Light, comfortable, quick.
| | Weaknesses:
None | | Overall:
I am an over pronator and wear orthotics in my walking shoes - but, after a knee injury that laid me up for 4 months, I decided to try the Frees.
It took a while to build back up (generally), but since I started back (nearly a year ago now) I haven't run in anything but my Frees on the road, and have raced in them up to half marathon distance.
My first pair (the 'original' black and white ones) I wore for about 600 miles, and then I felt that they were starting to wear out - the soles were losing some of their tread, and the upper fabric looking a bit tatty. However, the heel pocket never tore.
I have 2 more pairs now - one 'normal', one off road - and I still love them, and still no heel tearing issues.
The only thing is (but I think this is a plus) you just can't plod in them - and by that I mean that you always have to be thinking about landing gently, otherwise it hurts!!
