My name is Paul and I loath reviews. Reading and writing them. This is a testimony. I’ve run LA (twice), Long Beach (twice), and the Surf City Marathon. I even created my own marathon in 2020 and took out from home in a backpack. I love to run. It is spiritual. I wore the Books Levitate for a few years, until they tightened the mesh around the toe…that’s when I found these shoes. Light, bounce, smooth transition, PR, PR, PR. Most importantly, I should not be a marathon runner by body type. Broken leg (2 pins, 3 surgeries), football-type 50-year old body, college athlete (translation: my knees paid for my education), excuse, narrative, blah, blah, weak, weak! My spirit, these shoes, “the streets” instantly have a problem. Cue some 90’s hip hop, mixed with 80s pop, ... MoreMy name is Paul and I loath reviews. Reading and writing them. This is a testimony.

All kidding aside, I do no even know “post etiquette” but I depend on these shoes. I have purchased over 40 pair. I always say to myself when training, “18 miles down the road, no one’s coming to save you.” Don’t need their help. Good shoes, water, gel pack, kill it, rinse and repeat. #IRunTheseStreets

I have been a loyal Saucony customer for nearly 2 decades. I run 5-6 days/week and multiple half marathons throughout the year. I like a light shoe, and have been running in the Type A shoes for many years. As I have been experiencing pain in my ankles for some time now, I decided to try out a shoe with more cushion. The Endorphin Pro 3 provides AMPLE cushion without adding incremental weight. It took me a few days to break them in, but since then they've been incredibly comfortable and I am ankle pain-free for the first time in I can't remember how long. Also, because of the way the sole is shaped, they almost force you increase your speed (which is a fun perk). Note on sizing: Many of the reviews said to order a 1/2 size larger because they thought they ran small, ... MoreI have been a loyal Saucony customer for nearly 2 decades.

Very pleased on the whole, so light, bouncy and responsive, yet comfortable. But two minor comments:1) I have wide feet (wear 11.5 wide when available), had to go up to 12 given no wide sizes in the Endorphin line. 11.5 was way too snug. 12 is fine. Not noticing any sliding inside the shoe. Not a big deal, but thought worth noting.2) First race wearing them was a 1/2 marathon with bandaids after reading about some people getting blisters/raw spots on their Achilles, and had no problems. Shoes felt great, toe box was wide enough in the larger size that I had no problems with my Morton's neuroma. But I just ran a 10k without protecting my heels and ended up with a spot rubbed raw on the Achilles. Will make a habit of wearing bandaids at the back going forward.

As a long-time user of the Saucony Endorphin Speed and Pro shoes in versions 1 and 2, I was keen to get the latest Pro 3 for race use. Fit is true to size for my size 9 narrow feet - pretty well identical to the older versions. There’s no heel rub, good lockdown, acceptable stability and perhaps a little more space in the toe box. Compared to the Pro 2, the 3 has a softer and bouncier ride, better grip and a slightly more exaggerated flip up at the toe. The Speedroll shape and sole stiffness due to the carbon plate combine to give me a really comfortable ride. I have hallux rigidus and prefer a soft, stiff, rocker sole which minimises flex in my big toe joint. I’ve only tried the Pro 3 so far on a couple of short test runs but they feel fantastic when I up my speed ... MoreAs a long-time user of the Saucony Endorphin Speed and Pro shoes in versions 1 and 2, I was keen to get the latest Pro 3 for race use.

I’ve only tried the Pro 3 so far on a couple of short test runs but they feel fantastic when I up my speed and I feel confident to wear them for my next race. The major downside - and an issue for all so-called super shoes - is the high price. However, the Pro 3 is now widely available at discount prices so it represents better value for money.
I've run in and loved Endorphin Speeds for up to marathon distances since the first generation. The old Endorphin Pro's were too harsh for anything longer than 5ks. Enter the Endorphin Pro 3's...Nike Vaporfly competitors! The midsole's awesome, the carbon plate refined, but the tongue gets sucked into the shoe letting laces dig in , and the upper's too narrow...narrow toes, narrow arch that actually pinched my arch between the shoe upper and sole! It's a shame the sizing changed for such a great shoe! Saucony's spot on with all their other sizing...consistent as can be. But the Endorphin Pro 3's are way too narrow, especially for a shoe meant for marathon distances! No wide version available either...bummed!
A Solid 4 stars. The price is awesome for this caliber of a shoe. I think we're all tired of paying $250, and up for carbon plated shoes. This shoe is a breath of fresh air, and easier on the pockets. Soft landing, and quick turnaround. Lightweight, and I love this color. I ran the the 2022 NYC marathon in them, and couldn't be happier with their performance. I happen to run a PR that day. Only one issue I have with them, and that would be the tongue. I noticed the tongue would ride down after just a little while. It's very annoying when you feel the laces against your foot in the middle of your run, and there's no tongue between your foot, and the laces.. Normally a shoe would have a small loop attached to the tongue to bring the laces through and hold the tongue ... MoreA Solid 4 stars. The price is awesome for this caliber of a shoe.

