Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Shift

I am not a competitive athlete by any stretch, but we are avid walkers and the first week we put 75 miles on them and they did great!!! I have to wear custom inserts for my bad feet and they fit perfect. Keep making these and hopefully in more colors, please make them in Lime Green and Black?!?!

Finally! A shoe that can replace Hoka. This shoe is everything I was hoping it would be. Looks even nicer in person. Absolute natural feel right out the box. Cushy feel. About 75% cushion of original Hokas. Dexter totally changed that shoe and what it stood for. Been looking for a replacement for several years, it has finally arrived! Thank you, Saucony!!! Please don't jack around with the "formula" anytime soon. Thanks Jared and all that were involved in development of this shoe! A grandslam!!!

This shoe is a wonderful high mileage shoe. Rolls along nicely on easy days. Even handy at picking up the pace. Maybe not the ideal choice for theshold and faster. For those that cant run in "bouncy" shoes daily, this is perfect

A great daily trainer with a unique style and fit compared to what's out there.

really nice daily trainer, but really inconsistent in the manufacturing. One pair will fit just right the next really tight, next pair tight in one foot, next pair just right, they all will fit right after a few runs but I never know what I get since I buy online.

Great shoe, especially when they're new. Awesome support and comfort for a daily trainer. They did, however, wear out quicker than I would've expected.

Endorphin Shift are a very comfortable and supportive shoe. Good for runs, feels fast to me. I also seem to have a quicker recovery with these shoes versus others

I've tried all of the endorphin shoes now. Although this is a really good show the support in this shoes is a little much for me. Anyone looking for a shoe like this would be a good addition to their rotation. On short runs it works well but not on the long ones. Now this is my opinion on how these work for me. Now my love for Saucony will have me putting these shoes into my rotation of daily shoes that I love to be in.

Great shoes for a slow, long run. Pairs perfectly with faster training using either the Endorphin Speed or the Triumph 19. Not too soft but comfortable and the rocker tech allow for nice smooth transitions.

Very comfortable, but like most Saucony shoes they wear down too quickly.

Personally to me the shoe's cushioning is more on the form side which makes it feel more responsive. Has a nice roll when running. It doesn't feel clunky or heavy either. Comfortable enough to do long runs and more up paced runs as well.

A nice shoe for logging the easy miles. The ride is smooth and semi-soft. The heel counter could be a bit too aggressive for some people but outside of that, I would recommend this shoe for any shoe rotation.

My go to daily trainers. So good I brought two. Would recommend.

I really like the comfort and bounce of the shoe. After a few miles, the toe box does start to feel a bit snug. Hopefully the shoe will relax slightly after more use.

When I first got a pair of the Endorphin Shifts, I had already owned a pair of the Speeds (along with years of Kinvara and Freedom purchases) and was a little underwhelmed by how the supposed "daily trainer" in the Endorphin line felt on-foot. It was stiff, and while the SpeedRoll was very apparent, I didn't find the shoe comfortable for anything longer than 5 miles. Still, it was way too cool-looking to permanently shelve (I have the Speedskull Dia de Los Muertos color) so I brought it with me as one of two trainers when I moved states. After forcing it into its role as an every-other-day grind shoe, I really started to click with it. I'm not sure if it softened up or I just adjusted to the firmness, but this shoe feels SO nice. I'm only about 150mi in but very impressed. One note: the XT-9000 grip has been kind of underwhelming in my experience. For as few miles as I've got (I usually get 400-600 miles before retiring a pair), I'm already noticing some grip issues, especially on damp cement.

I run pretty flat footed and I found that there wasn't enough support at the heel to keep from slipping. I decided to revert to a different knot that I used in high school xc that pulls a little more tension across the tongue for a snug but not too tight fit. Love the shoes though. V comfy, stellar style, 4 starz

Good daily trainer. Nothing special. Would recommend.

Great comfort and feel. The cushioning is more then I expected , and is great for the long runs.

These shoes are great. I would give them 5 stars except I've gotten more blisters from running in them then any other shoe I've worn previously. I've started using better sock which helps some, but I've still gotten blisters. That being said, my knees feel much better than they did with what I was running in before. I'm 40, I run on pavement and I recommend these shoes for anyone putting in 20+ miles a week.

Well The ones I bought had a skull on them. Not what I was expecting :-) I should have looked at all the pictures first! They are comfortable though.

Love the shoe after the first five miles of break in. I've settled into the density of the cushion and stack height. I find that they are crucial for my recovery runs. Just wish the midsole were pwrrun pb. That would be a daily trainer sent directly from heaven.
