Saucony Freedom Five
2 years ago
Saucony Freedom Five is a well made shoe, however, the front or forefoot is not as wide as the Saucony Freedom Four. I was ecstatic to find the Saucony Freedom Four and use it for Cross Fit and HIIT workouts. This was the best shoe I ever found for the type of workouts I do. Unfortunately, the fit from the Freedom Five is different - forefoot portion is narrower. Soon as I put on the Five there was discomfort. If your feet are narrow you would probably will not notice this design change. The five fits more like a NIKE shoe and the four more like a New Balance as far as the widths. I did return the Freedom Five shoes and received a prompt refund from Saucony.

My Favorite Pair of Shoes Yet
2 years ago
Bought these for my senior cross country season, and they did not disappoint. In fact, two other varsity team members train in them as well. I currently have over five hundred miles on these shoes (nearing the end of their life) and they are showing very few signs of wear. They are suitable for both long runs (I've done up to a half marathon in them), and shorter speed work. I previously trained in shoes that couldn't hold my wide feet when cornering, and this pair fixed the problem immediately with lots of support on the edges of the soles. In addition to being super comfortable, they look good and I definitely recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a slightly more affordable shoe.

Great platform, terrible upper
2 years ago
Would be great, if only the upper had more structure! The platform itself feels great. The responsiveness is quick, and the cushioning is just right. Support feels good on the footbed. BUT - the mesh upper does not secure the foot. I live in a very hilly area, and coming downhill in this is torture. My feet instantly slide to the front of the shoe where my toes get jammed until I get to a flat or rise - which can be quite a while here. Saucony - the zero-drop/minimalist approach is great, but not at the expense of foot-security. Next round, please make a more structured upper for this base!

overall shoe comfort & performance

first pair of Freedom since the 3 and while the Freedom 5 is much different, it is just as good; if not better. I am not one to buy into the high stack, ultra cushioned craze or the super expensive plated shoes that suggest you'll run faster just by virtue of what is on your feet. I've always preferred a neutral, moderately cushioned & responsive shoe. The Freedom 5 retains all that I liked about the 3 and improves on the upper & cushioning. It is my go to gym shoe and will be in my rotation as I begin training for my first race season in 10 years. Saucony is the best "big brand" running shoe company in my opinion and has been for some time. Next up for me is a pair of "lifestyle" shoes.

Mixed emotions

I've had these shoes a little over a month, and they are already falling apart. I bought them because I had to return the new Guide model I bought because it was giving me severe knee pain. It was the third pair of Guides i owned so it was really disappointing that the new design was causing such problems. I went with these because of the shoe finder recommendation. They are comfortable and look great, but I always felt the heel was really soft. If I'm just standing still, I have this sensation like I could roll backward in my heel at any time, very weird. Then i noticed about a week ago the rubber sole where it attaches to the foam at the heel is all pulling away. I've been wearing Sauconys for over a decade and have never had a problem with the dozen or more pairs I've owned before.

Reliable sprinter and all purpose.

I use this shoe for short runs, sprints, and cross training. Overall, the durability of this shoe is better than other models experienced. The light weight and form fitting is great for all-purpose. I usually switch to a different model if I am going to run longer distances with past arch pain experienced with this shoe. Again, I use this for all purpose workouts. Would like to see this shoe size in Wide for more comfort.

Perfect Gym Show

This is the perfect shoe if you like to run and lift weights. I have a pair of CrossFit for shoes that I use for weight lifting, but they’re terrible for running. I also have a pair of Brooks running shoes, but they are too foamy for casual weight lifting. These shoes are perfect. They stable and have enough flexibility to run with ease. Buy them. You won’t be disappointed.

Obviously a great runner. Just what you expect from saucony but my reason for buying this shoe was for crossfit. Metacons and Nanos are great for in the gym but when it comes to the run they are terrible but not the freedom. they are good in they gym and as a runner. I still wear my metacons form time to time but only on power lifting days any other time its the freedom.

Unstable and uncomfortable
2 years ago
I've worn the Freedoms for years, but this new one is not the same. Compared sole to sole, this one is more narrow, meaning your heel has less stability. Also, the heel box on the inside feels smaller and you feel the edge of the insole. They've also changed the laces and tongue. Overall, these just aren't usable if you were relying on the old Freedoms.
