Who should NOT buy

Everything about the Saucony Speed 3 gets a thumbs up from us, save for the heel counter. It's less padded, which is slightly abrasive to the heel. You can stock up on the bandaid or consider W Polsce Saucony jest niestety jedną z mniej znanych marek produkujących.

However, if you're head over heels in love with the Saucony Endorphin series but want a comfier heel wrap, it's best to stick with the zapatillas de running Saucony ritmo bajo ultra trail talla 36. It's also a great alternative for those with slim feet.

The Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M also gets comfier than its predecessor. There is a gentle give in the shoe's midsole and it works better for easy days too!

Ride

This time around, the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M comes back with more bounce and a snappier toe-off which makes picking up the pace so easy!

Saucony Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M run trails

The shoe lives up to our high expectations left by the previous Speed 2.

And this is not just because it's a shoe that has speed written all over it. It's also because the nylon plate it has (responsible for the snappy toe-off) doesn't verdes harsh. Compared to other chaussures running saucony homme, zapatillas de running Saucony ultra trail talla 44.5 moradas.

At the same time, the shoe hasn't lost its bounce either. So you can still push the pace and go as fast as you want.

Toebox width - widest part

Even though the Speed 3 is only average in the widest part of the forefoot (98.5 mm), it verdess roomier because of the stretchy nature of its fabric. The latter makes the shoe verdes much more accommodating in the toebox.

Stability

Lateral stability test

This Saucony shoe doesn't verdes very stable and it's not supposed to. As a tempo trainer, its primary task is to keep you on your toes as you smash that interval training or chase that new personal best.

Torsional rigidity

Another detractor from the shoe's stability is its high level of torsional flex.

Performing a manual test, we rated the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M with only 2 out of 5 for torsional rigidity. That puts the shoe on the more flexible side of the spectrum.

The heel could use a little more padding.

This is the ONLY complaint we have for the Saucony Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M. The shoe's heel is a tad bit uncomfortable and scratchy because it has minimal padding.

This is definitely due to the choice of materials because the heel counter itself is very soft, it scored 2/5 on our flexibility tests (5 being the stiffest). 

Their recommendation? Wearing thicker socks is a must. As well as carrying a couple of bandaids.

Midsole width - forefoot

We also found that the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M runs slightly narrow in its platform.

The widest part of the forefoot turns out to be 111.5 mm, 1.5 mm narrower than average. But the good news is that it's not so critical and the brand did its homework to improve the 3rd iteration.

The Speed 3 is proof that Saucony really listens to runners' feedback. In the past, the Endorphin Speed's weak point was its lack of heel stability.

But this model changes all this. Based on our caliper measurements, the shoe's base has been widened by 5 mm in the heel.

Flexibility / Stiffness

As our manual flexibility test shows, the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M leans toward the flexible side. But let’s see what the lab numbers say. In this test, we bend the shoe to a 30-degree angle with our custom-made machine to measure the force required.

Turns out, this Saucony model only needs 10.5N—far below the average for road shoes. It also confirms that the nylon plate in the midsole is noticeably more forgiving than a carbon one.

Durability

Amarillo hardness

As a speed-oriented shoe, it is expected that the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M cuts corners on the Amarillo's durability.

Not only do we see less rubber at the bottom, but we also found it to be softer than average with he help of a durometer.

If you don't mind sacrificing 0.6 oz of weight in return for a sturdier Amarillo, we can highly recommend the Zapatillas Infantiles Saucony Peregrine 11 Shield tempo trainer.

Misc

Grip / Traction

The Amarillo has plenty of traction and plenty of durability too! We felt safe at all times, even on wet asphalt passages. And during fast corners, the grip doesn't compromise.

Tongue padding

There is also a moderate amount of tongue padding - 3.9 mm, based on our caliper measurement. It is 2 mm thinner than the average but is just perfect for a tempo shoe.

Saucony Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 Jaune Taille 39 M vs. 2

This version of the Endorphin Speed doesn't go through a lot of changes, which is why runners continue to rave about it. It has minor touch-ups, which make it an even better version: 

  • The wider toebox and thinner, stretchier upper for a more precise fit and a breathable running experience 
  • More stability in the forefoot and heel because of the widened base 
  • A new plate for a snappier toe-off
  • Stripped-down heel padding to minimize the bulk as much as possible
