Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Elite

I just PRd my last race wearing these shoes. I went from a 4:08 to a 3:11. I loved these shoes they are lightweight but give you so much pop when you run.

These shoes are fantastic! Love everything about them.

Im so happy with this shoes, are so confortable and very light

As a long time Saucony wearer, bought these shoes last month. Very disappointed with the product quality control; literally unwearable as they were when I received them. They were immediately returned.

Wore this shoe for one run and it was terrible! Blisters on my feet, felt stiff, and i could not get the responsiveness I had read about out of these shoes. Worst part is they cant be returned!! Might be the only company that doesnt honor their product and with such a high cost item nonetheless. I will never buy from saucony again

I bought this shoes about a month ago. On my first run some string came undone, I cut it and thought the end of it. Nope that string kept running that made Achilles support fell apart and the sole look like I ran 50 miles after a quick 5 mile run to break them in.

Im spoiled by this shoe! Runs easier/faster now!

Used these for my Marathon. The previous years I used the Endorphin Pro/Pro+ Series. I liked the cushioning in these much more. Highlight recommend for race day.

Wish I could return. Went on a 3 mile run and hated the lack of stability - they took took much structure & material out of the top of the shoe. Cushion and spring isn't bad, but Hoka is definitely way ahead with their current offerings. Customer service was awful; this is my 6th and final Saucony pair of shoes. Go with a brand that stands behind their products!

Not 200 plus dollar running shoes. The laces twist. The tongue doesn't stay, and the wear is fast and easy.

Elite has the potential to be a race day shoe, but the upper construction is weak (noticed that it was coming apart on arrival) and bunches together. Heel slippage is real even when trying socks of varying thickness. I tried my best to make this work, but it was ultimately a no go...

You cant help but run faster in these! The heel tab design is ideal for quickly donning in my transitions (triathlon). Very happy with these.

After a few workouts in this shoe, including speed work in preparation for a 5K, Im impressed. A runners knot using that final eyelet helps to lock down the shoe comfortably. Then the shoe simply becomes an extension of yourself, which is a great feeling. This shoe has allowed me to run faster than I have in quite some time, with a lower heart rate, quicker turnover and a lot of plain old fun. I had already enjoyed the Endorphin Pro 3 and 4, though the 4 is a bit bulky for my narrow foot. I still use those shoes in rotation, but Ill definitely be using the Elite for my upcoming race. The fit and rocker geometry of the shoe, the foam and plate in the sole, and the light but secure upper make for a cohesive feel especially at faster paces, which is the whole idea for this shoe, right? Very nicely done, Saucony.

I have raced a 5k, half and full marathon in these shoes and they are awesome. I will not race in anything else. They have perfect support and perfect spring. I was worried that the insole could not be changed, but they are engineered perfect so there is no need to change the insole. Im purchasing another pair for next year.

Great shoe. Fast, responsive, plenty of snap if you are a forefoot runner. Had to half size up for a good fit. Excellent breathable upper. The only area of improvement I would suggest is the outer needs a better abrasion/foot strike material. Too thin, wears quickly, and very slick in damp conditions. Otherwise an excellent shoe for going fast

This is a great shoe. Not quite the Alphafly but they're getting close. The tongue feels a strange to me, bit stiff. Heal support is improved and the she has great stability and support.

Good Morning, I heard all sorts of wonderful things about saucony shoes but they completely fell apart and are worthless after only wearing them for two or three races. For this much money I would expect a much better quality shoe that atleast lasts a year! I also bought a pair of trail shoes only wore them for two races same thing fell apart! I am very unhappy with the quality of these shoes and doubt I will ever buy this brand again unfortunately.

I bought this in May '23. Very nice shoe. Light. Fast. However at about the 300mile mark the strap disconnected where it was stitched at the back of the shoe. I replaced them with Endorphin Pro 3 as I now don't trust this design (i.e. it could have snapped earlier)

Maybe the fastest shoe Ive ever had. Def recommend.

Ive really enjoyed my experience with the Elites so far. At their price point theyre definitely a racing and special special training day shoe, but theyre just as good as other similarly priced super shoes in my opinion.

I dont know what to say except that these shoes are magical. They propel you forward. You cannot walkthey make you run. Running is actually easier in them. My heart rate is down by about 2-4 bpm on comparable runs in other gear. I only run in them on a treadmill so I cant talk about the road performance. But as far as treadmills go, I am never wearing anything except these shoes ever again.

Im not a professional racer but I am a runner. I tell you one thing. Received these shoes today, took them out of the box and went for a 5 miles run. BROKE EVERY SINGLE PERSONAL RECORD!!! By almost 2 minutes. The shoes are basically walking on the clouds and propelled me to run faster. First day, first run, things can change based on how much it can last. But the first impression is absolutely AMAZING!

The shoes definitely rock in terms of support and overall capability. I've ran about 50 miles so far in them and i can say wihout a doubt they take 20-30 deconds off my mile splits. But the durability of the shoes is absolutely lacking. ive had them for about 3 weeks, and the right shoe is torn down the back, and the left is on its way... so for 300 dollars and very little use only to run on the roads for the pasat few weeks, id say the price for what you get is not worth it.

Amazing shoe. Unbelievable bounce and responsiveness. Obviously best reserved for race day and a few fast training days. Only complaint is the tongue, which in my opinion is terrible. Go back to something like in the Endorphin Pro model. Oh yeah, and the price. But if you have the cash and want a rocket ship of a shoe, go for it.

Tried these to switch up from that brand with the alpha and vapor, and these are lighter but not as responsive. They are going in the right direction with this tech, but still behind the swoosh. These shoes bring them to the club, but they are not at the table yet.
