Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Elite

I am a nurse with plantar fasciitis and I work over 60 hrs a week and standing and walking back and from rooms for a minimum of 5 hours daily when I resume work before sitting on any day I work,so it takes a toil on my body. I have always tried to ensure my shoes are comfortable even bought a $350 but this is the best. The experience is in having them on. Go buy it and return of it doesnt meet your need as a Nurse. The only problem is that it comes in 2 colors. Am saving to buy the other color. I bought the 2 most expensive running shoes of another brand at $280 and $265 but they were not as comfortable and they gave way when I washed them in the washer. This brand is good. Got intr to them by a Residents daughter and then another nurse mentioned it again , so I went online and bought d best. Have had it for close to a month now and that seems to be the only shoes I wear. I wear the others to match the scrubs I have on.

I was provided the Endorphin Elite as Sauconys Boston Team for the Boston Marathon. I have been previously running in the Endorphin Speed 2, Speed 3, and Pro. I only got a 5 mile run in these shoes with no expectations before the marathon, but I was shocked at how perfect they felt. I am very picky with my shoes and these things were truly awesome right out of the box. I put a couple of solid pickups on them and I knew I would have no concerns going into Boston with them. They held up well in the marathon, although I tied them far too tight and had to loosen them but overall they made the miles feel easy. The bonus is that it has been a week since Boston and I am already 90% recovered and back running with no lingering pain/soreness. Whereas I felt a month of soreness running on the Speed 2 in my previous marathon.

Im in the process of breaking in and have short runs on the rotation for this shoe at this point. Absolutely Amazing. Best shoe I have worn this shoe is a game changer. Get ready to set PRs daily.

As a part of Sauconys Boston Team, I was provided the Endorphin Elite. I only had the chance to run 5 miles in this shoe before the race, but fortunately this was not a problem. After training for Boston with the Speed 2, this fortunately felt like an easy transition. While the bounce of the super shoe was noticeable right away, I was most impressed by the ability to still really control my pacing in this shoe to allow for a more controlled start on fresh legs and no issues when it came time to climb in the hills. My greatest concern was the grip on these shoes in the rainy conditions, but this proved to not be an issue, other than on road paint which was easy to avoid. These shoes helped me secure an almost 7 min PB and I look forward to chasing that again on the flat Chicago course in October.

As part of Sauconys Boston Team, I was provided the Endorphin Elite and this shoe lived up to the hype. Super responsive, held up and have plenty of traction on the wet payment during Boston. If you are looking for a racer stop looking this is the shoe you want!

As part of Sauconys Boston Team, I was provided the Endorphin Elite and was blown away. A good shoe to me means you don't notice them on your feet. After racing a marathon in these the only thing I noticed was the extra energy I had in every step I took and that makes this a great shoe! The midsole foam and carbon just seem like a fit with the upper being breathable, unnoticeable and with the perfect lock down. Did I mention how good they look? the details in the design are awesome.

As part of Sauconys Boston Team I was provided the Endorphin Elite for free. I would 1000% buy another pair! I love the new HG foam, it seems a little softer than the Pro/Speed 2 but a little firmer than the Pro/Speed 3 to me. Which is the perfect balance. I felt like I was running on a cloud!

As part of Sauconys Boston team I was provided a pair of The Endorphin Elites to race in. These shoes went beyond my expectations. The ultralight shoes provide amazing rebound and roll to propel you during your race. They also have enough support that it doesnt feel like youre pounding your feet the whole race. These shoes are perfect for any road race from a 5k to a marathon! They propelled me to a 9 minute PR in the marathon at Boston!

As part of Sauconys Boston Team, I was given a pair of elites to race in, and boy did they deliver. Truly, these are the best super shoes that Ive raced in, and Ive raced in them all! The perfect balance of springiness without being too bouncy and firmness without tearing up my feet. I absolutely love these shoes!

As part of Saucony's Boston Team, I was provided the Endorphin Elite after buying a pair for myself. So now I have two pairs - but am reviewing the shoes as part of the Boston Team. Bottom line: Solid lightweight race shoe for a dry day. I prefer the Pro3 over the Elite, due to the price point and structure of the shoe. Pros: *Lightweight durable base, with an aggressive roll and strong springy foam. *A smooth landing and heel to toe transition. Cons: *Minimal wet weather traction: I was slipping on all of the metal manhole covers and painted lines. *Wide toe box: by the end of the race, the elastic laces combined with the wide toe box had me shifting from front to back of the shoe with every step. *Minimal structure to the upper: I felt like I wasn't able to lace the shoe well, and get a snug fit across the laces. The Pro3 had a nice firm fit in comparison.

As part of Sauconys Boston Team, I was provided the Endorphin Elite and I was flying. Its such a light shoe with unbelievable comfort. I generally wear Alphas, but Ill never go back.

I ran as part of Sauconys Boston Team and was provided the Endorphin Elites and had an incredible experience in them. Such a smooth ride the entire way. They had an excellent balance of cushion and bounce which is hard to strike among "super shoes". I enjoyed wearing the endorphin elites to complement my training to put together a PB performance at Boston.

As part of Sauconys Boston Team, I was given the opportunity to fly through the streets from Hopkinton to Boston and PB my first Boston Marathon in the Endorphin Elites. I had run two previous marathons in the Endorphin Speeds and loved them, but the elites are just on a different level. The miles ticked by effortlessly as I enjoyed the scenery and the crowds along the course. They have amazing energy return and great padding that really helped save my legs for the later miles.

This Endorphin Elite was amazing definitely need to stock this up. True fit I wear mens size 7. Handle well on the wet surface during my Boston Marathon. Last but not least the colors of this shoes is awesome. - "As part of Saucony's Boston Team, I was provided the Endorphin Elite.

As part of Sauconys Boston Marathon team, I wore the Endorphin Elites and ran a 7-minute personal best. An excellent racing shoe that caused me no issues going fast in the rain.

I received these shoes as a giveaway for the Boston Marathon, and I couldnt have been more excited. I have worn nearly every Saucony running shoe line they have out there, and I always get greeted with the same level of comfort and dependability. When running marathons there is a fine line to balance of comfort and speed when it comes to shoes; usually having to sacrifice one to better the other. However, I believe Saucony nailed superior comfort and speed with this shoe. The toe off isnt super aggressive compared to other carbon plated shoes. The split plate makes it feel SO much more natural. You flow smoothly across the ground rather than impacting it. I wore these one time prior to my marathon, realized they have the signature Saucony comfort I love, and didnt wear them again until marathon day. Perfect race shoes!

I ran a 13 mile run in them, they are good, light and have a stiff cushion, I developed a small foot injury from them, I'm a little disappointed, the Nike alphafly or vaporfly is better.

Very expensive. Cant remove insoles to fit orthotics.

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

Im a heel striker so this show didnt work for me . But I absolutely love my Saucony Endorphin Speed and Pros !

Took awhile to feel The Hype. Once I ran in it a few times and got miles on it, I felt the Hype. Good energy return, not soft and bouncy, which I prefer. Overall it's a good shoe.

Just ran a marathon in this shoe and qualified for Boston. The shoe felt comfortable and supportive along with encouraging quick turnover and near effortless running. Loved it! I've always loved feeling the road with traditional racing flats but this new technology reduces wear and tear on the body while improving race times.

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

Needed this and love this for my daily long runs so just need more colorways to drop soon or Saucony send them my way
