Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed 2

Love the shoe - Love Saucony. Only kinda sorta negative is balance is different, which is a drag for an old fart who's too stiff-necked to quit.

The reason am giving 4 stars and no 5 is because for whatever reason the women color ways are boring. Why the men get all the fun colors. You should make all colors available to all genders. But aside from that is a very good shoe, is my shoe to go when I want to go faster for a longer distance but don't want a too plush feeling, it's has just the right amount of cushion to make it fast but no hard flat. They right amount of cushion to be comfortable on a long 13.1 run without that "running on a mattress" feeling. Please Saucony make those cool, fun colors the men have available for women.

Recently bought the first Endorphin Speed. Not sure what the intended purpose. It's lighter than daily trainers but not racing weight. Can feel a little of the snap. The main drawback is I can feel the plate on the bottom of my feet.

Good, fast, confortable shoe. Very good for fast intervals. Lack a bit of support in sharp corners. However, the sole tore off after just 200 kms.

It's a light and poppy shoe, but feels too unstable for consistent runs in them. They are good for hard runs of a 10k or less, but can't do more than that in my opinion.

They are a bit narrow in toe box so not sure how many long runs i can go on

Saucony size is too small. You have to buy 1 size large to get right fit!

True to size, however surprisingly narrow. The outsole is also squeeky, distracting so, and the heal could use see additional support. Luckily I did not pay full price for these, but would return these if I had not worn them outside on multiple occasions.

Only put a few miles on them. Very light but i didnt like them as much as the 1s. They didnt feel as springy to me and they fit much narrower. I have wide feed so they were very uncomfortable. Unfortunately had to return

The sneaker is vary light and comfortable when walking but hurts the foot when just standing around for more then 15 mins

There is no doubt these shoes are very fast, they took more then 2 minutes off my 4-mile workout run (33 minutes reduced to under 31 minutes) when compared to the stability shoes I normally wear. But they feel wobbly, especially when walking. They force me to land more on my forefoot than I am accustomed to, which caused me some lower leg and hip pain. My biggest complaint is the left shoe doesn't fit as well as the right. (I simultaneously bought a pair of Kinvara 13s, and they fit both feet perfectly, so I'm not convinced there's a problem with my left foot.) The right foot fits very well, but the left shoe seems to force my heel inward and down, as if the plate wasn't level or the foam is thinner there. Instead of returning it I doctored the insole until my left foot lands more normally. I've heard the Speed 3 model adjusts the foam and support some to improve stability, and maybe my complaint is related to the issue they were trying to address. I'm glad the shoes are light and fast, but I likely won't work out regularly in them. I like the Kinvara 13 shoes a lot better for training.

I had been running with the Kinvara 12 for a year and loved how light and responsive they were. I bought the Endorphin Speed 2 to use for longer runs (12+ miles) and tempo runs. They feel really fast when going at a good pace (sub 7:30 mile), but really cumbersome when warming up or cooling down at a slower pace. The laces are ridiculously short, and the biggest issue is the tiny toebox. I've lost three toenails to these shoes already, since they lack the roominess of the Kinvaras.

They feel light, fast and snug. A pleasure to run in them! The problem I have with Saucony products is that they don't hold up for the long haul, falling apart after 6 - 12 months of running. For the amount we pay for these, I would expect more resilience.

They are giving me blisters. They feel weird on my feet.

This is my 3rd pair of Endorphin Speed 2s, and this is the first pair that I don't think I can wear. I want to love them like I do the other 2 pair, but I can't and it's very disheartening. I've put just under 100 miles on these shoes hoping I'm imaging things, but there is something not right under the right heel of this pair. There is an imbalance that you can feel while walking and, to a lesser degree, while running. This has caused some nagging pains that I have tried to explain away with the need for breaking in, relacing, environmental conditions, & even sock choices, but nothing has fixed my concerns. This is truly sad because I have a pair of Stars & Stripes and Vizipros, and absolutely love them.

Good looking shoes, light however was a tight fit, thus had to return.

It's very soft, springy, and breathable. I sized up 1/2 from my regular shoe size and the fit is perfect. Heel locks in nicely as well. The biggest problem is the shoe feels very unstable especially under the heel. It almost forces my foot to under pronate. Did a couple short runs and as long as you don't heel strike they are fine. I think the shoe is too advanced for me and will try the triumph. However, after running 10 miles yesterday my feet and knees feel great.... I'm really confused and not sure how I feel about them... lol

Seems a bit more flexible and less supportive than the ES1. Needed to switch from ES2 half way through a marathon as foot pain transmitted to knee and hip pain. Switching relieved all three pains, and I've since done 15 milers some without issue in the ES2. Does not seem as revolutionary as switching from Asics to the ES1. Will eventually try the ES3. Best wishes!

I'll start off by saying that these running shoes are very good for what they are. I feel faster when I run in them, and my shin splints went away almost instantly once I switched over. However, the insole thing that came in my left shoe keeps getting pushed back into the heel. It rides up the back like it wants to come out. I'm sure that it could just be the way that I run, but I didn't have this problem with my adidas ultraboosts.

This shoe is as advertised, but I was not used to the rocker sole. Best use on flat straight surfaces.. I need wider soles running on my hilly course (especially the downhills parts).

I ran my first 26.2 in New Balance shoes. Wide toe box and low sole with a slight off set. This pair feels very high up and very heel striker dominated sole. I do enjoy the weight and the snug breathable material. The cushion isn't necessarily bad just have to get used to it. Reasonable price and great construction overall. I'd like to run my PCH marathon next April in Saucony gear. Don't know if these shoes will make it that long. But we'll see!

Great shoe. Have owned several pair. This pair had some of the upper tearing after about 50 miles, which is unusual.

These fit a little too snug compared to the same ones I already have in a different color. I don't know why. I love the look, but they're just not s as comfortable as my other ones because of the tighter fit.
