Anyone train in the Saucony Fastwitch 3? I'm curious as to how they fit size-wise (I wear a 9 in Nike, Mizuno, and Asics training shoes). Also wonder if the inside forefoot outsole is a harder/more durable rubber than the outside forefoot outsole (inside is a different color than the outside).
The FT 2 Endurance had a slight medial post. I believe the FT 3 has this as well. The shoe for me fit pretty true to size - I wear a 10.5 to 11 in Brooks, Nike and Asics, and wore a size 10.5 FT 2.

Thank you! I'm not wondering about the midsole post, but the actual outsole rubber. I'm wondering if the black medial outsole rubber is a harder material than the orange lateral outsole rubber.

It breaks down pretty quickly. I think they might have changed the rubber for more recently produced models, but the both the black and orange outsole have broken down pretty quickly on my first pair. Still a great shoe.
Ah, well I can't comment on the outsole rubber. I have a friend who trained in the FT2 exclusively logging well over 1500km's in one pair. Pretty stupid IMO, but the material was durable and the shoe had very 'normal' wear.

I tend to wear the forefoot outsole down pretty quickly, so I try to stay away from blown rubber outsoles. Sounds like the Fastwitch 3 might not work for me. Thank you!
