The purpose of the Saucony Endorphin Shift is to be an easy run trainer and for me, that’s exactly what I use it for. If sometimes your ankle rolls inward when you’re tired, the Saucony Endorphin Shift might help combat that. That being said, if you need a shoe with stability, I won’t use the Endorphin Shift alone. It’s neither neutral nor stability and can work for several foot types. The wider base in the Saucony Endorphin Shift also gives it some inherent stability. This makes it feel as though you are “rolling forward.” There is a big stack height, but the shoe only has a 4 mm heel to toe drop. The Saucony Endorphin Shift also uses Saucony “SpeedRoll,” which is their proprietary always-forward geometry. It’s bouncier and more responsive than many of Saucony’s shoes, which says a lot because Saucony is known to be a more responsive brand, to begin with. Like the rest of the Endorphin Line, the Saucony Endorphin Shift uses the PWRRUN Midsole. It feels fairly true to size but with a slightly wider base. Typically I wear between a women’s size 10-11 wide and I wear a size 10.5 in the Saucony Endorphin Shift. Like all of Saucony shoes, the heel counter is much lower than other brands.

The heel counter of the Saucony Endorphin Shift isn’t too rigid and you feel secure. If you think who cares about a running shoe tongue? After working in run specialty so many years…believe me…many people do. If you’re looking for a comfortable tongue with plenty of cushion, the Saucony Endorphin Shift is one of the best out there. The tongue in the Saucony Endorphin Shift is extremely padded. I don’t know a reason that 2 pull tabs are necessary but it doesn’t harm anything. It seems a little bit too much? One pull tab is attached to the heel while the second is on the tongue. Something interesting and unique to the Saucony Endorphin Shift is the two pull tabs on the shoe. The collar and tongue of the Saucony Endorphin Shift are soft and cushioned. While all three of the Saucony Endorphin shoes come in the exact same colorway, I went crazy and got pair of black (also so I won’t get them confused and run in a different shoe on each foot). Like the majority of running shoes right now, the Saucony Endorphin Shift has a breathable mesh.