Normally a shoe would have a small loop attached to the tongue to bring the laces through and hold the tongue in place. I don't know why a loop wasn't add here. It's a simple solution, and I would have rated this shoe 5 stars had it not been for this problem. Other than that, this is a solid race day shoe. I definitely recommend it.
I am 60. I run way more than I should and have been training hard for the past couple years. Been a runner all my life. These shoes are just incredible. Out of the box fit like a glove. The first thing you notice is the wieght. There is no way a shoe this light can do what it does but.. it does. The midsole material is like running on a cloud and the carbon plate combined with the roll tech definitely pushes you forward. The biggest difference for me was the lack of soreness from impact. My legs get tired but prior to this the soreness would also be a factor in my training schedule. The immediate degrading of that soreness has allowed my legs t ok nrecover faster and better and I have been able to add not just miles to my work out but more workouts during the ... MoreI am 60.

First let me say, I only bought this shoe because I love polka dots & pandas. Yes, I am one of those runners, sometimes. I am not a fast runner, but I have run 5 miles a day for 49 years w only one real injury, so I’m consistent. Like a turtle I stay the course. & I’m 66,I absolutely love this shoe! It is bouncy & light & I took it out the first day for a 12 mile run w absolutely every mile a pleasure. I have wide feet in front & very narrow heel but this shoe was made for my foot.This is my first purchase spending crazy $$ but it’s worth every cent.For reference, I am female who always wears a size 8 in Saucony, Hoka & Altra. In unisex I bought a 6.5 & it fits perfectly. I don’t love what the laces are made of, they tend to come untied, but that’s my only ... MoreFirst let me say, I only bought this shoe because I love polka dots & pandas.

The shoe is so light you forget you have shoes on.
Used these for the Philadelphia Marathon this past weekend...The good - Great energy return, good grip, felt good UNDER the foot but everywhere else I couldn't wait to get these off.The bad - The lockdown seams ok but the tongue is terrible and will slide all over the place shortly after you start running leaving nothing in between the laces and your foot. The sides near the ankle seem too high. When cornering my ankles would dig into the side of the shoe (Might just be my ankles). The shoes just feel overall cheezy with the upper, tongue, and laces.Worst but not least. These have terrible hot spots on the heel near your Achilles tendon. I have several other pairs of Saucony and have never gotten blisters on my Achilles until these. And when I say bad... I ... MoreUsed these for the Philadelphia Marathon this past weekend...The good - Great energy return, good grip, felt good UNDER the foot but everywhere else I couldn't wait to get these off.The bad - The lockdown seams ok but the tongue is terrible and will slide all over the place shortly after you start running leaving nothing in between the laces and your foot.

I have been running 8 miles a day and needed a shoe which would save my knees and prevent pain in my muscles.I tried at least more than 50 well know brand and different styles of running shoes and eventually I found Saucony pro 3 the best in the market for the speed, recovery and the long run. They are amazing. I cannot believe some people gave this shoes less than 5 stars. If I could give this shoes more than 5 stars I would definitely do.Despite they are pricey, I will keep buying them as I am enjoying my runs and the feeling of it. I have no pain or soreness anywhere in my feet or legs. It saves my knees. Since I am using these shoes I run my 8 miles in 60 minutes. Faster and really effortless. I feel I am cheating. Great feeling though.If you are a long ... MoreI have been running 8 miles a day and needed a shoe which would save my knees and prevent pain in my muscles.I tried at least more than 50 well know brand and different styles of running shoes and eventually I found Saucony pro 3 the best in the market for the speed, recovery and the long run.
