Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed 3

I wish I could buy a truckload of Speed 2, I can't seem to adjust to the Speed 3s they give me soar legs

Saucony did a nice job messing up the Endorphin line of sneakers with this one. For all the reasons I loved 1 and 2; snug fit, snappy response, not bulky...the Endorphin 3 is not. There is no response to this shoe; I feel like I am running on a Hoka or a pillow. The old snap back from 1 and 2 feels like an absorption. I am curious if there is any plate in this sneaker of any material. The entire shoe seems much wider then the 1 and 2. I feel like I am running with a box on my foot. This was a very expensive fail.

I want to first say that I LOVE Saucony and run almost exclusively in their shoes. Unfortunately, the Speed 3 does not live up to its name. This is a soft, daily trainer with durability issues and any spring whatsoever was gone after 100 miles The upper has been falling apart since about the same time, and it feels like the shoe promotes a heel strike for some reason but theres no rocker to help you get to your big toe. Very weird feeling shoe, that just never feels right. I would opt for almost anything else in their line of road shoes before spending the money on these.

These make my ankle turn inwards causing soreness to my right inside shin. So I wear them to workout in not run.

The shoe's tongue is too short making it difficult to pull your foot into the shoe! Also, these are the "flimsiest" cheapest shoe strings I've ever seen!

I ran 300+ miles on my speed 2s during marathon training and switched over to the 3s 6 weeks before expecting a similar shoe but upgraded. The 3s initially felt great on the foot, but after about 4 miles they had completely tore through the skin of both my Achilles. This injury put me out for about 2 weeks during a pretty critical stage of my marathon training. I have never had any issues with a shoe before and feel strongly that this has to be a design issue, or at least is extremely incompatible with my foot type/running style.

Though the Endorphin Speed 3 is comfortable, I returned them and bought multiple pairs of the Speed 2s. The Endorphin Speed 3 does not have the bounciness/energy return that the Speed 2 had. Hopefully, the energy factor will be incorporated in the Speed 4s when they come out. The size and quality are great, but energy return is the biggest factor for me. If this is not a concern for you and you prefer a more stable and softer run than the Speed 2, you will like these.

Really wanted to like it. Looks great. Super lightweight. Relatively fast. However, gives me hip pain, almost immediately after using.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Shouldve just made these their own line of Endorphins instead of calling this one of the Endorphin Speed's.

Big difference from the Endo Soeed 2. The plate in the sole is very distracting because it seems to correct my stride and makes me painfully aware of every step. The tongue is concave, which is different from the Speed 2, and while I don't really notice it when running, it is weird pulling the shoes on. Materials are high quality, but the round laces require double-knotting to keep tied. They came untied three times on my first mile with these shoes. The look is great, quality is good, but because of the landing and push off feel, I immediately started stocking up on Endo Speed 2 until I can find a suitable replacement. I don't plan to buy another pair of 3s, and will be trying to find the next best thing to the Speed 2 and Pro 2.

After 25 miles I'm sending them back. With the 8 mm stack it simply pushes your foot forward into the oversized mid section and toe box, also the heel cup comes way to high on your stride rubbing on the achilles. The added stack height did not help this shoe as it seems a bit unstable and so wide in the midfoot. This version is a step back from the 2 that can be used for speed work. Please don't believe the hype on the net about these shoes. Run in them before you purchase. It is a completely different feel then the older versions that were easy to get a good toe off, these feel flat and squishy. Also, once again the traction is horrible, had one run in the rain and felt horrible around corners.

The best feeling shoes I've ever owned. However, in less than 25kms, the foam is showing a lot of wear. Maybe I have a defective pair?

I really wanted to get these, but the colors are terrible! It would be nice to have options that aren't so flashy.

I love the shoe and the feel but the sole did not last long. I am 120 miles into them and they are worn through in places.

At 228km and this shoe now has rips. The small rips on the logo was there way earlier but the larger one near the sole line I just noticed this morning before the run. My other running shoes even the Saucony triumph 21 never had tears on that side. And I only run this on pavement. Maybe this is a quality control issue only. Other than that the shoe runs well for my speed workouts.

I loved the speed 2 but these suck in every way in comparison. For some reason they really changed the way they fit. They are way slower and not as soft feeling

Love the shoes but after 3 runs the rubber tread on the right shoe began to pull off. They feel very comfortable and quick but I can't recommend due to quality issues.

I only buy Saucony and have bought every version of this shoe. This is the first pair of ANY training shoes that I've gotten blisters on back of my heel. I don't know what they changed but the back is different. I wore them one time and there's no way I could wear them again. First time I'm disappointed with Saucony.

Not comfortable as I expected Quality is good just not satisfied

Good quality but poorly designed. These shoe won't last 200 mile. These is my second pair of these same design and the only reason a bought them again was cause I wanted to gave them a second chance. At first I thought it was something wrong with my feet but on this second pair I noticed that after shortly of time using theme it started hurting my right side foot exactly in the same area then the previous. I'm fan of suacony for several years but they honestly failed in this design. Long story short STAY AWAY from these designs. Don't waste our precious money.

100% Happy how they fit and feel BUT the quality of the materials are sadly poor. I wore them 3 days, 16 miles total and the lateral labels/decoration is falling apart. 3 DAYS

The soul is pulling off already, and I haven't even had them three weeks

The Speed and Speed 2 were great shoes. The Speed 3 lacks the pop and effortless turnover that made 1 & 2 so much fun. Please return to form in the Speed 4.

I've been using Saucony shoes for years and have never had an issue until I started using the Endorphin Speed 3. I bought a pair in February and within 50 miles one of the insoles had come loose and fallen out. I bought another pair hoping it was a one-time thing and the insoles came loose within 2 weeks of running in them.

The shoes ripped after my first run, went on a small easy trail to do a walk and came home to find out the shoes were ripped
