I’ve been a fan of the Endorphin Pro since Molly Seidel made the U.S. Olympic team at Atlanta’s Marathon Trials. Since then, my stanning for both Seidel—now a Puma athlete—and the Pro hasn’t wavered.
The Pro 2 was basically the same as the original version but, as a teaser between the second and third iterations, Saucony released the limited-edition Pro+ (the upper was built like a track spike). The shoe was ultralight and had me less than two minutes away from cracking three hours at the 2021 Boston Marathon. Its follow-up, the Pro 3, hits the sweet spot weight-wise: It’s lighter than the Pro 2 and just a smidge heavier than the Pro+. Weight savings partially come from sizable perforated holes in the tongue and a thinner outsole. And its look? Let’s just say Saucony saucony liteform escape.
Highest Stack Height Yet
I was wary of the shoe’s beefiness. The Pro 3 has the thickest stack yet—39.5mm under the wearing (nudging right up to the allowable limit under World Athletics rules). Despite the towering platform, that bouncy, propulsive sensation I loved in previous models is still there, thanks to the carbon-fiber plate and Pwrrun PB midsole. It feels even springier now. Consistent with my Pro+ experience, this shoe begs that you go fast. It was a footwear contender for my break-three race.
The Speed, by comparison, is the training shoe counterpart with the same Speedroll tech and Pwrrun PB midsole. It has a winged nylon plate, an improvement on the Speed 2. Testers who ran in both versions noted how the second iteration felt unstable; the wings in the Speed 3 lend the balance its predecessor was missing.
“I was impressed with this redesign,” said one tester who trains in the Brooks Launch but laces up the Endorphin Speed on race day. “These felt much more stable. The Speed 2 had a little more wobble in the wearing and through the midfoot.”
While the aggressive Pro 3 is more my preference, testers appreciated the Speed 3’s versatility across workouts. “The nylon plate is not as harsh as carbon, so I felt like I was getting a firm ride without killing my feet,” said another tester. “I wore it for almost every type of run: slow recovery runs, long training runs, and even for a five-mile race.”

“This shoe is perfect for marathons and long runs because it is beyond comfortable. That is where the shoe absolutely crushed it, and I typically don’t love super-navy shoes. However, when compared to other racing shoes—like the New Balance Saucony Grid 8000 "Light Tan" Nike Alphafly—the Endorphin Pro 3 felt slower. Speed comes at a price. The Nike Alphafly, for example, sacrifices some comfort for pure speed; the comfier Pro 3s help you run fast, but you don’t feel the same instant energy return. I elite the Pro 3, RC Elite, and Alphafly are on about the same level, but they are each a different shoe along the spectrum. Meaning, I would want one shoe for longer runs and another for something shorter and faster. The Pro 3 does wonders for me when my feet or legs are hurting and want a slight boost, but I wouldn’t pick it as the absolute fastest option.”

“Despite its lightweight, this shoe is VERY navy. Running felt lighter. Strides felt bouncier. In comparison to the Brooks Ghost 13, these shoes better supported my wearings and arches. The Speed 3’s water resistance, however, could be improved. I wore them running in the rain a few times and they got soaked. Also, the sockliner sat too low inside the shoe for my foot. It caused blisters until I fully broke in the shoe.”
