Review Summary

Here's what customers have to say
The product offers a comfortable and durable construction with good cushioning and responsiveness, providing a smooth and energy-efficient ride suitable for high-mileage training, recovery runs, and tempo workouts. However, some users found the cushioning to be a bit firm or stiff, and the fit may feel sloppy for those with narrower feet. The exposed foam can also make the shoe louder. Overall, the product is a versatile and reliable option for most runners, though the fit and feel may require some break-in time.

Lots of miles
The Endorphin Trainer has been a workhorse for me in training for a half marathon in November. The is well constructed and has held up through 300 miles. I would suggest sizing up in the shoes for better comfort and feel. The shoe provides a very soft yet responsive ride on my long runs. Just wish the shoe was just slightly more slender. Looking forward the next releas

Endorphin Trainers!
I have used them for longer up tempo efforts. Energy return is great. While they are a little on the heavier side and can be loud they still perform good. They have plenty of cushion and keep your feet comfortable especially on higher mileage runs. These shoes are probably my most comfortable shoes I have. The only reason I could give 5 stars is because the sizing they run slightly big but I don’t think enough to justify sizing down. Overall Great shoe!

Not as expected.
Very bulky and clunky shoe which I believed would be similar to the Endorphin Elite. The midsole has very little cushion and there is very little roll. I would not purchase this shoe again.

These Shoes Are Too Loud!!
Am I wearing horseshoes or running shoes? Just walking around the house after ordering the shoes made me realize that I can't run 400 miles in these shoes listening to the loud noise these soles make. On the upside, they were comfortable.

Sloppy and Sluggish
Have ran in endorphin speeds since series 2 but wanted to try another daily trainer esque shoe so reading about the trainers I grabbed them immediately. I have ran about 50-75 miles in them so far, and I’m sad to say but these shoes were a mess for me. From the squishy foam that made these bordline unstable, heaviness, the loud clunks heard from each step, every run just felt so odd. I usually never experience any real soreness or pain after a run but after my several runs in this shoe I started to have some calf pains. It’s hard to recommend these shoes to anyone knowing the additional shoes saucony has to offer

Very cushion and responsive BUT sloppy fit
A very cushioned and responsive trainer....BUT the upper is very very sloppy feel and large if you have WIDE feet it will fit perfectly BUT if you loved any of the other Endorphin fits this shoe is not the same. Again fine for easy runs but way to sloppy fit and although true to size for length the width is ridiculous. I wouldn't buy again for that reason. Needs a sock style upper. As for cushioning and responsive it scores very high
