Excellent Trainer, A Must in the RotationI've gotten probably 100 miles on these trainers and I have to say, they are some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn in some time. I was training and doing nearly all runs in the Endorphin Speed series since their inception. After runs, the arches of my feet do not ache in these, unlike the Speeds. Don't get me wrong, I love the Speeds, but these are great especially as I get older. They do get a little clunky if you try to do some tempo work, but it's manageable and worth it for the less pain/recovery on the back end. I recommend giving these a whirl, especially if your foot agrees with the Endorphin series of shoes.

Love my Saucony Endorphin trainers!Saucony loyalist here... I'm an everyday runner/30+ miles a week and these are my favorite shoes in my rotation. They feel wonderful. Nice bounce, and not wide at all in any area (unlike the triumph 22s... Much too wide toe box). Thank you Saucony for these pretty darn perfect trainers!
Clunky FeelI have worn a lot of Saucony shoes over the years. These felt good and comfortable when I tried them on, but once I started running, they were very clunky and even sounded loud upon strike. Not very supportive in the heel area as I started to have some ankle pain after a couple of long runs. The first Saucony shoes I have been displeased with in a long time.
Actually very goodI was a little hesitant to buy this shoe given all the negative reviews, but am glad I bought them anyway. This is not a speed shoe. It is a daily trainer or recovery shoe. The top layer of incredirun feels great and makes for a bouncy and fun experience once the shoes break in (happened on my second run). The exposed midsole is surprisingly durable and doesn't look like there's any wear after 20 miles.The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because they're loud and it's weight limits it to easier efforts. Otherwise great shoe.

Has Potential But Needs More DevelopmentAs someone who loved the Shift 3s and have loved Sauconys all the way back to the Ride 5s (previous collegiate 14:4X runner now casual 17:XX runner) these are very interesting shoes. Compared to a lot of modern high stack shoes with a long singular feeling sole, the forefoot and heel feel distinctively separate with a narrowing arch section while using new bouncy and responsive foam. For me there is too much lateral twist in the sole on push off but I do like the cushioning and classic Saucony upper fit of the shoe of being snug through the heel and arch and opening up in the forefoot. In the next version I would like to feel more stability in the shoe when twisting the sole back and forth in your hands so that it doesn't feel so floppy at times

Perfect everyday trainerThe clue is in the name of the shoe. It's a trainer. If you've been running Hokas, you'll find this shoe lighter and much more responsive. It's an excellent shoe for training, though not made for racing.

The PacerVery comfortable,smooth ride, helped me pick up my pace. Good looks
Not a fanAs a huge Endorphin enthusiast, I find this particular shoe a bit odd. All of the Endorphin line feels light, peppy and fast. The upper end Pros meant for racing all the way to the Speed are phenomenal shoes. In fact, I’ve ran half marathons in the Speed and they’ve performed beautifully. This new trainer is just clunky, cumbersome and noticeably HEAVY in comparison. Running shoes are always a personal choice in what fits your body and goals, but these were a huge disappointment.
Just okCompared to the rest of the Endorphin line, these felt heavy and clunky. The Endorphin Speed and Pro in particular are definitely light, snappy racing shoes. These are a lot heavier in weight and just aren’t for me.
