Light, fun, stable and efficient; likely their new workhorse, though outsole coverage is limited.

“It is light on foot and so much fun. I feel really efficient in it. It is comfortable, stable and the rocker made me go faster than planned for without actually feeling more effort.”
positivestablecomfortable fit

Disappointed with it despite liking firm foam for their knees.

“Nowadays, after being dissapointed with Azura i tried Hoka Mach 7”
negative

Uncomfortably firm and narrow in the toe box for wide feet, though the outsole grips everywhere.

“La première chose que j'ai ressenti, un certain inconfort dû à la fermeté de la semelle et aussi l'étroitesse au niveau de la toe box (j'ai les pieds larges).”

Their daily trainer: firm in a good way and gave them their confidence back.

“Azura as a daily trainer has given me my confidence back. They are firm but in a good way.”

Their favourite shoe, ahead of the Vomero Plus and MagMax 2; handles recovery runs to 16+ miles.

“This is my favorite shoe surpassing vomero plus and mag max 2. I bought 6 pairs when they were on sale for ~83 gbp. Can do recovery to pick ups to 16+ mile runs”
positivegreat for long runs

Owns three pairs and loves them, but they're firm and left their feet very sore after a marathon.

“I have 3 pairs of Endorphin Azura’s (as well as 2 x Endorphin Pro 4’s and 1 x Endorphin Speed 5). They‘re amazing shoes, but they are firm.”

Firm and snappy rather than plush.

“I've got the Azura, I agree with the review for the most part.”

Very firm, with outstanding wet grip and a slightly tapered toe box; a possible successor to their tired Superblast 2.

“I also noticed how firm the midsoles felt. These things are FIRM firm.”
