All foaming my pros and cons

Not as strong as advertised by the brand online; it's a piece of styrofoam, that's all. Not as soft as I thought based on the reviews, especially in the forefoot so consider hitting the forefoot. I put an extra pillow in and it's better but then tight so a little skinny leg would be best NOT for a heavier person IMHO. I wouldn't endure it on long runs, 10km etc as my legs get tired. Very neutral. But it runs fast and is perfect for 5k and such. Overall a very light shoe. There is no stability…

Pros
  • love how light they are. I look forward to them becoming my running shoes next year.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people who need extra support when walking on uneven surfaces.

I usually wear US size 9.5-10, for Endorphin Speed 2 (and Pro2) I ordered size 10.5 which fits me perfectly. I like the Endorphin shoes the most because they are very light, comfortable and responsive with a good grip. forward in running and i run over 40 miles every week and most of the time i'm running in saucony endorphin now! These are the best running shoes I have ever worn and I love them so much that I bought 3 more pairs of Endorphin Speed 2 in different colors (also together with 2…

Pros
  • These shoes are perfect for my grandson! He chose her to compete on the school's track and field team.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people who require increased shoe breathability.

Lived up to the hype

They have been recommended on many platforms as one of the best speed trainers out there. I bought a pair after a sale on Amazon. I have to say that I fell in love with her after only two training sessions. They feel very springy and responsive as soon as you put them on. The day after I received it in the mail, I ran a personal best 5K. The placebo may have helped, but it was still wonderful. I'm excited to ride them a few more miles and also try slower paces to see how they feel. I highly…

Pros
  • I mainly use this shoe for 5k training. Great shoes and great price!
Cons
  • Speed 1 and 3 are 100 times better. 2 aren't flexible and the toe box is too stiff - these shoes have a hard time getting through.

The best sneakers I've tried!

I did a little research to find out which running shoes suit me best. After all the searching, I decided these are the ones that fit my specific needs and desires. They are really light, very breathable to keep your feet cool and very comfortable for long distances. I rode them a total of 24 miles the first 2 days. And they didn't disappoint me at all. And the flex of the shoe has really improved my normal run times. They will definitely get you ahead. I highly recommend it. So far no…

Pros
  • Shoes react strongly to your step
Cons
  • Send in a used pair of dirty, worn-out shoes. Returned immediately. Not new as advertised.

Fast shoes with cushioning

I'm not a fast runner and started running last year after a long break. The first run out of the box in these shoes was 5K and ran a full 3 minutes faster. Shoes really encourage you to run faster. I don't know exactly how. It's well padded and comfortable from the start. I also managed to get it at a decent price and look forward to buying another pair soon. It's not that bad with them. Hope it's strong enough.

Pros
  • Very chic, comfortable.
Cons
  • it is not convenient

Shoes fit 1 1/2 sizes.

I'm a podiatrist. I bought this shoe based on the good reviews I read. I want to start by saying that Saucony makes amazing running shoes. However, the Endorphin Speed 2 was a size and a half smaller. The reason I know this is because I ran with him and ended up with sore toes and heels. I also wear it on my girlfriend's shoes who are an 8 for women and I am an 8.5 for men. It was the same size as her current women's shoe which is a size 8. She loves the shoes but unfortunately I didn't get…

Pros
  • I switched from HOKA Clifton to endorphin speed. I didn't look back.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people who prefer more stylish sneakers.

Fast shoes: my review

This shoe is highly rated by many running editors. I would agree with many things. First, he ran 2.5 miles straight out of the pits in the fastest time of over 75 attempts. I didn't feel like I was running fast, but I was very surprised with the end result. This shoe appears to lift your feet and propel you forward. This helps a lot when going uphill. This shoe runs true to size and has a medium toe top. I would not recommend this shoe for walking as the heel is a bit narrow which makes it a…

Pros
  • The shoes are stylish enough to wear outside of sports.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate cushioning for people who frequently walk on hard surfaces.

Sneakers: my review

I bought them for harder runs when I want to slow down. They're definitely doing their job. I use the Triumph 19 for everyday shoes and this one for faster, harder runs. Make sure you wear them half a size bigger!

Pros
  • It's excellent 👌
Cons
  • Colors may not suit all preferences

Great shoe for medium to long distances and fast work.

These were my favorite running shoes. You should have shown pic of shoe showing that it was two toned. It sppears white in picture. Disappointed! This is good for most occasions, not longer 7 mile runs or even speed training.

