Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Pro

Do not believe recent articles that say if you have a wide foot, these shoes will work for you. Unfortunately they will not. I wear a 10.5 4E shoe. I ordered an 11 & an 11.5. Even these larger sizes do not give you enough room around the toe box, and when going up a full size to 11.5, not only do you not get the width, but you now have too much room in the heel. The first company that develops a carbon plate racing shoe for wide feet will get all my money, but I'm not holding my breath.

Simply put best racer on the market. Pace feels like I’m going a minute below what I’m actually going. Shoe is prone to heel slippage, but as long as you heel-lock tie the shoe you will be fine. For $200 the Nike next percents definitely have some competition. 10 out of 10.

Excellent lightweight racer. The fit was true to size. The upper breaths very well and easy to get a lock down. Love the extra boost of the carbon plate and PWRRUN PB midsole. The Speedroll technology help propel forward much quicker. This shoe is meant to go fast. The faster you run, the better it feels. After 30 miles, my favorite racing shoes on the market. Highly recommended!

I love these shoes…When I put them on it felt like I was walking on a bed of air…super cushy!!! Please note that these are mesh uppers but it makes for good ventilation and if you want to dress them up with a bit of color, your sock color will show through the mesh just enough…

The Endorphin Pro are definitely in the fray of one of the best new carbon plated race shoes out there. Some tests show them every bit as efficient as the Nike Alpha/Vaporfly, but for other people, a percent or so less. Depends on your stride and which one feels the best for you. I land mid-foot and like the bouncy and supportive cushion under the ball of my foot that the Endorphin offers. Not sure how it feels for a heel striker- but they're not as absorbing in the heel as the aforementioned Nikes. The carbon plate is stiff and resilient- you'll feel the energy return with each step. Heel slippage and mid-foot lockdown is a common complaint, and improved with version 2, but I haven't had an issue. I have a narrow, low volume foot that pronates a moderate amount and yet these offer me a modicum of support. PRed my marathon with these. I've got 250mi on my first pair, and there's 100-150 left in them, so they last a long time. I've found the tread to have great bite on dirt paths as well as road and have used them for two races on dirt where they worked out well. The Endorphin Speeds (not this shoe) are considerably more flexible and a more forgiving to run than the Pro's in as a regular training shoe, but also good for faster days. The Pro's are good for race distances and intensity from 5K to Marathon. I use them for all my fast training days and races. Friggen PRing everything in them. No shoe is perfect, but these are damn close. Saucony nailed it with this model, and it has been getting accolades from all the professional reviewers. Most prefer the E-Speeds to the E-Pro's for regular running... but the Pro's are definitely a bit faster.

Feels fast and looks good.

Excellent fit and so much so I bought another pair .

Never thought ponying up a couple hundred dollars would make a difference in my running. I was wrong. These things are ridiculously comfortable and springy. I can focus on pace and form vs the surface crushing my feet. Still with good feel for mid foot strike but enough spring and cushion for impact.

I love these shoes. I used them for a Marathon this last May and a local 12K (as well as the prep for these) and they perfect for the job! They very comfortable and springy. Typically shoes places say I have a wide foot. I didn’t need to order a wide shoes. I just ordered my normal size 12 and they worked great for speed days and my very first marathon.

This shoe in my normal size (14) was too narrow, so I exchanged for size 15 and it fits perfectly. So far, it's performed well during a couple of test runs. No heel slippage, I don't feel off-balance and no hot spots. I'll know more once I use these in longer efforts.

Fit great! True 12.5 size. Like walking on pillows!

I haven’t worn racing flats in years since I developed knee and foot issues in a half a while back. But, I’m trying to qualify for Boston and figured that I should try the new technology. These easily seem to take 10 seconds per mile off of my tempo runs and races. I’ve only done a couple half marathons And a couple training runs in them, but I’m impressed. I get good turnover. Runs seem effortless. They’re soft and yet responsive. My legs don’t feel as dead even tho I’m running faster. The high stack seems to take a little getting used to, and I wouldn’t want to have to take a ton of turns in them. But they fit nicely and I’m excited to try a full marathon in them… to be continued? The only complaint is that the next generation of these - at $200, feels hard to swallow for shoes that may last 100-200 miles…
