Stability (note – this is with my custom insoles so it may be less stable with the manufacturer supplied insoles): This is marketed as a neutral shoe, but I find this shoe very stable. Saucony also now do two other designs, a more understated ‘Black and white’ (mostly black!) and a ‘Future Black’ which is another 80’s neon number on a black background. It looks even better in real life than in pictures. The old Saucony Freedom was the same for me, so I think some Sauconys fit slightly smaller than other brands.ĭesign: I think the ‘White Mutant’ colourway which my shoes are in is great – like an 80’s disco all white strobe and neon flashes. Sizing: I usually run in a UK size 9.5 but tried both the 9.5 and 10 and ended up taking the size 10, which has worked out fine. Note the green rubber on the inside view and the thick plastic heelcup, both of which help with stability
Perhaps the Speedroll makes it less relevant? Side review – the thickness of the sole is very clear from this viewpoint. To be honest I did not notice the lower drop. This is quite low – most non-racing shoes are around 10 mm on the basis that a higher drop is supposed to reduce Achilles strain. difference between height of midsole at back and front): 4 mm.
Saucony endorphin shift review pro#
It also lacks the stiff plate embedded in the sole of the Pro (carbon) and Speed (nylon).ĭrop (i.e. The Shift is quite a bit heavier than the Pro and the Speed, mainly because the sole is standard PWRRUN rather than the lightweight pebax PWRRUN in those racier shoes. Note that this is without insoles, since I wear custom insoles therefore remove the original insoles from the shoes. Weight: 307.5 grams/ 10.8 ounces (per shoe). And don’t be put off by the weight – it doesn’t feel at all like a shoe that weights over 300 grams (10 ounces). Extremely comfortable and supportive, and good at both slow and faster paces.
In fact the only negative aspect of these shoes that I have discovered so far is that the sparkling white upper doesn’t agree with the English weather – the toes of both are now a grubby brown! My knees have been feeling a bit unhappy since late January – I think a combination of the cold weather and a slip when running in the snow in February – and of all my shoes these seem to work best for preventing any issues. I bought the Shift as an alternative easy long run shoe to my Brooks Adrenaline and have actually found the Shift to be more comfortable and supportive. ‘ For those looking to give their body a break’ as Saucony put it. The Endorphin Shift is the cushioned, easy-run shoe in the range. All three use what Saucony call ‘Speedroll’ technology, which refers to a curved sole that is supposed to help you to run smoothly and efficiently. Introduction: Saucony launched the Endorphin range in 2020: the Pro, the Speed and the Shift.
