So, about the durability of the Saucony Freedom Crossport sneakers, it's a bit of a mixed bag. They are mainly designed for cross-training, which means they're pretty versatile for different workouts like HIIT or light running. One of the big things in their favor is the PWRRUN PB foam cushioning and the PWRRUN+ sockliner. These are mentioned in the manufacturer's description and they really amp up the comfort and support, especially for gym sessions or short runs.

Now, if we're talking durability itself, here's what we've found. On the plus side, they offer great traction and flexibility, so they're solid for gym workouts—think squats or lunges. The breathable design helps with comfort too.

But, there's a catch when it comes to cross-training, especially if you're doing intense side-to-side movements. Stability can be an issue. Our research shows that while the wide base of the shoes gives some stability for weightlifting, the midfoot area is a bit narrow. This might not give you enough support for more dynamic workouts, which is a bit of a red flag if stability is a big deal in your exercise routine.

Another point to consider is the shoe's material. Some people have mentioned that the quality of the material isn't the best, and it tends to wear down faster than expected. Issues like the color wearing off and the sides peeling have been noted even with limited use, suggesting that the sneakers might not last as long if you plan to use them for tough routines regularly.

In short, while these sneakers are great for comfort and work well for lighter training, they might not be the best choice for tougher cross-training or if you're looking for something that lasts.

If you're searching for a shoe that provides both stability and durability for intense workouts, it might be worth looking into other options with more robust construction.
