Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed

I wore adidas for more that 10 years - I just switched to Triumph 17 and loved them so much I purchased the endorphin pro and endorphin speed - perfect shoes. I'm 66 (female) and have been running for 40 years - 62 marathons and countless 5k 10k and half marathons - I still run track workouts and long runs - my weekly mileage is 40-50 miles - these are some of the best shoes I've ever run in - will be buying the endorphin shift soon!!

I have worn Saucony running shoes for almost a decade. I broke my big toe probably 15 years ago and it didn't heal back properly. I discovered that Saucony running shoes were the best for me to run in with no problems. Of their running shoes, I think this one is absolutely the best of their best!!! I got the white ones and not only are they great running shoes, they also look great! I highly recommend them!!!

this is 1 of the best shoes i bought in a long time, its stylish , light weight comfortable and of great quality. i get compliments from many people every time i wear these. i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

All the reviews I read said the endorphin speed are for fast runners. Although I am sure this is true I am incredibly average. The speed is comfortable and offers plenty of cushion and support. I love the roll me forward feel. It propels you forward without messing with your gait. They are the best shoe I have ever run in. They show zero wear after 50 plus miles. I will buy these again and run a marathon in them this December. My goal is to finish in less than 4 hours which due to my age will qualify me for Boston. I love these shoes!!

This shoe is very comfortable. Fits well on the foot, but would like the shoelaces to be longer.

I found myself truly lusting when I saw the colorway on this beauty, and knowing they would soon be on the market is what kept me going during this hellish lockdown. I ordered (after my local store only had the black ones) and waited with bated breath for my new beauties. I slipped them on and truly galloped across the plains! Free as a horse! Flying! Soaring like the best of em! My neon shoes sexily devouring the roads, going faster than a fast animal. Overall do recommend, my hair smells like apples and I suspect that's the shoes too.

Set a 10k PR in these. Very happy. Less support for cross training but very light and fast for distance.

I've been running for almost 40 years now and have done almost all of my miles in Saucony shoes. I've run in a number of neutral shoes over the years from the Cohesion to the Freedom to the Triumph and recently, the Endorphin Trio. I first tried the Pro and loved it. (Wow, it's fast.) Next I tried the Shift and liked it but wasn't in love. Then I tried the Speed and was thrilled. It's like running on a cloud that wants you to be fast. And I'm not a super fast runner, especially not in the summer heat/humidity. The shoe fits like a glove. It's very similar to the Pro but for me, it's a more versatile shoe. It feels great at slower paces and fantastic at faster paces. It has a more substantial upper than the Pro but the fit feels the same. My heel stayed put and I didn't use the lockdown lacing. I could live in this shoe. Like the Pro, this shoe feels fast and wants to go fast but you don't feel the effort of going fast like you do in some shoes. It's like a racing flat and a cushioned shoe combined. I like that it encourages good running form and a mid-forefoot strike. The Speedroll technology is one of my favorite things about the Endorphin Trio and it feels so natural in the Speed. I have a hard time not reaching for the Speed on my long run days as I'm a big advocate of rotating shoes. I try and save it for my tempo runs and speed work (hill repeats, intervals, etc.) but it's hard as I want to run in this shoe every single day. The stack height and drop (8mm) work well for me; I've run in both 4mm and 8mm and even 12mm and seem to thrive in the 8mm drop shoes. I can't think of a single "con" to this shoe. Oh, and it's reasonably priced, especially when you consider comparable shoes by other brands.

I haven't worn Saucony in awhile and the local retailer got these and i did some research and thought i would give them a go. I love the bouncy feeling. I normally do speed sessions in my Hoka Rincon or Brooks Hyperion tempo. These are slightly heavier than both those shoes but they are very comfortable and i found the propel me forward. I will definitely be adding them into my rotation. Love the color and i would same same sizing as any other saucony i have worn. I bought the 8.5 which is about half size larger than a normal sneaker for me.

They run a little wide. Great support for outdoor running.

Hole in left toe box within 2 months of wear. This is my 3rd pair! 1st pair wore slowly - hole in left toe box. Second pair wore more quickly - same hole, same place. On third pairfingers crossed.

I love these sneakers. I'm a walker and the cushion makes it so comfortable. I would buy again.

This review is conditional, meaning, I still need to put in more miles before I know for sure whether I like them or love them. After about 40 miles in them, it's clear they are so different from my other shoes--higher stack, nylon plate--and they feel great going fast! That said, they are hard underfoot--my right foot (never my left, oddly) often feels like I'm running on pins and needles, and my not-wide feet feel cramped on the pinkie toe side against the upper. For the moment, the Endorphin Speeds are not my daily shoe, but I do use them for tempo runs, speedwork, and will test them out on a virtual 5k this weekend. Though they could probably double as daily trainers, running slow in the Speeds feels like driving with the parking brake on. Because of their height, I wouldn't run in these anywhere except a road or treadmill--windy roads, rainy days, and trails are not going to be a good idea with these. Also, having a plate underfoot does not automatically equate to blazing fast speeds, at least, not for me. All that aside, I'm glad I bought them to get a sense of plate technology.

Great for speed. You can feel the design propelling forward motion. Low marks for sizing. Too small. Buy at least 1 size up. Too bulky on sides. Needs a slimmer side profile.

i like how light and airy this shoe is, however i would like a little deeper heel cup for my heel to set into. I love the colors offered. Im planning on using this for my upcoming races. I had hoped to use for my marathon but im gonna have to give it a little more time training with it to see if provides enough cushion for the distance.

This is a fun and peppy shoe to run in. Awesome for speed work. I do find the sole a bit narrow resulting in less stability. It's noticeably lighter and the upper construction is minimalist as a result. I'm not sure if these will be my racing shoe but I do enjoy them for speed sessions.

Has a narrow toe box and would only use for fast paced runs

Love everything about endorphin speed except that it runs narrow. I had to return, wish you had these in wide.

So I am still breaking in these shoe and so far they are good but these caused my feet to cramp up a bit. Not sure if it is due to the shoes or the lack of proration due to these shoes. Overall I feel these are great shoe but I have only had these for a few months and had an injury recently so haven't put more than 10 miles on these. I feel stable and don't have any issues with these on the road even though I pronate a bit when I run. ... they do make me feel fast ... really really fast ... so fast it makes fast people look not fast ...

Awesome shoes. Light, responsive and comfortable for long runs and tempo runs as well. 4 stars because I find the tow box to be narrower than I like. And not crazy about any of the color selections- too loud/ colorful for my taste.
