The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 is our premium race-day super shoe, built for competitive road racing at every distance. Saucony's new IncrediRUN foam delivers unmatched softness and energy return, working with a full-length slotted carbon fiber plate to create the most bouncy, propulsive ride in the Endorphin lineup.
IncrediRUN Foam: Next-generation supercritical midsole for unmatched bounce and energy return
Slotted Carbon Plate: Full-length carbon fiber plate with slotted forefoot for propulsive transitions
SPEEDROLL Geometry: Aggressive rocker shape designed for race-day speed
Lightweight Upper: TPE yarn mesh with 3D-molded heel cup for secure lockdown
Unisex Sizing: Men's sizes shown — women should order 1.5 sizes below standard running size
Length: Most sources say it runs short; a half size up is the safer call for marathon distance, though some testers fit it true to size
Width and toebox: A narrow, low-volume toebox that tapers sharply, made tighter by a stiff toe bumper, restricting toe splay. Standard width only, and it is unisex sized, so women order well below their usual women's size.
Fit notes: Lockdown is good once laced despite a soft, flexible heel with no rigid counter, and volume is normal from the midfoot back. The stretchy integrated tongue needs careful lacing to avoid instep pressure. Do not run sockless because of the harsh toe guard.
