I like the engineering and fit of this shoe and seems to be holding up well. I'm not a long distance running more between two and 3.5 miles 4 times a week but have been wearing past 4 weeks. I have to say as a heel striker it works but like the triumphs more in that area. Overall very good show though.

It's wide like I need. I didn't care how the tongue is connected I had to cut it so I could make it more comfortable for me. The insoles were stiff an not cushioned like I need I just exchanged it with pair I like. The sole is plenty thick an gives good movement. It's very lightweight which is great. After modifying it to my liking it's great shoe but I do that to every pair of shoes I buy.

I thought I'd try this brand. I'm usually a Hoka person. The shoes have great cushioning but they are way too narrow and I've never had to buy wide sizes. The laces are horrible. They will not stay tied at all. I've only been wearing them for a couple of weeks.

I’m on the fence about these.
On one hand,they are supportive, but because one of my foot is shorter than the other,my hips feel unbalanced to the point that I end up hip pain. I haven’t figured out how to balance out each foot.

I've work a Saucony for many years. This pair had a squeak in the heel which is annoying. Other than that, a great shoe!

This sneakers did not fit me at all. Way to high arch support. I felt like i was walking on the outside of my foot. It triggered my AS symptoms and gave me back and hip issues for a week. Dissapointed.

I was surprised that these felt heavy on my first run. There wasn't any cushion to me. I wore them on a 3 mile run on the road and hated the feel. I gave them away

I have had a injury to my ankle years ago. Despite being pain free for years, these shoes have aggravated the old injury. 3 weeks of wearing these shoes and Im ready to throw them away.

I've owned numerous pairs of Saucony including the Freedom, Kinvara, Speed 1,2&3 all in size 9.5. So I decided that I wanted a cushioned long distance shoe and bought the Shift 3. Once I wore them, something was off and I couldn't figure out what until I compared them to my Speed 2 shoe. They are a half size larger. What a waste of money

I have owned many models of Saucony including Kinvara, Freedom, Speed 1,2&3 all in size 9.5 and decided to give the Shift 3 a chance. They were purchased in winter weather and my treadmill was broken so didn't get a chance to try immediately. When I did, something was off. I finally decided to compare to my Speed shoe and these are a half size larger than my regular 9.5. Terrible and now I'm stuck with them.

These are nothing like the endorphin shift 2, not even close. I don't understand how they could have changed so much. I've been wearing Saucony's for years and they have always been great. I bought two pair of the shift 2 last year, wear them daily and they were great. The shift 3 is a cheap knockoff. Left with two large blisters on my foot from the poor design after wearing once. The quality is sub par, particularly the soles which have no support. Save your money and buy something else.

SAUCONY, YOU INSULT ALL OF YOUR CUSTOMERS WHEN YOU THINK THAT THIS SHOE WILL FLY! IT IS CHEAPLY MADE. IT IS DOESN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE A SAUCONY.
SHIFT 2 HAD A REMARKABLE FOOT BED. IT WAS SOFT YET CRADLED FOOT PERFECTLY. THIS SHOE: FOOT BOX IS TOO BIG AND SHAPELESS. EXCESS MATERIAL ON TOP AND FRONT SIDES. CHEAPER MATERIAL TOO. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED BECASUE THE SPRING/ENDORPHIN SHIFT 2 WAS UNIQUE. NOW, IT'S CRAP. I HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL TO SAUCONY BRAND FOR 43 YEARS. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?...BOUGHT SAME SHOE, DIFFERNT COLOR-SAME PROBLEM.

I'm in my mid 50's and very active/fit. I was looking for a white pair of shoes to be a tourist in and figured I would try these. My 20 year old daughter put them on as soon as I received them and I was forced to give them to her and order another pair for myself. LOL They are SOOOOO comfortable! I wore these 7 days straight while touring London putting 10 miles a day on them. My feet and legs felt great the entire time. I came back to try to order another pair in white but they are sold out. I am buying a pair to use to walk to Camino de Santiago later this Fall. My feet feel so happy in them with all of the cushioning and arch support!

This is my second pair of these sneakers. They have great support but I wish the Wides came in another color other than just black.

Why are these being discontinued?? I love these sneakers! Perfect heel to toe drop for arches (with use of orthotic inserts) and metatarsal issues that I have; I cannot have too low or too high of a heel to toe drop. Perfect sneakers for me. Perfect cushioning. Perfect fit. These are the only sneakers I have found that I can wear with no pain or rubbing. They last me much longer than Hoka Bondis. No rubbing and causing callouses like Hoka Bondi’s.
I have no idea how I will find a replacement for this amazing sneaker!

I work on my feet all day and these shoes are super comfortable. I have looked at other brands in this style, but Saucony is my go-to for running shoes because of how well they fit my feet and this shoe did not disappoint. I need a large toe box but not a wide size and these shoes fit perfectly.

Endorphin Shift 3 is a solid shoe that feels very comfortable. First time I wore it, the shoes seemed kind of high off the ground. Now I am used to it. The 4mm heel is awesome. I switched from the Kinvara. Have worn them for years. Switched because of the bad reviews on the new 13 model. Thanks Saucony!

The endorphin is definitely a must have. I've rather enjoyed the nice cushion feel in the down step but the rebound in this shoe is really helpful in improving my stride. Felt much faster than my usual training run. Overall I really like the shoes.
