Saucony  Endorphin Azura Road-Running Shoes - Men's

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.

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 😁👍👍

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!)

I bought this three days ago and I am in love with the product. There is so versatile that you could use it for your long runs daily runs even speed sessions.

my new go to daily trainer!!! I love the responsiveness of this foam and it's super light weight. helps me get moving on my daily training runs.

TL;DR - This shoe is one of the best daily trainers you can get on the market in 2026. Extremely versatile and very competitively priced for what you get. A perfect training companion for putting in the mile, gym work, or travel. Have already put this shoe through a few different of runs. From easy jogs to faster tempos/strides down to 5:30min/mi pace. These shoes can keep up with it all. I love the foam they've used with this Azura. I find it "bouncey" without feeling like you're sinking into the foam. I also appreciate there's no plate in it which I've always found firms up the ride a little too much at times. Overall, I love this shoe and it's a perfect replacement as I'm retiring my well worn endorphin speeds for putting in my daily miles. I also appreciate that there's plenty of colors to choose from for what fits your fashion and style. Makes it for a great "travel" shoe if you can only pair of athletic shoes. Fit-wise, I got it true-to-size. Keep in mind, most running shoes you should at least half size up from your regular shoe size (e.g. my foot on a shoe brannock is right on a US Men's 8. 95% of my running shoes including the Azuras are a Men's 8.5).

Love how light they are and the upper is great. Feels like I could run in these for fast and slow runs. Still gets 5 stars, but with no laces loop my tongue slides down on longer runs. This shoe is probably “true to size”, but I always have to get a half size larger in Saucony. That being said, I actually am going to rate this as “runs large” because out of 7 Saucony models it’s the only running shoe where I should have gotten an 11.5 instead of 12. Maybe even 11 - it’s that big compared to my other Saucony shoes.

Loving this shoe so far (only 20 miles on them). The most distinguishing feature IMO is the rocker. It fits in the daily trainer category, but I could see doing workouts in these too. I find myself running a little bit faster when running easy, as the rocker promotes a faster turnover. Also, having worn several versions of the kinvera, speed, pro series, this shoe also just looks the sharpest among each of these. I wouldn't use this shoe for a marathon race (I favor a plated race shoe), but it might be my favorite overall shoe from Saucony that I have tried. I'm now considering getting the elites 2, because I didn't realize how much I liked an aggressive rocker style shoe. I can't attest to its durability yet, but if it's anything like the endorphin line, I assume it'll hold up well.
