Saucony Women's Endorphin Speed Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Road Racing Sneakers for Marathon Training & Long Distance Running

Saucony makes the best running/walking shoes for my feet. The Endorphin model keeps my bum knee well aligned, so I don't have pain when I walk in them. I have to say this particular model is a big lighter and less supportive than the more expensive Endrophin models. You get what you pay for.I am comparing the comfort and my running performance on thread mill between a couple of Saucony shoes that I own, by far this is the best in term of performance of comfort. I was able to run a complete one mile without stopping, usually I have to run and walk. Secondly, in other shoes I always add orthotic insole for extra comfort but I didn't feel I need it. The price is a big jump from other Saucony that I have bought but from my initial test I am satisfied and think the price was justified. In general I found Saucony shoes are wider than most shoes which is what I want, and this one is no exception.I was having hip issues and ever since I starting wearing these sneakers my feels so much better !!! Get you a pair if you’re debating!!I bought these sneakers because I have a pale pink pair I bought at a shoe store which was excellent The pink shoes gave me great support for high arches and comfortable for walking the new shoes which are supposed to be made the same way are much lighter in construction and feel a little flimsy I don’t use them for walking any distance or standing for any timeI love these shoes. They are light weight, well made, and there is plenty of room in the toebox. I use them to walk on my treadmill. I am 66 years old and really love walking outside but a lot has changed over the past two years and I just don't feel as safe walking outside alone anymore so I invested in a good pair of running shoes and now I use my treadmill daily in the comfort of my home. I would recommend these. They are like walking on air. Very comfortable. I actually bought two pair of these with no regrets.I liked the appearance of the shoe, they were lightweight with a decent amount of cushion Unfortunately they didn’t have the support/ stability my feet require.This is a great cushioned sneaker. Takes a fewSteps to get used to this shoe, however after doing so it feels like you are walking on clouds. I have arthritis and have found this to be the most comfortable shoe/sneaker I own.I’ve been through many running shoes and even professionally fitted. I absolutely looove these shoes! They are helping me increase my speed and my knees feel good. As a mom, a PT told me one hip is misaligned so i need to be careful. I’m a medium to high arch. There could be a little more arch support perhaps but I’ve noticed too much stabilization can aggravate my knees. Highly recommend.Edit: reducing to 4 stars because these shoes seem to degrade quickly. My daughter has her own for every day wear and...same thing. Saucony shoes don’t appear to made like they used to.Bought as a present for partner. Took her pace down from 5m10s a kilometre to between 4m50s and 4m55s. She's been running a couple years in Brooks shoes: moderately cushioned; fairly average stack height and drop so the extra foam and plate will be helping. She has cracked her target of sub 25min 5km. Regardless of whether it's down to the shoes, she's enjoying running more again and that's great. Her form looks a bit better now too, she looks more upright and hip angle just looks right, like the shoe is either rolling her quickly onto forefoot on landing or propelling her past a heel strike on each stride. Who knows! She likes the shoes.A friend of mine has decided to buy them too now. Our hard weekly km intervals are done at paces around 3m30s with 6 to 8 reps. We were a good match for each other in Kinvara 12s. Now, with me in Kinvara 12 and him in Endorphin speeds I'm being outrun in the last 200m of every rep and struggling to match him at all in the last 3 or 4 reps. I hope it's the shoes and not my fitness!Watch out Uk buyers This seller is in Italy and now denies having a Uk return address so returns have to be posted to ITALY. which is a ballache. And very expensive and also unreliable for postageShoes arrived with a warped sole. Really disappointed after waiting 12 days for delivery. Totally unwearable as my ankle was throbbing after a few minutes of wear due to the uneven sole.The best running shoes I’ve tried so far!I bought these shoes with the specific purpose of "running faster, not harder", and they delivered. Like all Saucony shoes, they do not require breaking in, but establishing a new PB/ PR the very first time you take them for a run was a surprise! If I broke my personal record in training, which has never happened before, I can imagine I would run even faster in a race!!!... Money well spent.Update after 4 months: I improved again my Personal Best, in a race, thanks to these shoes, and by a big margin: 18 sec / km. I cannot be happier about these shoes.
