Overview

Switching between a HIIT class and a road run is what the Saucony Freedom is made for, sitting low to the ground for stability and agility. Light PWRRUN PB foam gives cushioning and rebound for every rep and stride.

One shoe for lifting, cardio and shorter runs saves packing two pairs. Runners chasing maximal cushioning for long miles may want a taller shoe.

Who it's for

HIIT, strength sessions and shorter road runs suit this shoe. Long-distance runners might prefer more stack.

Performance notes

PWRRUN PB beads compress and rebound quickly, giving bounce without bulk. A lower platform holds the foot stable for lateral gym moves. Flex grooves help the shoe bend with the foot.
