Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Pro 3

Good shoe but I prefer the 2's which in my eyes are almost the perfect trainer

I was a loyal Saucony shopper due to their superior cushioning. But after Saucony changed ownership i found that the quality went down, I had more sneakers fail early with stuff coming unglued or plastic bits breaking. Also they closed their factory outlet store

I run 35 to 60 miles and week and have been predominantly using other brands. I wanted to try these for 15k + distance training. Started out by running a couple non-competitive 5k runs and a 10k. They have great return and push you to increase your pace. My first long run in them was a different case. After about 12k, the back of my heel started blistering, by 30k my feet were really hurting. Five days later, I am still experiencing heal pain including bruising that has never been an issue for me before with any other shoe. I'm not sure these shoes are right for me. The build quality is great and they do help with speed. Not sure if the trade off is worth it.

Amazing shoes with phenomenal cushioning, energy return and fluid turnovers through the stride. 12 miles is the longest i could run with them due to a blister fro. them I loved them, but the left shoe gave me a terrible achillies blister, even after breaking in 60 miles. I'm excited try tie on some endorphin pro 4s tonight with hopes the heel collar doesn't give me achilles blisters.

very snug toebox. Fit half size smaller. The ride is soft and stable.

Never had a shoe give me blisters on my heels like these. Unfortunate because I like the way they feel and bounce. Saucony should consider looking at the way Hoka flares their heels on many of their shoes.

I normally train in size 11 Endorphin Speed 3, which are 5 star in my opinion. I got the Pro 3 for a marathon to hope for a better time, based on a friend's recommendation. I bought the same size but they definitely run smaller. I ended up with the biggest blood blister I have ever had from the tightness on the size of the toes. Go a size higher to maybe avoid this.

I unfortunately returned this shoe, which is a first in the many years I've been buying Saucony shoes. I still love the brand, and the return process was easy to deal with. Still, this shoe has an unfortunate design element that did not work with my foot. Everything was, as usual, well built and beautiful (love the design of the shoe). However, the rigid rib along the back of the shoe, extending from the base of the heel to the top of the heel cup dug into my achilles so severely that I had to stop the run, take them off, and finish the run barefoot. The last Endorphin Pro had a much different heel, and in order to find a similar heel design, you have to step up to the Endorphin Elite (which I did). Maybe it was just me, but this heel design for this iteration of the shoe was just disastrously bad. A first for me in a long list of Saucony shoes over the years. It won't deter me one bit, but still, you should hear the feedback.

Shoes has hot spots after a 22 mile run. My left toe was throbbing after the run. I tongue move some and constricts the top of my foot. The fit is good. I bought these for a marathon but I won't running in them.

I love the stability and feel compared to other similar performance shoes. However I constantly get blisters on my achilles along the top of the heel cup. I tried different sizes, but can't wear them for anything but short runs. I typically run in Kinvaras with no issues. It'd be great of they could drop the heel padding or make the heel shorter like Saucony's other shoes.

GREAT DESIGN, BEST IN CLASS WEIGHT, THIN NYLON IS NOT DURABLE AT ALL. HAVE WORN THROUGH 2 PAIRS IN 10 WEEKS.

The Red Poppy actually leaves stains on socks. Never had I experienced a shoe which leaks color so much. Might be a factory issue.

I've had these shoes for a couple of weeks and I really like them and and how light they are. But the problem with them is I used them for one track workout and the sole is already chipping away. Perfect for road running and bad for track workout. They are a waste of money in my opinion.

First run have the feeling of bubble on the carbon plate..so annoying during the race

DisappointedRunning over 5 miles, the sole doesn't hold up for the entire run.

The shoe is really great, I loved everything about it, however only after 34 miles a big hole developed in the mesh area close to toes on left one. I understand the desire to make the shoe as light as possible, but the mesh should last more than 34 miles...

Loved the shoe. Super fun to run in. But there was a huge problem. The pull tab is super stiff and angled toward the Achilles. This hammered my Achilles when ever I pushed off when running. Causes massive pain in mi Achilles. Had to return the shoe. Please fix the pull tab. Noticed on my speed 2 that it is the same issue but bearable because the pull tab is softer. Design the pull tab like Hoka where it angles back from the Achilles and the shoe would be perfect.

Used these for the Philadelphia Marathon this past weekend... The good - Great energy return, good grip, felt good UNDER the foot but everywhere else I couldn't wait to get these off. The bad - The lockdown seams ok but the tongue is terrible and will slide all over the place shortly after you start running leaving nothing in between the laces and your foot. The sides near the ankle seem too high. When cornering my ankles would dig into the side of the shoe (Might just be my ankles). The shoes just feel overall cheezy with the upper, tongue, and laces. Worst but not least. These have terrible hot spots on the heel near your Achilles tendon. I have several other pairs of Saucony and have never gotten blisters on my Achilles until these. And when I say bad... I mean bad... rubbed raw and bleeding. Might just be my feet/ankles but there are too many downsides for these that I won't be running in them again.

I've run in and loved Endorphin Speeds for up to marathon distances since the first generation. The old Endorphin Pro's were too harsh for anything longer than 5ks. Enter the Endorphin Pro 3's...Nike Vaporfly competitors! The midsole's awesome, the carbon plate refined, but the tongue gets sucked into the shoe letting laces dig in , and the upper's too narrow...narrow toes, narrow arch that actually pinched my arch between the shoe upper and sole! It's a shame the sizing changed for such a great shoe! Saucony's spot on with all their other sizing...consistent as can be. But the Endorphin Pro 3's are way too narrow, especially for a shoe meant for marathon distances! No wide version available either...bummed!

I preordered the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 several months ago , I was so eager to get it and run in it. Gotta say I'm kinda disappointed. The shoe for sure has a lot of cushioning , stability and the lock down is good but the bounce and the responsive pop I'm used to in the Pro 2 is just not there for me. Not sure if it's the high stack height or what exactly. Glad so many others are enjoying this shoe but not for me. I will try and order a couple more pair of the Pro 2 if I can find them.

I'm a big fan of Saucony products and have been buying other Endorphin models since their inception. These are the worst shoes I have ever had. The carbon plate micro-vibrates and gives me blisters. It feels like the plate has its own life and moves independently from the shoes. I did a marathon and then a half marathon, and both times, my feet were damaged. I received the same opinion on this model from other fellow runners. Everyone is getting blisters in them.

There's no indication whether the product is men or women. Intended to buy 9.5 women, product came as 9.5 men. Product is also non-exchangeable or returnable.

Please figure out a way to keep the tongue from sliding down and wadding up under the laces!

Don't ask me to review a show for an order you didn't fulfill

Terrible shoe for the price. No bottom grip and the rubber that's down there is so thin it wears in less than 100 miles. They suck. Terrible. I'll never buy another pair of these crappy shoes.
