Saucony Azura Review:

Review by: Jonathan

Overall Thoughts:

• New addition to the Endorphin family and uses the same foam found in the Endorphin Speed and Endorphin Pro.
• Delivers a balanced, responsive ride on the run.
• Lightweight and bouncy, with enough cushioning for daily miles, recovery runs, and speedwork. Works well as a true do-it-all trainer.
• Great overall fit for many foot types and accommodating for a wide range of runners. Especially appealing as a versatile, non-plated daily trainer.

Cross-Brand Comparisons:

• New Balance Rebel v5
• Adidas Evo SL
• ASICS Novablast

Review by: Brian

Overall Thoughts:

• Lightweight, high-cushion, non-plated daily trainer.
• POWERUN PB+ foam feels light and fast with quick turnover.
• SpeedRoll geometry makes transitions feel smooth and snappy.
• Fits wider than most Saucony models (great for wider feet like mine).
• $150 and very competitive in the uptempo daily trainer category.

Cross-Brand Comparisons:

• New Balance Rebel v5
• Adidas Evo SL

• A true do-it-all shoe at an affordable price.
• Great for speed runs, long runs, tempos, and daily miles
• Slightly wider fit, noticeable for someone with a narrow foot like mine but great for all foot shapes!
• Lightweight feel with a firm, yet bouncy ride

Review by: Gavin

Overall Thoughts:

• Good for tempo runs or intervals because it’s very light
• Very responsive and soft underfoot
• A little too stiff for easy runs, in my opinion
• The fit runs slightly wide, but after tightening it down, it fits like a glove

Cross-Brand Comparisons:

• Mizuno Neo Zen 2
• Adidas Evo SL

Review by: Jacob

Overall Thoughts:

• Felt super light and not overly soft
• Perfect for both short runs and longer runs
• Very balanced ride
• Enough instep volume for my high-instep foot
• Another strong lightweight option
