Incredirun rules!
Great shoe! I use this shoe for my recovery distance days. I go to this shoe when my legs are tired and sore from the previous days run. No bad runs yet in this shoe, always a smooth, relaxing ride. The first few runs did take some time to get used to the shoe, but the new foam is awesome.

Clomp, clomp, clomp, like a 2 legged horse
After all the negative reviews, I went ahead and bought a pair. Im having buyers remorse after around 20 miles so far. The shoes are a bit heavier and clunky, not the mention the constant thumping sound these shoes make. At faster tempo runs the seem to handle fine, but slow easy runs feel sluggish and almost painful. The fit is fantastic, my daily before these were ride 17s and 18s which the ride 18 is a great all around shoe. Overall, I'll keep breaking them in, but Im still on the fence.

My new daily ride
Step into clouds and enjoy your easy runs with effortless comfort. The Endorphin Trainers support a memory foam like ride that allow for deep relaxation and maximum support. Definitely going to be my new easy shoe moving forward, replacing the HOKA Clifton series in my lineup.

Great concept, poor execution
bit of a mess, but would like to see saucony to continue to refine this shoe because the category is desired - maybe you can combine incredirun with some other stabilization concepts like wider platform but make the shoe ultra light. I'm definitely addicted to the elite 2 but the trainer is a big missed opportunity. wait for future versions

Great Cushion for Everyday Training
The new Endorphin Trainers are definitely a more cushion-forward hybrid of the Endorphin Speeds with a nice balance of speed and support. These have a denser cushion while still giving that rolling feel on each step from the 3/4 inch carbon fiber plate. I definitely felt them slap the ground a bit more on my mid strike, but that probably is from the extra weight (almost 50g extra). Not at all a complaint, but just an observation worth noting if you’re looking for a lighter faster shoe. I plan to grab for these on easy days and tempo days to help avoid injury during high mileage weeks. While I think I still prefer the Endorphin Speed overall for the extra boost (especially on interval and rep days), these are a great for the extra cushion to decrease impact and avoid injury! Great Shoe: 9/10
