Great shoe. Carbon plate and foam combination give great performance.

They feel great, with a wider toe box. Colours are bright and look good.

I found once you pass 6min mile pace, they push you to go faster.

Good value vs other brands equivalent.

Overall

First of all, even though I run in a shoe with a carbon plate in its midsole, the Saucony Endorphin Pro, I am NOT an elite runner (although I am in my 44th year of running). Over all those years of running, I have run the gamut of running shoes. My first real running shoe was a Saucony Jazz, and now it's the Endorphin Pro. This shoe amazes me in not only its cushioning & light-weight, but most especially its durability! I never go beyond 450 - 500 miles of running on one pair of shoes, but (despite showing some wear) it just keeps going & going & going. And even though I'm an over-pronator, the carbon plate in this shoe provides stability because of its inherent structure. I own the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 too & it also is an awesome shoe!
