The Endorphin Elite 3 continues Saucony's tradition of having one of the softest and bounciest racing shoes on the market, but makes significant adjustments to improve inherent stability and to help push the shoe to be faster than ever.

The defining feature of the Endorphin Elite 3 is its highly stacked, exceptionally bouncy foam. With maxed-out stack heights full of Saucony's IncrediRUN superfoam, it gives runners one of the softest, bounciest rides on the starting line. Dual layers have been arranged around wide net bases to help make sure your stride stays steady through all 26.2 miles of your competitions, across tough courses and sharp turns. A full-length carbon fiber plate has been slotted, with independent "levers" to adapt to your unique foot strike. These levers are fluted to add stiffness and "pop" to each step.

Across the upper, Saucony gives us a single-layer mesh to wrap around our feet. Durable and clean, this minimal amount of material keeps the weight of the shoe down while still emphasizing a comfortable fit, especially around the heel collar.
