Superb!

The Shift 3 RunShield is the water- and winter-ready version of Saucony’s max-cushioned workhorse. Hailing from the much-revered Endorphin line, this daily trainer can not only chug through the bulk of your miles with ease, it also packs a punch to get through some extra speedwork on the side. And thanks to harsh-weather protection, this runner ensures gives you that endorphin fix—even if the gray skies tell you otherwise.

The Endorphin Shift 3 RunShield features an upper made of—you guessed it—Saucony’s RunShield material. While this worked perfectly fine in most of their shoes, reviewers found that its implementation in the Shift 3 was a bit of a miss.

One expert detailed that while the material can indeed keep moisture out, the fact that the lining doesn’t extend to the tongue gusset made the shoe’s water resistance “underwhelming” and “much less effective.”

Another critic, however, tagged the RunShield version as “an obvious choice for the cold winter months” as it was quite effective in keeping feet warm.

Weatherized doesn’t have to mean stiff

As can be expected from a water-resistant shoe, the Endorphin Shift 3 RS forgoes breathability in favor of protection from the elements. Reviewers say that the mesh material is thicker, but has plenty of give in the midfoot and heel, allowing for a slightly wider fit.

The Shift 3 RS won’t allow your toes to shift

Testers weren’t too happy with the RunShield version’s snug-fitting forefoot. While it isn’t “2014 Hoka levels of narrow,” the shoe wore out its welcome from his cramped toes within the first hour or so.

The Shift 3 RS’ “gargantuan stack height” gives the shoe plenty of impact protection, and is “a clear advantage for a volume trainer,” wrote one reviewer. Moreover, runners said that the stability concerns brought about by its tall stack were mitigated by the relative firmness of PWRRUN foam.

The Shift 3 RunShield’s insole saves the day

“A super comfortable ride,” and “a little more cushioned than others”—surprisingly, both were comments about the supposedly firm Shift 3 RunShield. This is mostly due to the shoe’s PWRRUN+ insole, which according to reviewers, provides gentler initial landings and a generally softer feeling underfoot.

In addition to the firm cushioning, elements such as its wide base, significant sidewalls, sole flarings, and heel clips give the Shift 3 RS plenty of inherent stability.

The Endo Shift 3 RS’s aggressive rocker (or as Saucony calls it, Speedroll technology) gives it a smooth rolling ride—”forgoing any kind of bounce for a constant flow forward,” according to a runner.

Speedroll, combined with the firm midsole and the light overall weight, allows the shoe to pick up the pace for uptempo efforts. It is, however, still “too large to handle all-out speed well,” noted one expert.

For a wet-weather shoe, users were expecting a more aggressive lugged outsole underneath the Shift 3 RS. What they got, though, was a chunk of exposed midsole and some strategically placed XT-900 rubber.

While there were some who found that it got the job done on slightly slick and icy roads, others were less impressed—calling the traction “fine at best.”
