I just wanted to give a different perspective on the ISOfit system. I have a very wide midfoot which mostly sticks out on the lateral side. Unfortunately for me, a lot of 2E shoes are only wider in the forefoot, meaning even in wide sizes I have a hard time finding shoes that don't put painful pressure on my 5th metatarsal. For me, ISOfit has been a godsend. I'm able to dial back pressure on the tender spots on the lateral side of my foot while still keeping a good lockdown by tightening the frontmost and rearmost straps. I can definitely see how it would be annoying if you had a very narrow foot, but for those of us with huge flippers I think ISOfit is great.Phoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154557679726746212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-5333189183523644762018-10-14T10:23:35.588-06:002018-10-14T10:23:35.588-06:00Hi Teckel,

The unicorn issue is that usually more and denser outsole means less flexibility. You might look at the Reebok Sweet Road 2 as it has very decent rubber and is quite flexible too. It is also $100. Also the Brooks Ravenna is very flexible and has decent rubber. You will find reviews at the link below.<br />Sam, Editor <br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run!

I ...How many miles did you have on those Ride 10s? I just got a pair and ran once for 16 miles and I'm about half-way worn down on the outside forfoot tread. I can't find a Saucony shoe that lasts me longer than 50 miles without being worn down to the white part of the sole (all the way through the colored tread).<br /><br />All I want is a lightweight flexible shoe, neutral forefoot runner, wide foot, and I'd prefer a 4mm drop. Brooks treads seem to last longer but the new Brooks Flow is too narrow (and collects stones). Am I really asking for a unicorn here? Very frustrated with the shoe companies for the last few years. I try to plead with shoe reps but it doesn't seem they push the feedback up the chain.teckelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962997768075741744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-5401173091658549062018-10-05T06:10:39.228-06:002018-10-05T06:10:39.228-06:00I have just been searching the internet for a revi...I have just been searching the internet for a review on the Saucony Ride ISO which matches my own experience, and yours is the only one I can find. <br /><br />I have used the Saucony Ride for the last four years, and always been happy with it whatever the changes to the design. However, I can't get on with this version at all because of the ISO fit upper. I feel as if the shoe is too big for me, even though it's not - it doesn't hold me properly in the middle of the upper, to the extent that I feel I'm having to work harder at the actual running. <br /><br />I tried the Triumph ISO a while back and had similar issues with that, though not as bad. <br /><br />For information, I am an older female runner who has always worn a neutral shoe. I have a wider forefoot and narrower midfoot and heel.Belavonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16764581533077673145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-22976118342005580732018-06-09T15:30:45.104-06:002018-06-09T15:30:45.104-06:00Brilliant thanks!Brilliant thanks!Kevin Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-64237462075810902602018-06-07T15:18:38.536-06:002018-06-07T15:18:38.536-06:00Hi Kevin,

The Liberty ISO is also more supportive upper and underfoot but I wouldn't personally pick it as a daily trainer for the marathon. Not much you can do about water except to get an upper that drains well and doesn't absorb to much. You might first consider the Nike Pegasus 35, Hoka Mach, Kinvara 9, the upcoming Brooks Ghost 11,-review soon, the adidas Solar Boost if it fits you, the Under Armour HOVR Sonic (low water absorption) , and Asics Gel Cumulus 20.

I bought the freedom ISO but have trouble with the lack of upper structure, and also their rain-permeability which is a problem in London. So I might try the Ride, but what else would you recommend to try - essentially I am looking for slightly better structured Freedom.<br />Thanks!Kevin Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-31795246095089417872018-05-29T15:53:52.484-06:002018-05-29T15:53:52.484-06:00I right now train in the Saucony Triumph iso 4 and...I right now train in the Saucony Triumph iso 4 and I’m not really in love with it. I’m a 190 lb. runner and feel the cushioning bottoms out in it on a run producing a harsh ride. Walking around in it the cushioning feels soft. When I begin my run the cushioning feels soft, but soon starts feeling very harsh. I never had this problem with the previous Triumphs. Was wondering if you feel the Ride iso would work better for me.

They are also not as wide in the forefoot by a few mm, and the insole is thinner. I believe they scaled down the width of the forefoot (that is really excess), and made the insole thinner to increase the flex in the forefoot. Flex groves seem deeper too with more toe spring. Helps with the Ride and flexibility- as you guys have found. Seems like the toe box is a little higher now too.<br /><br />I haven't had a problem with the ISO Fit so far. I believe they are a little more padded/plush around where you lace at the top-which helps take pressure off that area for me. I like the slightly looser feel in the mid-foot, and in a trainer I don't like to tighten the laces as much as a racer. <br /><br />Over all it feels more like the big Brother of the K9 now, IMO. Should be able to use these on easy days, the K9s on speed and longer days. <br /><br />Thanks for the reviews!

Same here (narrow feet, medium high arches), i had the same fit issues with the ISO fit upper of the Freedom ISO. At the end i gave up on them as i couldn´t find a pleasant AND secure foothold. And man, i really tried, i really tried hard, i think i´ve never tried so many different lacing techniques on a shoe ... I really hope Saucony overthinks its ridiculous ISO fit design and gets rid of it, instead of ruining their whole product line with flimsy and poor fitting uppers.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-26594632034163167282018-05-11T15:23:51.138-06:002018-05-11T15:23:51.138-06:00Interesting review.

But for me with narrow to medium feet they are very difficult to dial in.. I actually returned my first pair of the ISO because they felt like a half size to large. I use the guides primarly on longer runs, being a slight overpronator I like the extra stability the Guides brings on slower and longer days or when I'm feeling fatigued. The mix with Ride and Guide have worked great for me. But now I probably <br />need to look elsewhere when the Rides are done... I had big hopes for the Ride ISO and will of course try them, but based on your experiences I Will probably need to find something else when my Ride 10s (and my Guide ISOs...) are done.
