Purchased this shoe about a month ago. I've only run 20 miles in the shoe, including a 13 mile workout and then a 10k race. During the workout, they were super comfortable and my goal paces felt effortless. I switched to my Vaporfly 3's mid workout for a comparison and definitely felt the endorphin elites were way more protective and a felt a bit more effortless to hit my paces. So I took these out on my next 10k race and they were incredible. I also own the endorphin pro 3 and used them for training in my last marathon cycle. I also love the pro 3s, but chose not to race in them because they are a bit too relaxed and soft. The endorphin elites solve both of these issues, and are my race shoe of choice over the Vaporfly 3 for my upcoming marathon. If you want something that feels faster than the endorphin pro 3, but are looking for a bit more cushion than the Vaporfly provides, I highly recommend giving these a shot!

Love these shoes! I have ran in both the vaporfly and alphafly but was left disappointed by the fit. The Endorphine Pros felt super comfortable right away. They felt like the perfect combination of cushion and speed. They led me to a new PR and first ever sub-3 marathon!

The perfect race shoes. The design makes you go fast and comfortably stay fast. I'm not an elite runner by any stretch of the imagination, but they definitely make me feel like an elite. And I certainly noticed an improvement in my speedwork time and long distance time. For sizing, I wear a 9 for most shoes (e.g. On), a 9.5 for the Saucony Endorphin Pro, but went with a 10 for the Endorphin Elite. The fit is an average width, which is a bit wide for me (as I have narrow feet). However, I am able to tighten the shoes to the right width.

These sneakers are like walking on air!!! Super light ! I bought these for my healthcare job . Knee is in bad shape ! On them 13 hrs non stop and knee still feels great. Great spring to them. I usually wear the Hokas -/ these are way better! Only suggest a bit of a higher arch on them and the mesh fabric top cinches a little . Hope they come out with more colors!! Btw these are a light orangish coral / w pink color.

I bought this shoe to run The Boston Marathon in.. 1 because I have raced plenty of races in the Endorphin pro's and felt great... So I figured with the reviews they would be just as great or only better. Boy was I wrong. Now I am not a rookie I did an 8 miler in these and they were fine. The Boston Marathon was my 18th marathon and I have done 19 ultra's so it's like running is something Novice to me. I have run in Saucony for races since 2014-- These shoes by far were terrible by mile 11. The last three digits on each foot started to go numb, the bottoms of my mid foot hurt so bad I could hardly stand it by mile 17 a spectator saw me stop to take my shoes off and rub my feet and ask me if I was ok... This woman gave me the shoes off her feet so I could finish my race THE BOSTON MARATHON without stabbing pain in my feet, by the way they were HOKAS. I have never run in HOKAS... But I was grateful for them, and that woman. I do truly believe Saucony needs to go back to the drawing board with these shoes. The Best part is seeing the photos of me starting the race in the Saucony's and Finishing in the Hoka's --- Something to be said for that.

So comfy that I just want to run everywhere! The guy who does my orthotics and has his own shoe store told me I don't need orthotics with this shoe because it's so high quality

My birthday present. I ran a Revel half marathon on Aril 6th, 2024. I wore these carbon plated shoes. I ran a new PR and took 3rd place in my age group. The shoes are excellent. Perfect fit.

Got a PB on my 5k first time I wore these! Light as a feather, felt like bedroom slippers at first try on. No break in period at all. Lots of pop, super fun to run in, lots of ventilation. I appreciated the tongue doesn't move around. Not much tread or grip, so definitely not for wet or slippery conditions, or loose terrain. I would only use these on dry pavement.

These are my race day sneaks for Lisbon Half 2024. I can't say enough about them. Highly responsive and everything you'd want in a distance running shoe.

These shoes are absolutely amazing! I raced my first half in them last Saturday and I exceeded my goal pace by over 10 seconds/mile. I had absolutely no foot pain, no blisters, no blackened/lost toenails all while looking and feeling fabulous. I'm absolutely sold on this shoe!

Absolutely love this shoe. Great investment. I joke but I honestly feel like I run faster when I wear these shoes. With the right playlist, weather and scenery my feet don't EVER cross my mind. I can run for miles. Completely mind blown.

very light, supportive, and I can feel my turnover is quicker in these shoes. Took them out for a 20mi run on the first go and have not had any discomfort.
