Saucony | Men’s Endorphin Speed 3 Running Shoes

Advice for Road Runners: The Saucony Men’s Endorphin Speed 3 Running Shoes in the Black/Goldstruck colourway offers many of the benefits of the Endorphin Pro 3, but in a package suited to a broader range of use.

Underfoot Feel

Rather than a carbon fibre plate, this shoe uses a semi-rigid nylon plate. This plate provides a slightly softer underfoot feel than carbon fibre, making it more suited to more regular fast-paced training, but still beneficial for some racing.

The plate has been redesigned from previous versions to incorporate winged geometry, making the shoe slightly more stable under the arch and more suited to regular training mileage.

The PWRRUN PB midsole foam has been slightly increased in thickness and is a Pebax and TPU blend, making it extremely lightweight and springy. Perfect for fast running, this midsole material is 40% lighter and 88% more energy returning than PWRRUN+, Saucony’s next most premium cushioning.

The plate used in the Saucony Men’s Endorphin Speed 3 Running Shoes also adds structure to the foam midsole, creating a springboard effect while also enhancing the rolling motion of the shoe. This rocker-like technology, called SpeedRoll, combines the curved geometry with a stiff forefoot to enhance your flow and help you pick up speed.

It helps by lifting the heels up and pushing the hips forward as you move through the gait cycle to create forward momentum. This effect improves your ability to run faster for longer as your muscles and tendons won’t fatigue as quickly.

Upper Fit

This version of the shoe retains the supportive heel collar introduced into the previous version and uses a slightly softer mesh for a more comfortable feel.

Ideal Run Type

If you’re looking for a cushioned, yet incredibly responsive and supportive performance running shoe for fast-paced runs, sessions or races, then take a look at the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3! It’s designed with speed in mind! 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
