Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 Reviews

Owns two pairs; 400 km on the first and it still feels like new.

Calls the Endorphin Elite 2 a marathon runner's dream: great fit and upper, unbelievable energy return, a bit narrow.

Ran a 3:08 marathon in the Endorphin Elite 2; insane bounce, gentle on the knees, very breathable, but expensive at $290.

Ran 10 miles at marathon pace on a treadmill and prefers it to the Elite 1; the soft midsole still tests as efficient.

A runner absolutely loves the Endorphin Elite 2's bounce through several training runs, warning it isn't for anyone with stability issues.

Instability for one tester. Bouncier and more compliant foam with strong performance grades. One tester found it not stable enough for runs past 12 miles, and the stiff toe guard and low toe box rubbed another tester's toes early on.

The new IncrediRUN foam is a unique sensation: soft and squishy yet fast. They think it will appeal to everyone from sub-3 marathoners to slower racers.

A fast, fun, propulsive PR-chaser that really delivers when you run with purpose and good form. He'd race a marathon or half in it. He noticed some suction feel at max effort.

First progression run in the Endorphin Elite 2: true to size, fantastic upper, responsive and easier at slower paces than v1.

The Endorphin Elite 2 foam is softer yet quicker to rebound, like next-gen foam.
