Saucony Freedom ISO 2

I like minimalist shoes for avoiding wear on my feet. These are the best of all the known minimalist shoes. I think the upper latest edition is a little better. Saucony does great with the lower and sometimes uses ugly / excessive uppers. I’d like a sock, light weight upper. 

Otherwise as solid as traditional shoes

Feels fairly light for everyday running. I don’t feel much of a benefit during speed work, but feel strong through long runs.

I really enjoyed this shoe. I can honestly say the only downside is the price point and some may also dislike the wider toe box. The ride on this shoe is heavenly and very responsive yet soft. I crushed several long runs in these and my feet felt great after. They're also aesthetically pleasing which is always an upside! Highly recommend if you're in search for a moderately cushioned, responsive shoe!

The Saucony Freedom ISO 2 delivers in so many ways. It is a rare combination of lightweight, cushioned, responsiveness that I haven't enjoyed since Nike quit making the Skylon. It is the closest thing to a slipper that I have ever run in. Given that I am no long a speedy, 150 pound 30 years old, the Freedom offers the best of everything for an older, heavier, runner who loves the fact that he can both train and race in the same shoe without feeling the need to ever run and race in flats again.

I enjoy the Freedoms for training. The cushion helps with the miles. Once race day comes around, I switch to the Kinvaras.

I've always been a big Saucony fan, and I love the new editions of the Freedoms, but I still have issues with the lacing systems. I wish they would go back to the old style they used on the Kinvara 6-8 editions-- The laces just always seem to tighten up as I run, forcing me to alter the lacing style.

Runs super smooth the first 400 miles. It is extremely light but snug. I've gone through lots of different shoes but I have never had a shoe be this light & give a sense of excellent cushion, support, and reactivity.

I love this shoe. I was switched from a Kinvara and overall I feel lighter and like my legs do not take as much of a beating. They are also more durable I usually would have seen at least some tears by now in the Kinvara and I have had nothing yet!

I love this shoe's seemingly contradictory attributes of springiness and and shock deadening cushioning that this shoe provides. The cost is steep but it is a durable number, typically lasting me for 1200-1300 kms.

Great responsive shoe capable of everyday training.
