[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered these shoes after I once again injured my knee. The support is absolutely perfect putting my knee back in alignment. The best part of they are comfortable like walking on air. I work in healthcare and am on my feet a lot. By the end of the day my feet don't hurt at all. Love these shoes. Love that I don't have knee pain when I wear them.
Thank you for the great feedback!
After struggling with my form & switching to guide I found myself contemplating the Endo speeds because I liked last year's model so I made the purchase and couldn't be happier. This shoe helps with my pronation and is super comfortable on long runs. The pro 3 used to be a favorite but makes my toes numb on long runs; this model gently rocks your stride forward and helps with speed. Not for casual walking.
The shoe itself is amazing. Helps my plantar fasciitis. Unfornately I’ve only had these shoes for a little over a month and the logo itself ripped off on both shoes. Don’t know if I want to buy another pair - just sucks that they look beat up already.
I bought this shoe a month ago. The decals and symbols fell off after the first run. The shoe itself feels nice but the shoe looks awful with the decals hanging off the sides. This happened to the same shoe I purchased 2 months ago also. :(

Endorphin Speeds never disappoint! Very comfortable shoe and great choice for colours.
I so wanted to love these, as I adore the speed 3’s, but the firmer sole just doesn’t work for me. My feet just ached after each run and I didn’t feel that same forward momentum when running. I also had a hard time lacing them tight enough around my foot, every time the laces would loosen before I could get them tied. I should also mention that I had to go down a half size from the speed 3’s, and they still felt a little too roomy in the toe box. I did enjoy the increased traction on the bottom and the ventilation in the upper. However, they are going back. I’ll pick up another pair of the 3’s while they are still available.
This shoe is perfection! I don’t understand the negative reviews. It is the best Saucony I have ever owned ( and I have owned a lot!) It feels like running on down pillows, the recoil is amazing . It literally pushes you forward to run faster with little effort but it has the comfort to endure long arduous runs as well. I have heel issues for the last year and have been struggling to find something that works for me. This is the first shoe I have worn where immediately my foot felt fine. Perfect all around shoe. I don’t even know how you could improve it . Maybe neon pink/yellow colour combo?
This was my second purchase of the Speed 4. The toe box is perfect for my foot imperfections. It’s lightweight, however I feel ankle support especially on turns. I love the little bounce of the midsole. If there was one tiny area of opportunity, I would share that this may not be your “long run shoe”. Overall, solid shoe for any surface and short to mid distance.
Thanks for sharing your experience Jan!
I loved the Speed 3, so purchased the Speed 4 in the same size. Unfortunately, the 4 seems to have more room in the toe box than the 3 did, so I'm not finding the same comfortable fit as before. I'm having a lot of heel slippage, even with heel-lock lacing. I'm wearing double socks for now while I continue to search for the proper insert, since I cannot return these for a different size, but I would definitely reocmmend trying more than one size if you were a fan of the 3. I probably could have gone with just 1/2 size up instead of a full size up with the 4s.Overall, still love the shoe, just not a fan of a fit change between models.
We appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
I absolutely fell in love with these shoes! For years, I was running in Brooks Ravenna 11, but I wasn’t really into running seriously back then. Recently, as I started running more and my Ravenna wore out, I decided to try the Brooks Glycerin. Unfortunately, they didn’t work for me, and I ended up with knee pain. That’s when I decided to give these Saucony shoes a shot after reading some positive reviews on this website. Initially, I was hesitant, but after three runs, I’m hooked! I’m so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I’m sharing this review for anyone who might be hesitant about trying new things—sometimes, it's worth the leap!
Thank you! We love hearing from happy customers!
