Saucony  Endorphin Azura Road-Running Shoes - Women's

The 6.5 has my toes curling, it’s pinching my heel and the sock liner of the tongue mad my feet start falling asleep because it was so tight. The 7 is my normal size and it was HUGE. I am talking, I had more than an inch in front of my toe. I cannot understand how there is no predictability in sizing since Covid. This isn’t a matter of, I couldn’t get the shoe to fit—I have no options when the difference between a half size is either “my toes are hitting the front of the shoe and curling under,” or, “I had to double check the box to make sure I didn’t get a men’s shoe because it was so big.” I am fed up with trying to find running shoes. I can’t combat inconsistent sizing, and I’ll look elsewhere.

I’ve only put 20 miles on my new Azura’s and I’m OBSESSED. They’re lightweight, have stable foam (same as the endorphin speed), are still cushioned, and the toe-off is epic. I feel like it’s easy to run with proper form in these shoes (my feet land directly underneath my body). I cannot recommend this shoe highly enough. It’s a jack of all trades. Great for mellow long runs but also fantastic as you gradually pick up the pace. A fantastic addition to the endorphin lineup. Well done, Saucony!

Easily my new favorite shoe! I put on any other shoe now and they feel heavy and not as responsive. The rock on these shoes make running feel easier, perfect for long or short runs, speed or endurance, road or treadmill, all around the shoe I can grab every day and know I’ll be set up for success. It is a bit tight around the toe box and my toes would go tingly/numb a little, but they have loosened up and no longer do that. So if they’re feeling tight, give them some time and don't wear your thickest socks like I did :) Even if it does it’s only for the first mile and most of the time it’s because I didn’t stretch or warm up my feet before putting them on. Can’t wait to wear these on a race day!

Love Saucony shoes. Excellent for walking

I love Saucony shoes and this new shoe from the Endorphin line reminds me of my old Endorphin Speeds but with better stability. They are very light with plenty of cushioning and the toe box is generous. I've been using them for logging both easy miles and long run miles. The only thing that prevents me from rating this a 5 is the tongue of the left shoe (my foot is a bit shorter than my right) has been slipping. I have had several runs where I could feel it creeping back, and I had to stop, pull it forward, and retie the shoe. I may try to find an inventive way to make sure this stops happening but otherwise it has been a perfect new shoe for me.

I have been watching the reviews about the new Azura since they were released. I am a Marathon Runner and have been struggling to find a good shoe since I lost faith in the Asics Nimbus a few years back. I have been using the Hoka Clifton10 for the past year but have not been completely satisfied it was the right shoe for me. I went for my first 10 km hilly run this morning in my new Azura and was impressed. The show provided more bounce and cushion then what I was expecting and very comfortable as my foot immediately molded right into the shoe. I am going to order a second pair for my spring Marathon Training! Thank you Saucony for bringing out this shoe

Long time runner with endorphin speeds. Was cautiously optimistic about these shoes thinking they may be the same. Unfortunately, these shoes did not work for me. They seemed very high and a bit clunky. They also seemed to be a half size too big. Maybe if they had fit better, I might have kept them to use as an occasional trainer, but the shoes were too long on my foot and it felt like I would have been tripping over my feet. Also, the rocker sole felt strange.

Saucony continues to only improve their best products whereas so many other brands have left me disappointed in sneakers that were once my favorite. I love these sneakers for road running and they leave my joints happy without sacrificing stability with their cushioning. My last two pairs of sneakers were On Cloud and the cushioning was a little out of control and my ankles felt unstable on may runs. The Saucony Endorphins were a sneaker I enjoyed in the past and decided to go back to and I’m so glad I did and got the Azuras. They’re reactive, stable, and my knees and ankles feel great on the longer road runs.

Outstanding. These are everything I loved about the Endo Speed 1s and 2s but with more stability and protection and better toe space. I ran a quick 7mi out of the box, no need to stop for lace adjustments, as they hug your feet wonderfully. Super airy and lightweight feeling. The rocker is so fun and the cushioning is a perfect blend of soft/firm to give you bounce without feeling harsh. I can walk, run or race in this ONE shoe. These will easily handle 50 miles and longer races, wet or dry. Cannot believe these come in at just 40mm heel and no plate; they feel like a plated super shoe!

I bought these for my first HYROX. I did not want a plated shoe because they are stiff for lunges. So far these are great in training. They definitely are bouncy and soft for runs. They do a take a bit of getting used to in my calf muscles but other than that I have no complaints. They are great colors too.
