White saucony pro

4/5

Overall

There a pretty good shoe for going those faster paces having a good spring mechanic that’s propels you forward giving you that extra boost u have ran some of my slower paces in these they are not the best as they don’t have that much support for those longer runs.

One of my fav all arounds

5/5

Overall

A little better at faster paces 8min + but overall a great shoe.  Fit = awesome.  Cushioning = perfect.  Nice pop but not too hard.  Plate is there but not too much spring.  Maybe not the best slow easy run shoe because you are just wasting the lifespan.  My fav for long runs too.

DISHONEST SAUCONY

1/5

Overall

A layer of one of my Endorphin Pros heels peeled off on a training run. The shoes do not even have 100 miles on them. Because I've trained and raced in Saucony for years I did not save the receipt and they won't honor the warranty. Who saves receipts of everything they buy? I won't continue using and recommending running shoes for a gigantic company that has no sense of customer service. Congratulations on saving a couple of hundred dollars Saucony!
