), speed work on the track, shorter aerobic runs, and a slower recovery run. Compared to the Guide, these are lacking on cushion and stability and you can feel the difference. I don't consider them to be plush in the cushioning category. I weigh in the 175 lb range, so these may do better for lighter runners. In any case, a higher cadence is important for these. I plan to use them mainly for shorter runs and stick to a more cushioned and stable option for longer runs. I'm not sure what justifies the price, however. They do look great.
