Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed 2

I am a long-time Saucony user, and I bought a pair of Endorphin Speed runners in the spring of 2021 and loved them so much, they were the best shoes I have ever owned. So I ordered the exact same size of the endorphin speed 2 for this fall/winter and they crowd my toes and my toes go numb. Toe box seems too narrow and they don't feel nearly as comfortable as the previous model. So sad because I loved these shoes so much for long-distance running, but I can't run in my new pair without discomfort and numbing. Also, the laces are shorter than the previous model which prevents me from lacing them up in the "runners loop" which is too bad.

After being a lifelong ASICS wearer, my husband convinced me to make the switch to this shoe after doing some research. I hadn't had good experiences before with Saucony, but decided to try these because they are so light and the plate. First 10km run in them was my fastest time - I had to adjust my stride because my feet had never felt so light! Once I got used to the plate kick back, my feet and heel have never felt better, and I have run in them for 10km daily for 4 months with no soreness or injury. Definitely my new shoe. Thanks hubby :-)

I have purchased a few pairs of the endorphin speed's and LOVED them. I purchased the speed 2 and they provide much less room in the toe box than the original endorphin speed's. Unfortunately, I thought maybe I just needed to break them in - not the case.

Shoe is really fast! Everything is great EXCEPT a major problem with the toe box. My fourth toe on my right foot hurts when I run with these. I already sized up like I always do for my running shoes. Left foot is fine. Not sure what is the problem with these shoes. If it weren't for the toe box, this would be a perfect pair of running shoes.

I've now bought three pairs of Endorphin Speed 2 (including the limited edition Zeke). Speed 2 is not meant for everyday walking and not for easy pace runs. When I first took them out for an easy 4 mile run, I could literally feel the propulsion or takeoff from the heel. Hence the apt marketing term speed roll. It took a bit of getting used to, the bounce and unsteadiness from side-to-side (lateral movement). But Yes! I'm aiming to improve my time for my next 26.2 mile race and Speed 2 is doing precisely that. This morning, my pace was 7:30 min / mile for a tempo run. Who doesn't love speed?!

I purchased the endorphin speeds and absolutely loved them. I proceeded to buy the endorphin speed 2 and like the following reviews, my toes feel cramped. I have the correct size and am so disappointed. I ran in them twice so far, short distance, trying to break them in. Hopefully, this eventually helps.

I recently bought the Speed 2, a splurge and change from my usual triumphs and hurricans that I've alternated between over the past 8+ years. (I buy new ones every 5-7 months due to wear from running every day.) These shoes look good, are good quality and have great action when running or even walking, rolling your foot and propelling you forward. BUT be warned, if you have longer toes like I do, these do NOT fit like the triumphs or hurricans in the toe box. I have lost a toe nail on both feet because of the shorter space, even though there isn't as much padding as the other models. To clarify, size up. I am a 9.5, but for this shoe, I'll need to buy another pair in size 10 to save the rest of my toe nails.

I am coming back from a knee joint injury and these shoes helped me tremendously. They are SO lightweight, breathable and super comfy. They run true to size for me and I feel like I am floating when I run. Please dont change these too much. They are my new favorite and go to for long training days. So thankful to have found them!

Finally a shoe that meets my checklist. I wanted a shoe that was lightweight, well cushioned, breathable and snappy and the Endorphin Speed 2 met all those points. I have only done 4 runs in these shoes ranging from 8 - 13 miles but knew from the first few strides I was going to be happy. The shoe likes to go and mile after mile keeps my legs feeling energized. I am training for a 45K race and wanted a shoe that would comfortably take me through my long training runs and my speed workouts. The shoe fits like all Saucony's have fit me. The one thing I do notice is I get a small rub on my pinky toe I'm not sure if that is from some sort of overlay. Also the shoe laces could be a tad bit longer. Thanks Saucony for this shoe!! I love it.

I recently purchased these shoes and unfortunately, I'm not really crazy about the fit, especially the elevated foam. I find they make my 3rd and 4th toe feel like they are numb, as they give me a pins and needles feeling while I run. I have never felt this is with any other running shoe before. I purchased the correct size and made sure not to tighten my laces to hard, and I still feel this awkward numbness. I would not recommend.

The Endorphin Speed 2s are amazing! I've been running in the Hoka One One Clifton 7s for the last year and was about to buy another pair until I came across these. I broke them in last night and they felt so good. So light, yet the perfect amount of support and cushion to propel me forward on the pavement. I love the rocker feel similar to my Hoka's but these felt even more springy, which I love for distance runs on pavement. I'm usually between a 7.5 and 8, and the 8s fit me just right so I would definitely go up a half size if you are usually in between.
