Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed

Great light weight and responsive ride! My husband and I have matching shoes!

I'm in my early sixties, these shoes are giving me a new lease on running life. I have more pep and energy in my stride. After dozens of marathons, i'm still ready to sign up, with these wonderful shoes helping to meet the challenges ahead.

I love this show! Best combination of light and cushion. I don't like shoes that are clunky with extra (too-much) support. These are perfect

Really amazing show! Feels like you are rolling on wheels - no braking action at all! I can't help but run fast in these things, and they have great cushioning to boot!

Hands down the best tempo day shoe I've had. It has a great feel during push off and a soft whisper quiet landing. You saucony guys knocked it out of the park with this shoe.

I've been excited for this shoe since it was announced, and I must say it lived up to all expectations. The nylon plate is super nice for going fast and the cushioning is exactly what I wanted for a long-run shoe. This is my go-to long-run and speed day shoe and will likely be my race day shoe. A true workhorse and the bright citron colorway is awesome!!

Love these shoes. Upgraded from my triumph 17's that were serving me well, but these are comfortable and fast. Took them on a 14 mile run last weekend and felt great after.

First pair of Saucony's since high school. Outstanding shoe for speed days. Looking forward to the next iteration. I've only worn these a few times but they're an absolute delight to have on feet.

These are both the fastest shoes I have ever owned, and also among the most comfortable. I use them for anything between a mile and 20 miles. The fit is very good, the only flaw I can see is that the traction is not the best and I would not take these on a technical trail.

Best running shoes I've had my feet in, within the last 35 years of running. Super Light, comfortable. Love these shoes and will purchase from brand name from now on.

Prs on prs on prs. Great runnings shoes, thinking about getting another one.

This is my first pair of saucony shoes. Fits true to size. I like the speed roll technology. I have been using this shoe for my faster runs and medium distance runs up to 10 miles. I am a lean 200lbs and have a good amount of muscle so I am used to a shoe with a good amount of cushion. This shoe feels light and fast and has plenty of cushion for these runs. Definitely will buy another pair and definitely recommend them.

Perhaps one of the best shoes I've ran in. It's snappy with the right amount of cushioned perfect for putting in long miles and for quicker pace runs.

This is one of the most fun shoes I've ever run in. The midsole technology is incredible. It's both snappy, protective, and fairly light. There is a reason this is one of the most hyped shoes of 2020! One downside I haven't heard much in other reviews: the large toe box volume + narrow width. I already have narrow feet (B or C width) so I was surprised that one of the silver overlays kept pressing on my right pinkie toe. Seems unnecessary, and I hope Saucony will eliminate it in the next version. I struggled to get the upper snug to my feet. I have a low volume foot. Maybe could have gone down 1/2 a size (usually an 11, but went with an 11.5). If I lace these tightly, my feet go numb. So I've had to lace these much looser than I do with other shoes, esp. race-type shoes. Means that I don't feel totally secure, but the love I get from this midsole makes it worth the compromise. In short, a few small flaws (which may be personal to me) ,but this is a fantastic shoe that i would buy again and in the future.

Very responsive shoes. They keep shape/tightness well. Plus it's a good value which is important when looking for a training shoe you know will accumulate miles quickly. Will be back for a second pair in a few months and looking forward to trying the pro model for race days too.

One of the best pairs of running shoes I've ever owned!! Will definitely be buying another pair of these in a few months.

It's light, but surprisingly cushioned! These are my go to new pair of shoes.

I'm so impressed with these shoes! Perfect fit, true to size, soft and smooth ride and seriously making me run faster and saving my legs. I'm 100% sure purchase another pair. Toe box a little wide for narrow feet but I can live with that. Already started too recommend to friends and family 'da Speed'. Perfect for long runs and speed work! Aloha

These are some of the most intriguing running shoes I've ever worn. On the first run, there is a strange sensation (stiffness?) along the lateral part of the foot that I wasn't used to. Maybe that was due to the "plate" but I got used to it after the first run. These shoes are fast, but not in the uncomfortable "racing flat" sense. I was able to clock in the fastest times in anything from 13-mile tempo days, to shorter intervals, and my legs still came out unbeaten. The balance between light weight, cushioning, and response is amazing. I would definitely recommend these for half or full marathon racing. Endorphin Speed invokes weird mix of feelings around fairness: the speed is definitely encouraging, pushing you to train faster; and there is some lingering sense of guilt regarding how much of this speed is purely due to your strength. The technical progress in shoe technology is clearly showing here, and I think many modern day runners will go through some mental process to make sense of it all.

Better than Kinvara, buy a pair for IM Cozumel and it was very comfortable.

I bought these in July and have used them as my daily runners ever since. I'm not a high volume runner - I top out at 8 miles or so - on any given run, but that's because I only really started to get into running in May. As such, once I bought these I immediately "felt" the difference is Speedroll. I'm short, the rocker shape of the shoe really taught me how to run properly, with a stronger focus on running in the forefoot in order to get the most out of every stride. For the people complaining about wear on the hero of the outsole, I think they're neglecting how to "run properly". That's coming from a guy that consistently wears out his own everyday non-exercise shoes on the outside back, without fail. I have had no such outsole wear issues whatsoever with the Endorphin Speed, and I've put 157 miles on them according to Strava. For those complaining about outsole durability, I think their running style isn't well-suited for a PEBA Foam shoe in the first place. I run a 25 minute 5K at just under 8 minutes a mile, thanks to the Speeds. In other shoes, I'm in the 8:30 or higher range. If you're typically a heavy heel striker in most running shoes, the Endorphin Speed actually presents as an opportunity to revisit your running form. If you're unable to adapt to the running form required of a rocker-style shoe, (ie if you run really flat footed) you probably won't find as much utility in this shoe as you'd like. Last thing: fits completely true to your normal shoe size! Don't need to half-size up or down due to narrowness or lack of toe space, like some other brands.

Speed roll technology is real! I love these shoes so much I bought a 2nd pair and a pair for my husband. We both improved our times.

Easily the best pair of running shoes I've ever owned!

Best shoes I've had; push you forward, spongy, very light. Running for 60 years and these are the best I have had, very grateful, put a big smile on my face. Just finished running down a bridge on the Gulf Coast in them. They are great!!!

Great shoe, good support, enough cushioning, responsive, light.
