Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 Review: Unveiling incrediRUN
The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 features a brand-new foam, incrediRUN. Saucony claims it “provides a level of performance that has to be felt to be believed,” so that’s exactly what we did.
Outfitter's Tip: this is a UNISEX-sized shoe. Men's sizes are shown — women should order 1.5 sizes below their standard running shoe size. For example: for a women's size 9.5 shoe, order a size 8.
The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 proves that comfort and race-day performance can coexist.
Built around Saucony's new incrediRUN foam, this racing shoe delivers unexpected softness without sacrificing speed. A carbon-fiber plate and aggressive rocker shape keep you rolling forward, while the tall stack height provides plenty of cushioning to go the distance on race day.
Whether you're chasing down a marathon PR or blazing through a 5K, the Endorphin Elite 2's unique blend of soft cushioning and race-day tech creates a fast, comfortable ride that works with you when you're pushing the pace.

Still plush for those of us in need of comfort, but more spring and speed compared to the previous version. I like this shoe and plan to trust it on my upcoming next marathon.
As an older runner, I appreciate the extra cushioning and support. My runs have been longer and I'm now able to do 50 to 55 miles per week.
