Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Pro 3

Nice design but too small and tight in the front of the shoe. I always wear a size 7 in Saucony shoes but these fit more like a 6 or 6.5. So, unfortunately I cannot wear them. The Endorphin Pro 2 fit just fine. Not sure what happened with the 3.

Felt nice out of the box, but finding the toe box too narrow. Was hoping the fabric would break in after a few runs, but getting pain/pinching in the metatarsal area. I have a narrow, low-volume foot overall. if I sized up, there would be way too much room in front. The men's equivalent is too roomy and wide elsewhere. As other reviewers have noted, the tongue slips down and to the side. It bunches up and creates pressure over the laces. I ended up threading the laces through one of the round holes in the tongue. Looks weird, but helps. I have the dark pink color and the dye does come off on my socks. Overall, I feel there was too much emphasis on fashion (narrow toe, pink sparkles, gold accents) and not enough on function - especially with the upper. I do like the responsiveness and ride, so will keep them for short races and speed work, but not for longer events. Also, avoid in areas with gravel, even on the road. Small rocks get wedged in the lengthwise groove in the sole! I do not want to have to stop and pluck pebbles out of the sole in a race. Hoping for improvements in the next version.

I wish I had bought a half size larger. I normally wear an 8.5 and that is what I purchased. My toes hurt and are bruised after running due to the forward propulsion created by the shoes.

These shoes are light and comfortable overall. Only major problem is the tongue - it moves towards the toes while I am running and causes an uncomfortable fold on my toes, which in turn causes pressure/pain. I cannot wear these for any long distance runs. Poor design since they did not put a tongue loop to prevent this from happening. Recommend for future models. Now I have expensive shoes for short distances when I was hoping to wear for marathon races.

I absolutely love this shoe from a functional standpoint I run in the entire family of Endorphin shoes (except the Shift), and from the fit, to the style, to the ride, they keep getting better- FUNCTIONALLY. However, this pair is less than 3 weeks old and I have about 60 miles on them. The bottom of the sole is already peeling off (rubber separating from shoe). I just used glue to try and secure it to get a few more miles out of it. At this price point, the shoes should be more resilient and ENDURE vs. just perform on a few runs.

Feels extra cush underfoot but I'm so disappointed in saucony for not offering wide width for us wide widthers. I'm a loyal fan of saucony's and would actually pay $$$ for these if the uppers were stretchier fabric instead of this stiff netting and if they had wide width. Some shoes are wide enough in their normal width (like the endorphin edge), but not these :(

Too bullky for runs. Color is more red tone than pink

Love the shoe, but I'm not a fan of the tongue on this shoe - the material it's made with is stiff and this is a make/break issue for me. Other than that, great shoe! Sorry for only 3 stars, but I hardly wear these because of the tongue. I'm a Saucony Endorphine Pro and Speed die hard - ONLY running shoes I will wear whether doing training runs or actual 5k races!

This shoe is great if you can find a colorway that fits the way you want it to. In the purchase of four versions of this shoe (four different colorways), they all fit differently. Same size, different underfoot feel, different length and widths. This has become a real problem with Saucony of late - the size and fit of shoes lack the consistency that they used to. Not sure if it is an issue with having multiple manufacturing locations or in the design process, but its a turn-off when other shoe companies are able to manufacture shoes that are consistent in size/fit.

A fantastic shoe ! I just wish it came in a W width . Way too narrow . Hopefully someone at Saucony will make the right decision and provide this shoe in a W width.

I love the endorphin pro line. I own all three models and the originals are still my number one favorite for running. The endorphin pro 2 are also good, but this model was very different from the first two. They do run a bit small and the tongue slides down. The foam sole is a bit too high off the ground for my liking, but they are still pretty comfortable. They are the most stylish and versatile of the three though (I ordered the black ones) but for serious runners, I'd stick with the original endorphin pro's or the endorphin pro 2.

I got the Endorphin Pro 3 last week and was very excited to try them. I took it out on a 10K run yesterday and started having issues 1 mile into my run. The shoe was rubbing the back of my feet and I developed a blister on mile 3. I continued the run, but it was very uncomfortable. I am disappointed as I had high hopes (I love my Pro 2). I did like the cushion on the Pro 3 but that's about it.

The version 1 of the Pro was my absolute favorite. The 2 was ok. I don't like the 3 much at all. The fit is nice, but it is way too squishy underfoot for me. I'm sure a lot of people like that, but the softness seems to zap my energy. I don't feel much energy return at all. It's like the faster I go the more I sink into the road. I'm not the fastest runner, but I'm not slow either (about a 7:00 to 8:00/mi range training and racing).

Big Saucony lover normally after running in basically every brand. Sadly, I found little difference between the pro 3 and the endorphin speed 2 and you wont know that until you take them for a test run and won't be able to return them. Huge waste of money, runs a little small in width, wish I could exchange them for other shoes, go with the endorphin speed 2.

These shoes are awful, and it has nothing to do with the pink soles. They feel cheap, they run small (which is a pretty big problem for non returnable shoes). I was so excited to have these, and so disappointed when they arrived .

Feet went numb while running in these! Past the return. Window by a few days unfortunately. First time trying this brand always been a HOKA fan but not impressed and may should have stuck to what I know. I will be trying to see these.

Waaaaay too narrow. My feet started to go numb halfway through a 5k race and felt very cramped. Really wish they would make carbon plated race shoes in wide sizes with fun colors! Seems like if you have wide feet you are always stuck with black, gray, and white, and you can't get performance race shoes either . If it weren't for the extremely narrow fit, the shoe itself is amazing! Just wish I could run in it comfortably for more than a mile.

I like the bounce and snappy response. Unfortunately the tongue slips, causing blisters on the top of my feet on longer runs despite wearing protective socks and they cause blisters at the heel. Also feel the front roll doesn't leave enough room to nicely bounce on my mid/forefoot, pushing me to land a bit further back which then kills the quads. I had hoped they would feel like a spiced up version of the speed, but these don't work for me.

These shoes are extremely light and comfortable however they squeak when I walk. I cannot get over the squeaking and should have returned them, but clearly I wore them outside before I realized how squeaky they were.

This is my second pair of Endorphin Pro 3 runners - 5 stars for the first pair and 1 star for this pair! (I've also owned a pair of original and Pro 2 runners; loved them as well) I was excited about using these for my Fall marathon but was shocked to find them rubbing my right heel when I took them out for a test run. I tried 2 more runs using a bandaid on my heel, but finished a 20 km run yesterday with blood seeping through the bandaid. There doesn't look to be anything defective with the shoe, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Sadly, I'm now only 6 days from race day and really don't want to risk running in these. They have great bounce but any benefit will be counteracted if they rip the skin off my heel. I just ordered a pair of Endorphin Pro Elite runners and am praying that they arrive before Friday and that the heel is as soft and flexible as advertised. If not, I guess that I will have to race in trainers, or my very well worn old Endorphins. All in all, this has been very expensive experience!

Nice snappy shoe although the tongue moves around and causes a blister on top of the foot

Very comfortable but I returned them since the shiny material made a crunching noise. It would have made me crazy if I heard this while running.
