Saucony Women's Endorphin Speed Running Shoes, Future Pink, 7 B(M) US

I bought the Endorphin Speed to use for races (particularly, a half marathon I was running); wanted something with a bit more give than the carbon-plated Endorphin Pro and something I could train in if I needed to. I will admit, I have only worn them a couple of times to try them before my upcoming half, but this shoe is amazing! Light, cushiony and has a really nice spring to it. I would compare it to a New Balance 1080/Clifton softness, but with a much more responsive Speed-Roll technology unique to Saucony. The Endorphin Speed was worth the hype for sure. I ordered it in that beautiful light blue color, and it is really sharp. The only thing I would criticize about it is there is a plastic/metal (?; not quite sure of the material) on the outside part of the heel counter that doesn't need to be there. It looks cheap and will see if my heel rubs through, which would make it a serious problem. Saucony also put it on the new Kinvara 12, and it is horrendous. Saucony, please stop putting this ugly detail on the heel; so unnecessary! However, this is more of an aesthetic preference and doesn't affect the performance of the shoe. Additionally, I ordered my go-to Women's Size 7 (I wear the Ride 13s in this size as well) and it was definitely tighter. If you like a bit more space/running longer distances, I would suggest going up half a size.

Just ran a 5K, and these are the BEST running shoes I have ever owned! My feet did not hurt at all, lots of support and cushion. I use them on the treadmill and have cut my 5K time down, I will forgo asics, and only buy Sacony for my running needs! Great shoe!
