The only series that hasn’t made my feet hurt

Anonymous runner · Aug 12, 2019

5/5

Overall

I always thought part of running was the muscles in the bottom of my foot cramping/burning. Then I got the Liberty ISO, and now the Liberty ISO 2, and haven’t had any more problems. Just enough support and cushion without being bulky or heavy. I only wish there were better color options. Also more neutral color options.

Supper comfortable trainer

Overall

I find this shoes incredibly comfortable. The foam is pretty nice and responsive. The user is really breathable and fits well. However the to box of the shoe tend to get holes in it after 250 miles which is not good.

5/5

Overall

really like these shoes. relatively light weight and a low drop. only stability shoe I've found with that combination. wore them for training and recently raced in them. 3:13:37. mid-50s, male. when training I was running 50-60 miles/week. I bought two pair and have been rotating them. Was wearing Nike's but wanted a lower drop. Have tried other brands but am staying with these. The only issue I had was some rubbing on the outside of my big toe. Toe box isn't overly narrow but this was creating some discomfort. Used some tape on my foot and helped the problem significantly. No issue with durability.
