Saucony Endorphin Shift Men's Shoes in Citrus Medium Review

As a runner and triathlete in my 60's, I still race and look for shoes that combine light weight with good cushioning. These shoes fit so well that I ran a 1:46 half marathon in them last November. The heel is finally wearing off and they aren't the most durable running shoes in the world but I put most of my miles on them so they did their job well. The fit is tight and responsive.

The Endorphin series has been thoroughly reviewed at Runner's World. It's a better cousin of the similar but lighter race shoe that successfully passed US Olympic trials. Great cushioning, high-tech upper, COOL and comfortable. NOT too high; it's incredibly stable. And the price here is amazing. If you are a serious runner you will probably read the reviews. Do it. I run in Asics, Hoka, NB, Brooks. Most of their best shoes will fit you. This is a great show at a great price.

I had Hokas before trying these shoes. Since I won't be spending $300 on another pair, I checked out these. Don't lie, I started running faster and was actually able to run 2 miles more! I really love these shoes. It's only been a week, but I think they're more effective than Hoki. They have the same spongy support but without the soft punch! Definitely recommend!

The delivery from the seller was fast, my delivery arrived before the estimated date. The fit of the shoe was perfect and comfortable when I did my first run. I like that the shoe "helps" tighten my foot and helps me stay in shape at all times. The comfort is great - it feels like you could walk forever. Definitely a great workhorse for long-distance running. I used to have a little problem with Achilles with the latest brand I had. Thanks to my endorphin shift, that's now a thing of the past…

I like the look and overall feel of the shoe, but if you have a slightly wide foot you may need to go up a size. I tried them on and they were so tight my little toes on both feet went numb. I'll try to increase the size and if that doesn't work I'll go elsewhere.

I liked everything except that 9 is too small. Then 9.5 was gone. Happy with another Saucony I bought at 9.5. Fits perfectly.

Finally, Saucony offers a very premium shoe that rivals the Hoka One One line and matches Nike's vaunted Zoom cushioning system. I find that Hoka's Endorphin Shift line and Bondi line are similar. The cushioning is different but my feet feel just as good after running in the Shift as they did in the Bondi 6. The Shift is better than the Nike Vomero in my opinion. Not much but better. I would buy them again and if I buy them from Best Buy for less than $100 I have a top notch running shoe. I am…

I've been running casually 3-5 times a week for 20 years and have gone through the shoe list a few times. This is by far the most comfortable shoe I've tried so perfect for recovery runs and great for everyday riding.

Shoes work well for me. I had an issue with extensor tendonitis and this type of shoe has a stiffer sole in the front and relies on the heel-to-toe movement to move the foot as you move. I used to have to connect my toes to other sneakers. I haven't had to bandage my toes yet.

I love my endorphin speed, but I was looking for good shoes to switch between for marathon training. I chose this shoe because it's softer...perfect for recovery runs or when your feet are a bit sore. I wouldn't call this shoe "fast" and wouldn't wear it on race day, but it does make your foot feel secure. I don't feel the Speed Roller technology like the Endorphin Speed but I think it has to do with the 4mm difference. Overall this is another solid shoe from Saucony and will play an important…

These are the best soft stabilization shoes I have ever tried, compared to the bondies they are much more stable and not bulky, love them.

I have a memory foam bed and never thought I would feel the same way about shoes. My legs feel the same comfort as on a new mattress. Stylish design without sacrificing haptics. It can be used for running, gym and walking. This particular brand has always been known for their comfort, but now they've stepped it up with looks. There is nothing better than having options.

I need extra padding due to chronic bursitis affecting both feet. I usually take Hoka One One and they work great but I decided to try these because they are cheaper. Unfortunately they don't have the cushioning depth of the Hoka shoes so I had to send them back. I'm sure they will work for most people but for those with foot problems or maybe a knee problem they may not fit as well as Hoka shoes. So it was with me.

I run 4 km 4-5 times a week. These are the best running shoes I've ever had. Good grip, great padding and great looks. Difficult to adjust the tightness of the laces.

A few days later, while I was running three miles a day, I started having pain in the side of my leg, near my knee. I'm a lifelong runner with 30 years of experience, tens of thousands of miles under my belt and this is the first time I've experienced this with any type of shoe and I've run in dress shoes! Had to fall back on an old, heavily worn pair until I bought a replacement, not the same model, and after that everything was fine. I've been told that shoes can be too stiff? I don't know…

Very convenient. The rubber outsole of the shoe is stronger and harder than I expected. Seems good for a walk. I am not sure if I will run many kilometers with it.

I got them a few months ago, they are very comfortable but they have a tight forefoot. I feel a strong pressure on the little toe of my right foot. While they're supportive and comfortable, they're not very durable either. I walk through a paved area and they wear down in foam.

My husband is a tall and tall man, 63 years old and 350 years old. I noticed that he strained walking with his ankles bent inward. I read reviews about his shoes and bought them, he tried them on and he said he immediately felt a pleasant relief, he said it helped him work longer

The shoes arrived quickly and were better than expected. I did a little research on the shoes and they came highly recommended, now I understand why. They are comfortable and offer excellent support for long-distance runs.

A comeback due to the shoe's fit and outsole doesn't look like it will last, the material feels subpar compared to other runners. Back to mizuno.
