Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed 3

Ive been running for over 50 years & the Endorphin Speed (1,2, or 3) is as good or better than any of the hundreds of running shoes that I have enjoyed on pavement, trails, or track. Am getting close to 70 years young & God-willing I hope to run another 15-20 years:)

These shoes are like the mushroom power-up in Mariokart.

I purchased these shoes about 3 months ago. Approximately 150 miles. I was going to buy the Kinvaras but the sales rep at the Berkeley Half Marathon packet pickup showed me these shoes. The feel really felt forward without any silly drop manipulations. Very light but crisp shoe. Somehow the shoe is cushy on the slower runs but acts like impact foam(more responsive) on faster runs. Good durability despite the lighter sole. I orginally bought these to race in but it performs well as a daily. Not so hard and miserable as the Nike Vaporfly 4% or whatever those are. Those are sooo stiff. HOKA's version too is really hard and kills plantar and dorsiflexion that the foot wants to do. The nylon wingplate provides some responsiveness to the thicker sole. Its not like roadflats-thin and hard on the knees

Exceptionally comfortablewider toe box and a more stable ride are big improvements over the Speed 2. In addition to speed work, I've been appreciating it for long runs on the fast side of easy where the cushion is still perfect after 15 miles.

Great shoes: light, soft and springy for tempos, faster long runs and races!

Super light and fast with good stability and average cushioning. Picked these up after a season with Asics Novablast 2. Less cushioning, but better guidance and lots of snap on push off.

I fell in love with the Endorphin Speed 1 but thought the heel was a bit unstable except at tempo speed. The Endorphin Speed 3 corrects for this minor weakness. Otherwise, the shoe is a great choice for race day, from 5k to half. I like the lightweight feel, the speed roll in the toe, and overall comfort. This shoe makes me want to go fast.

I have both the Speed 2 and the Speed 3. Both are extremely comfortable but the Speed 3 for me is "too much shoe". Wider and more bulky than the 2. I use both for walking so maybe the extra width and cushioning would be more advantageous if running. Both are very comfortable and well made.

I've run on Kinvara's for the past 4 years and mixed in a couple trail runners and the endorphin shift. This shoe is just so much fun to run with a bouncier step and aggressive energy return. Really makes you want to push a little faster pace just to see what you can do.

Super light and comfy agile shoes. Great heel cup and springy.

Shoe feels great on my feet even after long runs. The plate and foam are very supportive and springy.

Got my first pair of Sauconys and they are awesome! From the first step, they are what I expected. I am always concerned about ordering online because I am a size 15 and sometimes shoes don't fit as I expect. These were perfect and after a couple runs now I am seeing the benefits of these versus my old shoes.

Love them. Soft, smooth roll, my runs feel effortless with these shoes on. Even on tired legs. Ordering more if I can find them as I prefer the speed 3 over version 4.

I don't typically leave reviews but these are the best road trainers I've found to date. Absolutely spot on. I've run in many of the top name trainers this year and the Endorphin speed 3 definitely comes out on top. Don't hesitate to put a pair of these in your rotation.

Best training running shoes I ever had , very light shoes

These are by far the best shoes I've owned. I just ran Boston in them and I love them.

I ran avidly from 1996 until 2006. I started up again about 3 months ago. I have been using Brooks Ghost or Glycerin shoes, but I read good things about these Endorphin Speed 3 shoes, so I ordered a pair. I just got off the treadmill, and I have to say they are the lightest and most smooth shoes I have run in. They are also very well cushioned. I am 251 pounds and my knees feel better after this run than any previous run, and that is after going a mile longer than my normal run!

Favourite marathon training shoe. Tempo or long runs specifically. Can't beat them.

I bought these specifically for speed workouts and tempo runs. I don't think they have quite the energy return of the endorphin pros I bought to race in but they certainly have a little extra 'pop' for the faster workouts.

I bought this one for my husband, he likes a shoes when he runs every day 8 miles

I bought these over a month ago and I love them! Super comfy, lightweight, and sleek looking. Love the color as well. Highly recommend!

I have put close to 100 miles on these shoes and I have no complaints. Super springy and these shoes save your legs on speed days and long runs. They are truly a jack of all trades
