Saucony Endorphin Pro vs Saucony Triumph 18

Verdict

Overall, the Saucony Endorphin Pro receives mixed reviews. Some runners find them to be comfortable and great for racing, while others struggle to get a good response from the midsole. The shoes are praised for their energy return due to the embedded carbon fiber plate, but some find them too harsh for a full marathon. They are generally considered a good option for fast interval sessions and shorter races. The design and shape of the shoe are also praised by some. However, the lockdown could be improved, according to one reviewer. The Saucony Endorphin Speeds are also mentioned as a good option for those who need a wider toe box.

Verdict
