They're nice and light and I like the elastic laces. I go through 3-4 pairs of sneakers a year and usually go for Sauconys because they always fit me right away when I order online. I've been using the ISO series for a while now but haven't found any at Revain lately for a reasonable price so I've switched to Freedom. They are lighter and thinner but feel great. They're not good for cross-country running compared to ISO, but they're excellent for road running.
