An affordable shoe that works well for me.
First pair of running shoes. They don't feel the softest when I put them on, but on the other hand my feet don't hurt after I run in them. I've run as far as 8 miles in them. They are green and other people have characterized them as ugly, but I think they look just fine.

Long lasting and responsive shoe
I got two pairs of these shoes, one about 300 miles after the first pair. The cushioning in them feels almost identical despite the mileage difference. At higher speeds on tight corners you can feel your foot shifting in the shoe but it isn't uncomfortable. In the rain they drain well but also spray water from the toe of the shoe down the length of the shoe. The first thing to fail on the first pair was the glue holding the upper to the base of the shoe at about 600 miles. With the full rubber sole of the shoe these last far longer than other shoes while still feeling good and without causing problems.

Good road allrounder, on par with famous Kinvaras
I'd recommend getting ones if:
* You prefer low drop running shoes with neutral cushioning; or, in particular, a fan of Saucony Kinvara, but now want to try something slightly different,
* Enjoy sock-fit (glove fit),
* Love running shoes with slick design and cool colours, and
* Normally do mid-distance road runs at a medium-high pace;

A Non-Authoritative and Blah Review
I very much enjoy running in Saucony's Freedom ISO model. I have only tried the first generation version, but two models/colorways that seem sufficiently different. The model navy, near-denim mesh upper felt flimsy and insecure on turns and in general, whenever I planted my foot for additional force. I tried the white model, on the other hand, and so far, after two separate pairs, it seems secure, stable, cushioned, and relatively quick. Not the best-looking shoe, in white or other, but I was told it would compare to running in Kinvaras, only with more durability, and so far that has held on to be true.

I have really liked this shoe. I've been running it in for four months. I bought a half size larger than usual so that my toes could comfortably in the toe box. It's been great.
