Best shoe I've ever owned
I run a lot. I'm the local Forrest Gump so to speak. This is the best shoe on the market for my feet and running style. Perfect mix of comfort and durability. They are perfect from day one. I have never had to break a pair in and I've logged over 600 miles on ISOs before and they just hold up.I primarily use the Freedom ISOs for longer runs and tempos. I've even raced a half marathon in a pair before just to test them against my usual mid distance racing shoe (Adidas Sub2 or Adidas Boston) and the difference was marginal on race speed. For a shoe with more padding or foam than a racing flat they sure can go fast!As far as running everyone has different feet, technique, and needs but for me this isn't just a 5 star shoe, it's worth 6 stars! Some may balk at the higher price of these shoes but I think they are worth every penny.

Great shoe, very comfortabel to run in.
These shoes are very comfortable and light feeling I've run on them a few times and they may fit a bit snug up front, but I have high arches, narrow feet so it doesn't bother me. I also wear an insert from my doctor that is probably thicker than an over the counter one, but still feel great. They are airy, light and stable. We'll see how they hold up. I'm 205 and run 3-5 miles daily. In the Army, so they get abused.

Good sneakers, but rip out in the heal too early
I've been wearing Saucony running sneakers for years - they are the brand that I like the best. They fit my foot, have great cushioning, and are very comfortable. But over the past year or two, I've had issues with the heal material ripping much sooner than expected - within 4/5/6 months. Only run 3 miles 3 times a week which is not much mileage at all, so the heal material should last at least a year in my opinion. Just bought this pair a month ago so I'll update my review as time goes on.Update: Same thing happened with this pair - ripped out in the heal after less than 6 months.

For heavy guys
Best, longest lasting affordable shoe for me when I walk/jog a few miles every other day. I am 6’6” tall, weigh 225lbs and am 66 years with a history of back and bone issues.

My 2nd pair and I'm pleased again
I bought my first pair of the Guide ISO's about 2 years ago. At the time they were the best fitting running shoe I'd ever owned. After hundreds of miles of running the cushion finally broke down and it was time for a new pair. The new shoes fit perfectly. I'd read some complaints about the construction of these shoes but my first pair held up quite well. Aside from the cushion support breaking down (which is expected) I also wore out the inside of the heal area, but I think that has more to do with me not untying my shoes before slipping them off. A+

Love them
I bought a pair of Ride ISO 2s about 6 months ago, and loved them. Went looking for another pair, saw the Guide ISO 2s, read some reviews and thought I'd take a chance since they're $80 cheaper. I love these just as much, and maybe more due to the money saved. Both Rides and Guides are light and comfortable (pretty much feel the same to me), the only noticeable difference being that the Guides feel a little stiffer in the soles. They're advertised to have more stabilization, and they do. The extra stabilization doesn't affect my run or comfort at all.For reference, I run an average of 15 miles a week (3 5 mile runs). I don't have much of an arch in my foot, and sneakers with heavy duty arches are painful for me. Can't run with Nikes. The only other running sneakers I've ever found comfortable were Aididas and New Balance. I also have a narrow foot, and these work well with that. Not much more I can say - I think they're great!

Updated Review: Great, but short lived
Best running shoes I've ever had. Reduced my shin splints by 80% and I'm running father than I ever have.EDIT: I've had these for 10 months now. They are supposed to be 400 mile shoes. According to my app I've worn them for 95 miles on runs. I'll even double that number in case the app was off, so call it 200 miles to be generous. The bottoms have completely worn out and the right foot has shredded the fabric on the inside. That happened in the first month or so. I loved these shoes, but they don't last nearly as long as they claim too.I also had the issue with my feet falling asleep after running about 1.5 miles. Unfortunately I won't be buying these again, and now, less than a year later, I'll be dropping over $100 on yet another different running shoe.
