Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed 3

So far very good. My last two pairs are no longer wearable due to holes in the toe box.after only 100 miles at best. Walking only. If the hole issue happens again this will be my last pair of Sauconys

Good performance and lightweight. However, about the durability wise, I'm not sure.

I love the endorphin speed 2s. I was hesitant to buy the speed 3s, but a friend did recommend them. Initially I felt like they are not as cushiony or as comfortable as the speed 2s. I have gotten used to them over the past several weeks and they are growing on me. I like them, but the speed 2s are definitely superior.

I bought these a month or more ago. I'd had the older version of the same shoe for the past two years (I know that's too long!) This shoe feels pretty good, I might have done myself a disservice buying the same style shoe. I had some pressure points one my left foot and they're much better now but still there a little bit. Either way, the shoe and style works great for me!

I ordered my usual size 8 but it was a bit tight. So I ordered 8.5, which feels much better. The only issue was the hassle involved in returning the size that didn't fit.

I have worn the Endorphins since they came out. I tried these after ordering the Shift 3(I usually wear the shift). The Shift has so much fluff under your foot, I was unable to run or walk in them without joints and feet hurting. These are very much like the Rides I have, comfortable, not nearly the cushion of the shift. If I put these side by side with the Rides, which may be the last version, they look like the same shoe, and feel the same. I would buy these again.

Still a great shoe, but lacks substance of the speed 2

Got this about a month ago . It's ok . The previous model was better . This model doesn't have as much cushion and support. Don't think I will purchase again

Really enjoy this shoe - lightweight and good amount of support. Springy enough for speed but supportive enough for longer easy runs. I do think they run a tad small. Not tight enough to prompt me to return them, but next pair I order I'll go 1/2 size up.

Shoe a little bit narrow. Cushion good. Do not like the new style tongue.

I LOVE this shoe and run exclusively in Saucony with the exception of Nike for some races. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the strip on the center sole of the shoe has peeled back multiple times. I have many Saucony shoes and have never had an issue with any of them so I was surprised by this. The customer service team was great in sending me a new pair for free but it has happened twice already. I am hoping this third pair is a charm. I think this issue might be specific to the white pair because I have the Endorphin Speed 3 in another color and have had no issues. The white pair looks so sharp though!

Good shoe but think the Speed 2 was more responsive. Very comfortable out of the box. Great cushiony feel and soft flexible upper. I use these primarily for treadmill work.

Love this shoe. Have done multiple marathons and 70.3s in them. Only downside is their durability. Worth it!

I have been a loyal wearer if another brand for 14 yrs, and I'm still wearing the other brand. But they don't have the same beautiful colors Saucony does. That is actually what prompted me to try these. The store that did the fitting I think sized me up a half size, so they feel quite big in the toe box area. Otherwise, they've been great for short runs. What I really like most is the soft, flexible shoe laces.

Bought this shoe in fall 2022 and it was fantastic. Saucony made some great updates, but kept the same Endorphin feel (lightness, springiness, etc.). My only minor complaint is that the upper mesh broke through in the toe box for both shoes after about 200 miles -- not too bad, but my other Endorphins lasted to 400+ miles, so was sad to retire the shoe early. All in all, if you're looking for a fast, comfortable shoe that can go for long runs and perform well in speed workouts - this is a great shoe!

Switched from Asics because they changed the shoe. So far liking the Saucony's. Hoping the sole holds up, doesn't seem to be made well, feels like a piece of styrofoam. Overall shoe provides good shock absorption, bounce and encourages a good roll for proper toe off.

I absolutely loved these shoes. I didn't see them as being a daily trainer, but more for like speed work days or even a race. Extremely comfortable, gives you that extra "pop" in your step to push you forward. My only gripe that made me end up taking them back was that the back of the shoes was really thin and the rubbing destroyed the back of my heels. I even tried wearing taller socks and it rubbed holes in them. It's a real shame because I really like these Shoes and I would love to try them again in the future if they fix it.

I have to say this is not my favorite incarnation of the Speed. I know it's new and improved and some of the features, I really like, but the length of the upper and the way the tongue seems to come up higher on my ankle bone is simply a problem the longer I run. I've tried various ways of lacing them and I still get the pressure near my ankle. I never felt that with either the Speed or the Speed 2. I was going to use this Speed 3 shoe for my marathon in a couple weeks as the nylon plate is a bit more flexible and forgiving, but after doing a few long runs in it, I think I'm going to stick with my Pro 2's for the race and keep these Speed 3's for tempo runs and other training runs.

I bought these for triathlons after my friend bought the same pair and wouldn't stop raving about them. I'm typically a heel striker and these babies have me mid foot striking now! Took some getting used to since my calves don't usually engage this much but they def are speedy shoes (I'm averaging 30 sec/km faster) The only thing I would say are these guys are SUPER narrow and runs small (I got a half size up) and the tongue isn't connected to the laces so it does slip down if you don't pull it as you put your shoes on. I also wish the whole shoe was pink (like the purple speed 3s) but overall I'm really happy with these and I look forward to racing in them this season!

Overall a great shoe. Was looking for better than speed 2 but not so much. The speed 3 feels wider and overall bigger in size compared. I don't think I'll purchase another 3 when needed. May look to a different style.

I liked the Speed 1s a lot until I needed just a bit more cushioning for marathon type miles due to some medical issues; the Speed 2s gave me plantar fasciitis issues while just transitioning to them so they were returned. The Speed 3s fixed all that and feel good, but that tongue is awful. It's too thin and hits at the wrong spot so the end of it rubs/digs in; but if it's not doing that it slips down into my shoe so then my laces are across my ankle. Bring back the older tongue versions and it's a great shoe.

Great shoe all around except this new saucony trency with and agressivee inward slant to heel counter. Heel counter is too firm for this design and puts unnecessary pressure on the achilles. May have to do surgery on these for long run comfort. At least the pro heel counter doesnt have a hard cup and is less abrassive.

I bought the first version of the speed and strongly disliked it. After reading about the changes made to version 3 I decided to give them a try and I am very glad I did! So much more stable and comfortable. The softness of the midsole paired with the rocker and light weight of the shoe make my feet happy for miles and miles. I was pleasantly surprised with how stretchy the upper is as well. The only complaint I have is that men get the Ocean/Vizigold option and women don't. Please give us this color option!

This is a great shoe overall but on my foot it comes up too high on my Achilles and has resulted in some pretty bad blisters. I found the shoe very stable and responsive. Love the materials, color, how light it is, and the shoe laces work well to hold the foot in place.

Great shoe! So comfortable. I work at a standing desk and noticed I can work longer, no fatigue in my calves. It's also my main walking shoe, love how it hugs my arches and cushions my every step. Gave it 4 instead of a 5 because I wish there was a little more room in the toe box.
