Saucony Running Shoes

Saucony Running Shoes: Saucony running shoes from the Endorphin range are built for fast running, from tempo training to racing. The models differ mainly in whether and which plate sits in the midsole.

What defines Endorphin

Since 2020, Saucony has grouped its fast models under the name Endorphin. The foundation is usually PWRRUN PB, a lightweight cushioning foam. On top of that comes SPEEDROLL, Saucony's rocker geometry, which is meant to encourage a fluid step forward and faster transitions. The racing shoes additionally feature a slotted carbon plate.

Originals are everyday shoes

ProGrid Omni 9, Guide 7 and Triumph 4 were once running shoes, but today they are reissues for everyday wear. You'll find them under Saucony Sneakers. For an overview of the models along with sizing tips, head to Saucony Shoes.
