Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Reviews

After 50 km in the Endorphin Speed 3, a 14.5 km run bruised both second toes; half a size up would have prevented it, but otherwise it is a great shoe.

A flat-footed overpronator used the Endorphin Speed 3 for everything over 174 miles: good fit, breathable upper, great cushioning for long efforts and responsive for workouts with a strong rocker; calls it amazingly versatile.

Retiring the Endorphin Speed 3 after 836 km as a daily, long and tempo shoe; it was very durable with no foot pain, its wider toe box helped on long runs, but it felt less snappy than the Speed 2.

At 200 miles the Endorphin Speed 3 feels softer and bouncier than the Hyperion Max, but its upper's logos and overlays started falling off quickly.

Their Endorphin Speed 3 started to hurt their feet beyond 12 km.

Loved the Endorphin Speed 2 and likes the Speed 3, though its heel rubs the back of their Achilles on faster runs; good for mid-speed workouts and long runs.

Loves the Endorphin Speed 3: used it for speed work and a comfortable 25 km long run, and set a 5k PB in it.

The Endorphin Speed 3 is their do-everything shoe: 10k efforts and three to four marathons, still feeling good after 20 miles and much wider than the Puma Deviates.

The Endorphin Speed 3's stability makes it far more versatile for them; it doesn't feel as fast as the Speed 2 but it is, and they use it 200% more.

They use the Pro 3 for races and tempo but get the most wear from the Speed 3, which they find covers easy paces and everything else.

Hates the Endorphin Speed 3: it just doesn't work for them, killing the soles of their feet and causing terrible blisters.

Can't run longer than a 10k in the Endorphin Speed 3, so it is out for long runs, but it is their choice for short threshold runs on a trip.

The Endorphin Speed 3 fixed the Speed 2's instability for them; they have done long runs up to 20 miles in it with no problems.

Finds the Endorphin Speed 3 much more stable than the Speed 2, fun and versatile for fast runs and races.

Their first run was a 20 mile long run with marathon pace work; the shoe was hard to slow down in but felt extremely comfortable at pace and great at threshold effort.
