Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed Icon

Very competent road shoes with adequate cushion but light enough to go really fast. The propulsion aspect of these shoes is top tier relative to all running shoes on the current market.

Great solid runners. I use the Endorphin speed for tempo runs. Outside of the Nike % these are very close in term of speed, and cause less issues (back wise) for me personally anyway.

Great sprinting shoes, but not for everyday walking use. Also, don't know how they would work for running distance over 1 mile, but probably ok. I only use them for sprinting and athletic training, not distance running.

I'm not a shoe guru but I can tell you that this shoes is fast and comfortable. Perfect amount of cushioning and the speedroll/nylon plate really moves you along. My second run in them set my half marathon PR. Haven't had them out for a threshold run yet because I strained my gluteus medius. Love the future colorway and the upper is fantastically breathable. Fits true to my Nikes with just a bit more room in the toe box as compared to my Turbo 2's. Couldn't be happier with my purchase

I have been running for about 10 years and have gone through several pairs of shoes from many brands. I have over time tried many types of shoes: maximal cushioning, zero cushioning, low drop, high drop, etc. I have found that as a neutral runner with a midfoot strike the Endorphin Speed is the perfect shoe. I have run approximately over 400km in this shoe since last summer. The Speed is light, bouncy, cushioned with a slight bit of firmness - all good things! The upper breathes well but is also snug enough to keep your foot in place. The outsole has held up well. I see myself buying another pair soon. This shoe always puts a smile on my face when I start running. No other shoe does this in my current rotation (see photo). About me: run about 60km per week. 4:30 to 6:30 min/km pace. 78 kilos. Narrow foot, normal arch, midfoot/neutral runner.

Super comfortable and light. It took a little time to get used to the rocker bar.

The most comfortable and supportive pair of running sneakers I have owned up until now. Think of the price as an investment for your lower body when engaging in high impact activities.

I love the new technology and competition taking place in the running shoe market. Saucony is my new favorite brand because of the durable outsoles and the insane amount of energy return in this midsole. Trying this shoe on in the running store I was blown away before I even stepped foot on the treadmill. I could not believe how snug, and lightweight the upper of the shoe felt. Even the lacing was spot-on without having to tie the runner's knot. There was no slipping on my heel and the material was padded yet not slick. It has a very breathable upper and I've had not blister issues, even on downhill courses. I recently set a PR in the 10k, beating my time from 10 years ago by 15 seconds. It's really hard to imagine how a running shoe could be better. Possibly a groove under the heel to provide even more spring. It is lightweight and well-built, and I personally love the color options.

I have run in Freedoms and Triumphs for the last 5-years and have fallen in love with Saucony shoes. However, my new Endorphin Speeds have kicked up my appreciation to another level. Great toe space, wonderful heal support (I like my laces a little looser on the top of the foot), and a very comfortable feeling while running on my Peloton or on the streets. These are indeed everything I could ask for!

These are the fastest shoes I've ever owned or run in. Great purchase.

This shoe is one of the wonders of the world. It does everything with perfection. It would be super if Saucony shaved some of the weight in the future.

I love the Endorphin Speed! With the nylon plate I have found that there is more give in those than the carbon fiber plate. I use the Endorphin Speed for more training runs (i.e.- tempo runs and long runs). I was anticipating that I would use it more for just speed/workout days but has been a great surprise for longer runs and even easy days! Great shoe!

Perfect shoe for all paces and distances. It does prefer a quicker pace however. Legs feel good after long run efforts.

Awesome shoes, I really love running in these! At first it was tight but after I broke them in I fell in love. Do not change a single thing about this shoe.

Excellent all around shoe that lasts. I'm 170lbs and my first pair is still going strong at 400 road miles.

I am training for Marine Corps OCS, so I needed shoes to train intervals 400m up to 6 mile runs. These shoes feel both super soft underneath me and feel very responsive so I can run faster longer. The structure of the shoe also helps to keep me on the balls of my feet when I'm getting tired. I will say they can feel a bit unstable when running on the dirt, but these are the best running shoes I've ever worn. Please make them in all black for us people who like to keep a low profile!

I really cannot explain how good these shoes are! First time I ran in them I knocked almost 4 minutes off my 5K. Best shoes I've ever had!

These shoes are lightweight and bouncy. Excellent at speed for long runs, tempo, and other workouts. Love them!

Replaced a worn out pair of Kinvaras. Much more cushion and definitley feel the plate to push you forward in stride. However, on uneven pavement, i feel some ankle instability (almost like my ankle on the verge of rolling), flat pavement, no problem. And, when walking in shoes, also notice a "wobbliness". Overall, 5k and 10k times came down with these shoes - they work! i would recommend.

Best running shoe I have ever owned. Retired military Sergeant Major with 30 Years of running under my feet. I will never buy another brand of running shoe

These shoes are phenomenal. I am a bigger guy and these make runs comfortable and easy.

These shoes are worth every penny thus far. After my first few runs I can say that I have had zero ankle, knee or hip pain. The shoe is very lightweight and remarkably springy while running.

I love this shoe. It is perfect for training and my budget.

The Endorphin Speed is by far the best running shoe I have ever owned. Out of the box they exceeded my expectations and after 50km I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a daily trainer or race day shoe. Fit: 10/10 Lockdown: 10/10 Ride: 10/10 Comfort: 10/10 Durability: 10/10 Style: 9/10 (As an 80's baby I love them, others might not)

Best shoe ever!!! These keep me in form, and keep me wanting to push every run!
