Ultimate Performance and Style: Saucony 🏃 S20543 40 Freedom Running Shoe in Black Review

The heel lining wore out long before the cushioning and outsole. Thinner and weaker lining than other Saucony shoes. The shoes may not be slip-resistant or suitable for wet conditions.

I'm a heavier guy (200+) and walk/run on my tiptoes. It was hard to find shoes that were comfortable for running or regular walking. These shoes were the answer! I can walk/stand in these shoes for hours without pain or fatigue. My son has a school trip to DC in the fall; I will be buying extra pairs to take with me on my trip. Only downside, the soles are lighter/whiter, get dirty/discolored easily and don't seem to wash off. I wish they were darker colors to hide the dirt you pick up on the…

I'm 73 so I don't run as much as I used to. But I walk on concrete every day, so I like well-cushioned shoes. I've been running since I quit smoking when I was 28 and I love that I can still do it. These are great shoes and they fit perfectly.

I ran in the original Freedom running shoes and ran over 600 miles in them. The Freedom 3 is a welcome improvement: great cushioning, much lighter weight and like the original I expect them to put up many miles without damage.

Not made to last. Saucony running shoes made in the USA used to last five years. They are now made in China and need to be replaced every year. Do yourself a favor and avoid it. Instead, purchase a new nB m 990v5 scale made in the USA. The difference in quality is amazing

- Regular to wide toe box - More cushioning than Kinvara - Less cushioning than Triumph - Better upper than both - Best for walking - Can be messy/loose for narrow feet - Laces are short - Best to try on first - 8 hours of walking the whole Tag creates a hot spot in the middle of the foot when the arches are higher, best for flat feet

As described in numerous reviews online. Very light shoes. Holds the back of the foot. plush feel. 4 mm fall off. Softens the blow, but not too much. I use it for 10,000 runs twice a week. I used to have Freedom Iso 1. They lasted about 600,000. Not impressed. Compared to previous versions, the 3 Series has much better grip on wet surfaces. The first time I repeat the shoes, well, 2 versions up. Very happy with the purchase. I wish there was more choice of colors or styles. I don't particularly

I was fed up with spending $140 on a pair of sneakers, so I bought a few different Saucony shoes from last year. The Freedom is a good shoe and the Kinvara 11 is excellent.

Nice looking shoes, fit well but after 3 weeks of averaging 25 miles per week my toe was peeking out from under the fabric upper. The shoes also fit well, not small or tight so I suspect it's just poor quality. Too bad it costs so much

After multiple runs including tempo, interval and long distance runs these shoes are amazing. I moved away from Kinvara in search of stability and have only positive things to say so far.

I recently switched to this model from the Kinvara 10 as I wanted a little more support/cushioning. After running my usual 5km route through the streets and pavements in them, I found that the Kinvara lacked lateral support around the ankle and heel.

I always buy Saucony shoes even though I only walk. They fit my feet better than any other brand and offer great support and comfort. The Freedom 3 is the lightest and most comfortable Saucony shoe I've tried. If you like lightness and comfort, this shoe might be for you!

Great shoe, super light and comfortable. I had plantar fasciitis and switched to Sacouny shoes and now my feet don't hurt anymore. The best shoes I've ever had

Very snug but comfortable, not too tight in the toes, holds the heel without being too tight. Only used on the treadmill so far but looking forward to spring runs.

I'll admit that I've probably worn these shoes more than the average person, walking through the woods with sticks and climbing several mountains a week in the summer, jumping from rock to rock on the way down, toe-tapping . . . with every jump against the front. However, I've had a pair of Nike Pegasus for about 2 years and use them a lot more and they don't have toe holes. After wearing these shoes every day for about a month, they started showing holes in the front, and after about 2 months…

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.

I've been doing the Hagelund deformity for five years and have tried many different soft-heeled shoes. Counter that does not cause heel pain. I bought the Saucony Freedom a few years ago for their soft heel which allowed me to walk without pain. Imagine my disappointment when I bought the Freedom 3 to find that Saucony had decided to "upgrade" their shoe by adding a stiffener to the heel. Saucony's Bad Move I'm done with Freedom

These shoes are actually the second pair as the first ones bought locally. My husband needed a second pair to switch between exercising and the treadmill. He says these are the most comfortable running shoes he's ever owned. He says these shoes fit his feet so well. Perfect wearing comfort, perfect fit.
