Saucony Freedom 5 Womens Shoes Size 9.5, Color: Sunstone/Night

I've been buying Guides since Guide 6, (for both work AND running) and have owned almost every new version since. The design and shape have definitely changed and evolved over the years (ranging from narrow to square toe, etc), and the softer heel of the newer guides - more cushion and less blisters. But I do love the triple black color, it is striking and stunning!! - I hope this color will continue as I will continue to buy!!

I have about 50 mi in these Guides so far after a few weeks. I've been running for years and my favorite distance is the half marathon. These Guides have quickly become my favorite shoe in my rotation. Having owned the 13s before this pair, the design tweaks for the 15 are great. Despite being a “stability” shoe, it feels and performs fast. They did a great job taking considerable weight out of this shoe. The upper changes are also great and it feels way lighter and more breathable than my last pair. Initially, they fit a bit loose in the heel, but a nice heel lock solved that problem my next time out (thanks for making the laces long enough for that). Lastly, the Campfire Story colorway is the coolest I've owned in years and I'm hoping it sticks around. This shoe, the performance and the updates, is why Saucony is my favorite running company.
