Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed Icon

All around great shoes for any type of run whether it be a speed workout, tempo run or long run. This shoe performs very well under all conditions. Also lightweight and comfortable.

True to fit. A great sidekick to the Pro. I am at about 60 miles without any issues with durability. I would absolutely recommend these for training, track, tempo or long runs.

Purchased both Speed and Pro. Had a small adjustment period with the Pro. Not so with the Speed. Felt just right from the first run. It has definitely improved my performance. Great versatility.

Have always used Kinvara for speed workouts but the Endorphine Speeds are way better

Amazing shoe; so smooth and light and fast....after 45 years of running I think the Endorphin Speed is as close to a perfect shoe as possible.

These shoes have great cushioning. They also make me feel like I'm running slower than I really am. Really. I had my heart rate monitor on and it was creeping up way higher than my usual rate, and felt like I was struggling. Then I crossed my first mile and realized I was running way faster than usualwhich was a relief, because I thought there was something wrong with me lol

Seriously one of the beat shoes I have ever run in during my 35 years of running. Using it for faster runs and long runs

Speedy Shoe! Perfect for an amateur trying to run faster

Snappy, bouncy, responsive, cushioned enough and really fast. Just had my first fartlek run in them this morning and felt it great. I hope the 'rolling' effect lasts as they wear off. The springy feeling is not there when you go slower than 5:30/km and I don't know how it will behave in marathon conditions after the first two hours, but yet... great, great shoe, a keeper. (I think the feel resembles a bit the nike zoomfly flyknit). The black 'future' colorscheme is just awful (but the only available), keep it simple saucony

This are the first true running shoes I've both and they didn't disappoint at all. Very comfortable, great boosters and perfect for daily training.

This would be a five star shoe if it didn't fall apart on me after five days. I am an ultrarunner. So I put in about 100/120 + miles a week. These fall apart after about five days for me. Other than that I love them. I switched from Hoka to this brand, but now I am using both. The rubber tread tears off after about 60-70 miles for me, and once that goes, the foam just disintegrates. So in short, I love these shoes. But hate that they do not last long. That said, Saucony costumer service has been very helpful.

these shoes are incredibly light, flexible and comfortable, with all of the space you expect from Saucony!

It's a very quick shoe. You can do easy runs in them but it's difficult to keep your pace at an easy rate.

I've been training in the Kinvara for almost 10 years. After buying a pair of the Kinvara 11's and feeling a frustrated with how lackluster the more recent models have become, I decided to switch to the Endorphin Speed for everyday training. Right out of the box, the shoes are amazingly responsive and snappy. My pace for distance runs has dropped by about 10 seconds to around 6:15, so it almost feels like cheating with the plastic plate. I was a little concerned about using a shoe with a higher heel-to-toe drop because I forefoot strike, but so far it hasn't been an issue. The upper is super breathable and durable so far. Also, I'm stoked about the amount of rubber on a shoe this light (the latest Kinvara's wear out way too quickly). I've been doing about 50 miles/week in them, and they do everything from speedwork to long runs effortlessly. Definitely would buy another pair. Also, @saucony, I'm hoping the Kinvara 12's are a return to form for the Kinvara line. I miss my favorite trainers :(

I'm a marathon runner. I complete anything from faster sprinting type workouts to tempo repeats to long weekend runs. I've honestly never been a believer that one shoe can make a difference. I was wrong. This shoe is not only light, but gives you a bounce in your step, every step. I've had my best/fastest workouts this week. I felt it the second I took that first step. I just found my forever shoe.

Amazing feel overall. I ran a Marathon PR (3:22) during a training run. I'm looking forward to more runs in them.

These are actually my first pair of Saucony shoes ever and will not be my last. I am glad I listened to the hype over these shoes, people are not exaggerating lol. They are very light, very comfy and they make me feel like I'm running with a lot less effort and a whole lot more efficiency! Probably the best running shoe I've ever worn. Definitely recommend! Great job on these Saucony.

So far I love them! This shoes do make you run somehwat faster. My previous mile run was 7:44 and it went down to 7:23 without pushing myself. Had the clifton 7 before but oh man this shoes feel more comfortable by far. Get them! You wont regret it

It's my first pair and I never heard of this shoe brand before so I was a bit sketchy about it. The shoes are pretty good and I like it so far. Customer service is great and the shoe itself is really nice in color. Just the shoe for me.

when i first time try it on my feet i feel that the shoes is tall and unstable because normally i wear racing flat, so to me it does. but when you run faster than 4:30s/k you will realized the shoes is made for speed and faster pace and it just feel bouncy as hell. it just my favorite shoes for now

Great all around shoe! Have used it for long slow days and race pace!

I've got 50 miles in these shoes and I absolutely love them! The ride is responsive but not harsh like a carbon fiber plate shoe...perfect for tempo/interval training.

Once you go Endorphin speed, you don't go back ....

These shoes have improved my run time tremendously. These shoes have decreased my rest period between runs. These shoes have allowed me to really enjoy running like I want to and see how far I can push myself. 10 out of 10, would recommend! Please Saucony, please continue to make this shoe for year to come.

The experience is massive... I never thought I could run faster with the shoe and beating my PBs. Its very light... The only thing I complain a little is the tounge connected to gusset on the left shoe is somewhat bulgy pressesing painfully against my skin when I really want to fasten it for speed workouts. Overall no regrets. worth the value and waiting time. I love it for speed no doubt.
