Our verdict

In its 3rd iteration, we noticed that the Saucony Endorphin Shift loses a bit of speed but gains much more in comfort and protection. It’s a great daily performance trainer that’s able to shine on both easy days and when you need to push harder. Sure, it’s massive, but it's also surprisingly light on foot, stable, and versatile. We struggled to find any serious cons in this shoe.

Cómo elegir unas zapatillas de Saucony | Saucony кроссовки черные 47 размер оригинал vs. Shift 2

There have been some significant updates from the previous version Saucony S-Ride 13 Junior Zapatillas para Correr SS21-38.

The Endorphin Shift 3 is 0.9oz (26g) lighter, softer underfoot, slightly more flexible, and has 2mm more cushioning.

Airy, thin upper

The upper is very well designed in this Saucony shoe. We found that it balances plush in-shoe comfort with ventilatoin quite admirably.

Assessing its breathability with the help of a smoke-pumping machine, it is clear to see that the Shift 3 lets the air pass much more freely. Because of that, its breathability deserved a 4 out of 5 for breathability from us.

See how easily the light passes through the shoe's toebox. It appears as if the mesh is 100% transparent.

This Saucony shoe hugs your feet

Trying the shoe on, we found that it is most suitable for narrow and medium feet because of its slightly narrower configuration.

Saucony-Endorphin-Shift-3-fit

Based on our measurements, the shoe's toebox is 94.2 mm at its widest part which is 4 mm narrower than the average. So it cannot be referred to as wide-foot friendly.

In addition, there is a moderately stiff heel counter that secures the ankle. We gave it 3/5 in our assessment. It gave us no issues with heel slippage.

Pushes you forward

The Endorphin Shift 3 has a highly rockered geometry that really helped to propel our feet on the run.

As a result, we experienced a forward-rolling sensation which helped us cruise through longer runs. We believe that the rolling sensation is in part provided by the shoe's stiff forefoot.

Measuring how much force it takes to bend the Shift 3 to a 90-degree angle (43.9N), we found it to be 30% stiffer than saucony run club on average.

This Endorphin can handle it all

With a massive stack and slightly soft cushioning, we found this shoe to be a gentle giant that’s perfect for slow-paced runs. We discovered that this Saucony shoe didn't feel at ease on faster paces like uptempo efforts.

Measuring the shoe's tack height in the heel, we got 39.6 mm which is about 6 mm taller than the average and makes it one of the thickest midsoles on our list.

Saucony-Endorphin-Shift-3-heel-stack
Disclaimer: Our stack measurements include the shoe's insole too. On the Endorphin Shift 3, the insole is 6.9 mm thick which also happens to be 2.4 mm thicker than the average.

Saucony-Endorphin-Shift-3-insole

Turning to our durometer to check the midsole softness, we got a reading of 22.0 HA. This makes the Endorphin Shift 3 10% plusher than average.

And if you are planning to take the Saucony кроссовки черные 47 размер оригинал out on a chilly day, keep in mind that the foam will get a bit firmer and will require some breaking in. We kept the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes and the cushion got 38.6% denser.

The usual, reliable traction

There is nothing fancy about the outsole Saucony S-Ride 13 Junior Zapatillas para Correr SS21-38 3 but it gets the job done and provides a solid grip most of the time.

Feels light when running

Weighing 9.4 oz (266g) in a men's US size 9, the Shift 3 is close to the average weight of saucony run club (9.5 oz or 270g). However, out on the road, it does feel lighter than expected and it seems like the weight drop from version 2 makes it easier to turn the legs over.

Saucony кроссовки черные 47 размер оригинал is for every situation

The softer midsole, combined with a well-crafted upper, make the shoe ideal for casual wearing too. In fact, this Saucony shoe kept us comfortable even when worn all day long!

The stability you wouldn’t expect

Despite its height, the shoe feels pretty stable and supportive from heel to toe. We attribute this to the wide platform, and to the sidewalls around the heel and midfoot that combined together work very well. Ultimately, we never felt as though we were trying to balance on a circus ball.

The shoe comes with a nice and wide platform in both the forefoot and the heel. According to our caliper measurement, it is 110.8 mm wide in the forefoot (2 mm narrower than average) and 93 mm in the heel (3 mm WIDER than average).

Another contributing factor to stability is how rigid the shoe is when twisted. We assessed the Shift 3's torsional flexibility as 3/5 (where 5 is the stiffest). That makes it moderately stiff.

Lacing up is not an issue in the Endorphin Shift 3

We haven't experienced any issues with the shoe's lacing or lockdown. A secure fit is guaranteed in the Endorphin Shift 3.

No need to replace it soon

Sneakers SAUCONY Shadow 6000 Grey Black Saucony Løpesko Clarion 2 is long-lasting, mainly due to the firm rubber on the outsole that does not wear out quickly. After over 30 miles, we can confirm that the wear-resistance Saucony S-Ride 13 Junior Zapatillas para Correr SS21-38 3's rubber is top-notch!

At $150 this is clearly not a cheap shoe (the average for a road running shoe is $140), yet considering all Saucony S-Ride 13 Junior Zapatillas para Correr SS21-38 3's assets and lack of serious issues, we found the price to be justified.
