Customer Reviews Saucony Freedom 3

I am so, so dissapointed in the changes of this shoe. The Freedom ISO2 was amazing and one of the only shoes that really fit the bill in every way! They have changed the instep to this model, and it does not accommodate a high arch without so much pressure on the top of the foot. I have never had this issue in the Freedom. I tried three pair in different colors with the same result, so I know it is the way the shoe is being made different. A side note is the colors are not appealing or fun at all and very limited to the three. I am a dedicated Saucony runner, and I don't know what I will turn to with the loss of my favorite Freedom ISO2!

I love Saucony and always wear them for running, walking and everyday wear. Unfortunately, these shoes have my feet hurting. I usually need a bit more support and these do not provide enough support. They also seem to run a slightly small as I ordered my usual size but these are tight.

The sizing of these shoes is extremely off. I ordered a new pair of Freedom 3 online to replace my older pair (purchased in store) and the shoes I received were about 1/2 size larger than my older ones. The sizing was so off I had to return them. Extremely disappointed in the quality of these shoes and how much the sizing varies shoe to shoe. While I really liked my first pair of Freedom 3 shoes, the second pair was terrible. I recommend not ordering these online.

Didn't work for me. Heel slipped. The laces are super snug so great for putting these on but difficult to take off without lots of effort. Returned.

I recently decided to get back into running and have always been a fan of Saucony shoes, so didn't think twice about buying another pair. These were pricey, but I assumed, you get what you pay for - and the price point would help keep me motivated to continue. When I first put these shoes on, I was very happy around my house. They were light, and springy and I couldn't wait to hit the track. Day one - my feet went numb just walking to the track, but I powered through. Next day, nothing but sore knees - which I have never had from running before. I have tried everything from super loose laces, to tight, to all sorts of combinations in-between. Feet still numb, and knees still super achy after. Thought maybe trying some walks first to "break them in" might help - but no such luck. Almost seemed to be worse. Then to top it all off on the walk (only 5km, flat paved), I started feeling a massive blister start towards the end of my walk (thankfully I was close to getting back to my car) and when I took off the shoes, the blister reason was clear - the lining of the heel had ripped!! After less than 15 times wearing the shoes for no more than 30 mins at a time. So super disappointed and don't plan on buying another pair of Saucony's again (after being a loyal wearer for years :()