Pros
  • Bought model last year at half price. Love Speed 2. I might buy another pair and put them on hold
Cons
  • They had to show a photo of the shoe showing that it was two-tone. In the picture it is white. upset

Disappointing. Not the quality it should be for the price

This was the second pair we bought as our son outgrew the first pair. Less than 3 weeks later it started cracking and loosing parts. Very sorry for the money spent.

Pros
  • I like it more than Zoom Fly
Cons
  • Not recommended for people with foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis.

Very wrong sizing

Be very careful when ordering European size. I wear EU42 and always buy 2 sizes bigger. So I bought the EU44/US10 after double checking with Saucony customer service who assured me the UE44 would fit perfectly 2 sizes up my EU42 foot. EU44 was smaller than my EU42 leg. Returned this item and ordered US11.5/EU 46 and hope it works for me

Pros
  • Treadmill running, very responsive and responsive.
Cons
  • Low quality. The sole wore out quickly. I do not recommend. Didn't last more than 3 months.

Cloud work is the best in my rating

This is my new way. For a person who does about 25 miles a week, I need something with more cushioning than my Altra. They're also incredibly responsive, both on the road and on the track.

Pros
  •  I love the way it fits and most importantly how it pushes me forward and protects my hell.
Cons
  • I received the shoes, wanted to put them on and saw that there were no insoles. Where are the insoles for this price?

Shoes for training and competition in one pair

I love the fact that you can use this shoe for both training and racing, saving you the hassle of buying another pair designed for both activities. When it lands on the pavement, the response is excellent. I did 2 distance runs and 1 interval run in these shoes and felt that on race days I would show the best results in these shoes.

Pros
  • The Saucony Endorphin Speed Men's Running Shoe is a quality product well worth the investment.
Cons
  • May not be the most economical option for some people

Done cheaply - my new review

They started to crack after a few hard runs, the soles were cheaply made and soon began to fall apart. They're lightweight but feel cheap compared to other brands in a similar price range, they should be on the $50 shelf at Ross.

Pros
  • Shoes are comfortable and safe
Cons
  • There may not be enough support for people who have had ankle sprains in the past.

Funny sneakers are the best in my rating

I started running a year ago, I have a Nike Zoom Fly 4 and these Speed 2, I didn't like them at first but once I got used to them they feel great, feel fast and it's fun to walk in. I think they look great. If you can find them for less than $100 I think they're a good deal

Pros
  • The shoes are great, they just weren't big enough so I sent them back.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people requiring waterproof footwear.

Fantastic shoes I think

The featherweight cushioning and support is amazing and while these are my first running shoes I'll probably stick with them.

Pros
  • Great shoes super comfortable
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people running in extreme weather conditions.

The best sneakers I've bought

I've been a Brooks Ghost fan for many years. Unfortunately the shoes (IMO) have fallen off in recent years and don't offer me the same level of comfort on long runs. I switched to Hoka Clifton but felt like I was on a platform. The Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 shoes are awesome! Comfort and response are very noticeable. You'll run faster...try slowing down lol! I will be buying another pair soon. I love these things! I won the Jackalope Colorway. I believe this is a joint version of Saucony and…

Pros
  • The design of the shoe provides support and reduces the risk of injury.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate stability for people who overpronate.

I didn't really need these shoes, but for the price of the eBay listing, it was easy. I have Hoka's and On Cloudmonsters in my daily rotation and these Saucony shoes have been a welcome addition too. They are light, well padded, fast and quite attractive. A full-length nylon overlay front spring pushes the foot forward, while maximum cushioning makes this shoe ideal for long runs. These are great shoes at $160, but at $80 I didn't get a chance to get past them. Glad I chose her!

Pros
  • The shoes have a removable insole that can be replaced with an individual orthopedic insole.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with narrow feet

walking on platforms.

Fit was good. Feel well. The cushion sole was huge. Felt like walking on marshmallows and 3 inch platforms. It's weird walking in them. I prefer something with a flat low sole. Adidas Boost, Nike Pegasus

Pros
  • I'm an avid runner of 60-90 miles a month. The Saucony Endorphin Series (Speed and Pro) are great running shoes. Worth every penny
Cons
  • Extremely narrow. The package arrived damaged. The shoes smelled strongly of formaldehyde as soon as they were unpacked. Not recommended.
