How it ranks
The Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 is one of the strongest racing shoes in our data. Looks and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Durability scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 36 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the Endorphin Pro product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“That carbon bounce, mixed with a decent stability on corners, is hard to find.”
“The upper material is not durable at all, the holes appeared in the toes area after 35 miles.”
“The flick of the stiff plate, combined with firmer mid-foot foam than previous models, means Saucony got the right sauce with the Pro 3.”
“They are fast and propel you forward without feeling heavy or too big.”
“Lightweight, not as much cushion, but the carbon fiber plate makes every run feel comfortable.”
“It just flows, without having to put in an effort the speed is really good.”
“These shoes are so light, you barely know they are on your feet.”
“The ventilation keeps the shoe cool as well as drains well if the weather is wet.”
“Very springy, but there is a pressure point in my right inside heel from the shoes.”
“It doesn't get clunky when running at slower paces.”

These shoes are so light, you barely know they are on your feet. Love the mesh uppers. Very springy, but there is a pressure point in my right inside heel from the shoes.

These shoes are great, I've been training in them for triathlon and planning to race in them and they are light but super comfortable, and FAST! They are definitely on the expensive side but for me it is worth it.

It's a very comfortable and fast shoe, but the upper material is not durable at all, the holes appeared in the toes area after 35 miles...

Lightweight, speedy roll technology, stable perfect grippy and solid cushion, airy mesh foot-conforming uppers make this my go-to half and marathon racer. The only disappointment I have about the Endorphin Pro is that it doesn’t come in wide width for women!
