Saucony  Endorphin Azura Road-Running Shoes - Men's

The shoes are comfortable and great for running, but the craftsmanship is poor. I ran in these shoes for a couple of weeks now and the silicone or rubber accents along the side of the shoe have come loose and looks sloppy. I’m tempted to just cut it off because it bothers me. I can understand if this sort of thing happened after months of use (normal wear and tear) but after a couple of weeks is not ideal. Also, these shoes have not gotten wet so I know it’s not water related.

I’ve been waiting for Saucony to put out a trainer in this lane for a while. As someone who has always enjoyed the Novablast, I never felt Saucony had a direct counterpart until this shoe. The ride sits in a really useful middle ground, it’s not overly super plush at easy paces, but it really wakes up when you move into moderate and faster efforts. It has a simple no-nonsense upper that hold you tight and lets the midsole shine. This is a really good option if you want one shoe to do it all. One note it that the pictures of the White|Salsa colorway are not accurate on the website, color looks pinkish on the website but is red in person.

This shoe fits true to size, and the description of the product is accurate. It is a light, neutral, cushioned shoe that works for me as a daily trainer and for faster race day performances. For bow-legged runners it provides all the shock absorption you could possibly need. I was looking for a light shoe to move one from the Tempus (1), and this fits the bill.

I've put in roughly 25 miles in these so far and I love them! Light on the feet and great for various places. Fit true to size and lock down great, no need for a heel lock (at least for me). Love the colorways, but will note some color has started to peel on inner portion of shoe. Not a concern to me as it's minor but felt it was worth mentioning. Overall a huge fan!

I watched this shoe come out and absolutely wanted it....a mix of my Endorphin trainer and my Endorphin Speed. A perfect fit for my foot with pretty good cushion but feels like it could use a tad more but not that big of deal. Another addition to my 7 pair of Saucony shoes I run in 😁👍👍

I am 75 miles into my pair of Azuras and I really enjoy them as an upbeat daily trainer. They feel very comfortable, lightweight and fit well on my foot. HOWEVER, i dont know why Saucony skimped on the outsole rubber so much. The exposed beaded foam is fraying like crazy and where there are 2 color layers of outsole rubber, it’s already wearing through the first layer exposing the next color. I have the endorphin pro 5 as well and that outsole rubber is more durable than the Azura. Id be surprised if this Azura pair makes it to 150 miles. I’d be willing to buy again since they feel great but I hope version 2 corrects this issue.

The Saucony Azura was a real surprise to me. I have slightly wide feet, and because of that I usually avoid buying Saucony shoes because they tend to run narrow, even in the wide versions. The Azura, however, fit my feet nicely and comfortably. I have completed a few long runs and a half marathon in them, and I couldn't be happier. As a heavier runner, I really appreciate the high stack. The cushioning is soft enough to provide comfort and absorb impact, while still being firm enough to deliver a stable ride over longer distances. The shoes work very well for me at both easy and tempo paces. I'm seriously considering buying another pair because it's usually difficult for me to find running shoes that fit this well. Once I find a good one, I like to secure a backup pair before they're gone.

After 40 miles, I am very happy with my Azuras (Men's 10.5). Me? I'm 58 y.o., 155 lbs on a good day, and not particularly fast (marathon pace 8:45-8:55, depending). These shoes are fun! They have no speed ceiling for me. I took them up to 8:00 minutes per mile, and they just sailed on, as smooth and as light as ever. They could use additional stabilizing features, but that's more me than the shoe. Looking forward to using them in my upcoming June marathon!

Me costó un poco adaptarme al principio, lo encontré firme de mas y el rocker delantero demasiado pronunciado, pero luego de usarlo varias veces, se ha suavizado la media suela y me adapté al rocker. Soy un corredor de 63 años y compré los Azura para correr un Maratón el próximo mayo, creo que me va a resultar muy bueno para esa carrera.

Just did my first run in the Azura. Love it! High cushioned firmness that works well for midfoot and/or heel strikers. I would take the Azura over another popular shoe in the same space/price range (A-Evo), as I like a slightly more stable ride. Great shoe!!! (Reference- I foot pronates and the other supinates-no problem!)
