Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Elite

love the new shoe fast response light my new race shoe

Yes, these are fast. I did purchase a men's size purely due to the endorphin pro3 coming up small and narrow in reg women's size. I have wider feet so the men's is nice and roomy. I've done around 40km in them so far and they are comfortable and highly responsive, speed work is a breeze as legs don't fatigue at all. These shoes are worth it!

I bought these for Boston Marathon. I love the responsiveness of the shoe and the lightweight. Toe area is a little tight and shorter than expected, but the speed will offset the fit

I bought these shoes recently and it was the best investment on my return to racing competitively. Like the Greek God Hermes, these shoes gave me the felling of flight. The comfort of the soles through the long distances helped my legs fell refreshed during the whole race. Not something I would wear during a cold weather race but this means it will be great for the summer runs where you need the breathability. The aggressive lift on the toe makes moving forward faster second natured. This is exactly what I want my racing shoes to be.

This shoe will get you going quick! The energy return is second to none. You'll be running faster with less effort almost without realizing it. Perfect for race day and the stability is on point for a marathon.

Great feel, comfort, style and great color For sure!!

I purchased these shoes and had them overnighted prior to my flight to Tokyo to run the 2023 Tokyo Marathon. I have ran in Endorphin Pro V2 and V3 prior and had confidence in the shoe. My first time wearing them was a short 3 mile run the day before the marathon and they felt great. First I love the lime green color and the shoes performed fantastic, the only major difference for me, which was not an issue, was there was not as much cushion or spring compared to the Pro 3.

My new marathon racing shoe! Best racing shoe I have found as a larger runner (and I've tried most of them!). I'm 6'2" 210lbs and raced a 1/2 Marathon PR in the Endorphin Elite this weekend at 6:57/mile pace. What makes this shoe a winner for me is the foam is a little denser than the Endorphin Pro 3 - but still extremely soft and propulsive. As a 210lb runner, the Endorphin Pro 3 foam is too soft, making it too unstable with how much the foam compresses. After 10+ mile runs in the Endorphin Pro 3 my ankles get very tired causing me to not want to race a full marathon in them for the fear of an injury causing me not to finish. The Endorphin Elite being slightly denser foam completely fixes this problem - but still offers tons of cushion and great propulsion. I also find that I get a better fit in the Endorphin Elite than the Endorphin Pro 3. My foot is slightly wider (not a true wide width - all my shoes are regular width - but racing shoes are often very narrow). I got 2 blisters on the interior side of my foot when running 14 miles in the Endorphin Pro 3. I got no blisters or hot spots in the Endorphin Elite. For me - the Endorphin Elite is the perfect marathon racing shoe! I would not change anything about this shoe!

Bought this shoe a week ago. Went for a 15 mile run. Excellent feel. Propels you forward, good energy back. Comfortable and fast.

I work for a running store. I tried many racing shoes and these ones are one of the best. Remember this, they are racing shoes, if you don't know what that means, go to your local running store and ask them the difference. Thanks Saucony for the big improvement in the last year.

Excellent right out of the box size 10 perfect fit ran first 5k race of the season 21:30 not a pr ..but a good time for over 60.....one of my favorite racing shoes so far ...still want to go some longer runs 10 plus miles

I'm basically an Olympic athlete in these bad boys.

Very responsive shoe with excellent cushioning. Favorite race shoe to date!

I weigh 195lbs with knee issues. Finding the best marathon shoe for me was arduous. The Asics Metaspeed and Adidas Adios Pro 3 hurt my feet after 8 -10 miles. The NB SuperComp Elite didn't perform as well, not responsive. These Endorphin Elites perform without pain. It makes a huge difference when nothing hurts. I couldn't recommend them more! My favorite!

Im currently training at a police academy and for daily workouts these are not the shoes of choice for me, im also a bigger guy 63 240 and the shoes gave me shin splints .. but for race day they are! I cut down on my mile and half by a whole minute by changing to these shoes.

Solid shoe. Reduced fatigue and increased speed with my training runs. Gained about 15 seconds per mile in my splits over the endorphin pro shoe

Very lovely shoe I love them more than the alpha flies. Ridiculous rebound.

Incredible shoe. Very comfortable and forms well to the foot. Not too narrow allowing for just the right amount of room in the toe box. Laces were fine and the breathability felt great. Heel counter could be a bit more structured but didn't have any problems with it either. I ran a marathon close to a month ago and I did start to feel some discomfort in the forefoot area of my right foot (perhaps due to the carbon fiber plate) after a while - somewhere around the last 10k - but I believe that to be because I started to slow down towards the end and being this is a relatively aggressive shoe, that's the penalty you can suffer for lack of a better term. Other than that, it's an extremely well-performing shoe. Many thanks to the team at Saucony that developed it.

I love this shoe! It puts me ahead of my normal pace and helps cushion each stride.

Bought these shoes and was very impressed ran my second half marathon at 132 and feel like I could have gone faster. Took 10 minutes off my first marathon These shoes made race day seem like I was running with less effort. Highly recommend

The endorphin elite is an amazing race day shoe with endless pop that makes speed feel easy. The one thing that I wasnt over the moon about was the laces. Even with runner loops, they were tough to lock into once tied. Maybe a more coarse material might help this? Minor flaw to an overall amazing shoe. Still look brand new after my first sub 3 marathon and extremely confident in them lasting for at least another full marathon this coming spring!

Ive owned 2 pairs recently and Im ran in Saucony for over 20 years. Ive always loved the shoes and a committed Saucony runner and supporter. I have to give my honest review and unfortunately I cant give these more then 3 stars 1st pair - I loved the color, they were the bright green and very comfortable at the beginning. I ran in Kinvaras forever and was looking for a change. When I found these I thought I was good forever! Nope, the extra protection on the bottom of the shoe started to come loose after the first hundred miles. I loved the support from the Carbon Fiber plate and it made for a comfortable run. I was a loyal Saucony guy so I wanted to give them another chance. Second pair - WHITE! ONLY OPTION! Definitely a star lost right from the beginning. I literally hate white running shoes! The comfort was there with the Carbon plate but dirty after a few runs. Oh well thats life. After 200 miles in these they are burned out and look horrible! They released another color which I like but for $300 I cant say the quality is the to continue to purchase these. Its been forever since Ive ran in another brand but I think its time. Sorry I think the quality is a hit or miss now days.

Were a great shoes but still window for improvements.

Supreme comfort but a little fragile. The back strip is starting to be loose. And Saucony, why such short shoelaces??? After spending close to $300 for a pair of shoes, the least you could do is not make me have to buy shoelaces because the ones you provide are cheap and short.
