1 / 4
We finally put a face to the new Saucony Endorphin Pro 3, which will undoubtedly be the fastest shoe to date from the company. After the success of its previous version, the fastest runners looking to move at very fast paces in competitions were eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new model. A fast running shoe that will be on sale from June 22, 2022 and that bursts onto the scene with very significant new features.
With its signature carbon fiber plate and more PWRRUN PB foam in its midsole, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 running shoes gives you more speed and reactivity underfoot to maximize your race day experience. Significant changes also in the upper area, an upper that builds on what was previously developed in the Endorphin Pro. Undoubtedly, one of the great protagonists of the year in Sauconys extensive and competitive catalog.
Saucony Endorphin Pro 3, main features
This is the latest update of the fastest racing shoe in Saucony's history. A model designed by and to beat all records and records, which also incorporates the most cutting-edge technologies of the moment.
Propulsion and reactivity to reach stratospheric speeds. Designed for those who inspire and electrify in every race, this third interaction features its signature carbon fiber plate and more PWRRUN PB foam, the result? You get more speed and reactivity underfoot to maximize your race day experience. These Endorphin Pro 3 feature technical advances throughout the shoe, including 39.5 mm thick PWRRUN PB foam in the midsole that meets World Athletics Association guidelines and gives runners the greatest possible advantage. Special mention should also be made of SPEEDROLL technology that promotes faster transitions, propelling you to beat your best times.
The upper of the Endorphin Pro 3 is based on what was previously developed in the Endorphin Pro, a very light, adaptable and breathable engineered mesh that will allow you to push yourself to the maximum in every competition. All this, of course, without renouncing to an attractive and careful design with FORMFIT technology.
The outsole of this model mounts the XT-900 rubber, a very wear resistant compound that also allows superior traction and grip at racing speeds.
Saucony Endorphin Pro 3, technical specifications
In short, a race day running shoe that is a declaration by Saucony company, and it consolidates itself as one of the fastest shoes on the market. This is the latest update of one of the most acclaimed models of the brand's award-winning Endorphin Collection. Now with an ultra-lightweight, redesigned upper and additional PWRRUN PB foam underfoot, Saucony's fastest new carbon shoe will be on display at the House of Speed, a venue that will be as eye-catching and colorful as the shoes they feature.
With an RRP of 190€, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 went on sale on June 22, 2022. As far as the technical specifications are concerned, it is worth mentioning a drop of 8mm and a weight of 204 grams for the male version and 176 grams for the female version.
Review of Saucony Endorphin Pro 3

TesterSaucony Endorphin Pro 3, higher profile, more cushioning and reactivity for the "big" day
Saucony acclaimed Endorphin saga adds a new member, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3. This is the third generation of the fastest carbon plate shoe from the American company, which we will analyze in detail in the following lines. More than 100 kilometers on our feet with them and the sensations, I can already tell you, have been very very good. A very light shoe, which despite including carbon is surprisingly comfortable, designed for those days of competition.
Before getting into the details, it is important to delimit the profile of the runner to whom these Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 running shoes are addressed. It is a racing shoe, designed specifically for the "big" day, for runners with a refined running technique and light-medium weight with some experience in this world. I had the opportunity to try the previous version and believe me, the evolution is palpable and visible both aesthetically and technologically.
They are aimed at runners with an intermediate-low weight, whose race speed is less than 4 min 15 sec/km will be the ones who will benefit the most from the performance of these Saucony Endorphin Pro 3.
These Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 completely modify their design, raise the midsole profiles and evolve the midsole configuration, the result? A model with which to experience a greater degree of comfort and dynamism at paces well below 4 min 15 sec/km. A shoe that, in short, asks you to run fast, let's take a look at the details!
What kind of runner is the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 for?
Runners with an intermediate-low weight, whose race speed is less than 4 min 15 sec/km will be the ones who will benefit the most from the performance of this model. It is true that if we reduce the speed a bit, this Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 performs wonderfully, but it is at higher paces where we can really see the potential of this model.
Like all models with carbon plate, the longer the distance (and the better our technique), the more it will help us. So it is convenient to use them in half marathon and marathon distances.
A racing shoe, optimized to help you beat your best records when the big day arrives. Make no mistake, this is a model built for fast running; there's no way around it.
Distance? The Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 covers a wide range of distances, from a 10k to a marathon. But like all carbon plate models, the longer the distance (and the better our technique), the more it will help us. So it is convenient to use them in half marathon and marathon distances.
Surely more than one will wonder, so it is not intended for training? The latest evolution of Saucony Endorphin series gives us a clear answer; the Endorphin Pro 3 for race day and the Saucony Speed 3, the mixed shoe of the range, for training.
What we liked most about the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3
I have had the opportunity to test several models of running shoes with carbon plate and despite the stiffness that characterizes these models, these Saucony have been very comfortable. This is due to the fact that this model undergoes a midsole profile increase compared to the previous version, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2, and that the product designers of the company modified the density and design of the PWRRUN PB foam.
This model undergoes a midsole profile increase compared to the previous version, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2, in order to gain in reactivity and comfort.
We note a greater presence of this foam with the aim of maximizing reactivity and speed in running. Therefore, we applaud this reconfiguration in a key section of the shoe.
Aesthetically the changes are more than noticeable. On the one hand, at the design level I like the evolution compared to its predecessor, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2, an aggressive design with that nuance that confers a rise in the profiles. I like it. However, the new mesh construction does not convince me. The product designers surprise us with the incorporation of a kind of open mesh in combination with FORMFIT technology. More ventilated and breathable yes, but, always in my opinion, to the detriment of protection and durability by the way.
The outsole of this model is made of XT-900 rubber. A compound with which I have experienced good traction and grip on different surfaces. Be careful, when it rains or the surface is wet; things change.
Possible points for improvement Saucony Endorphin Pro 3
The main handicap I see to the model is concentrated in the upper cut. As I mentioned before, this model improves in breathability and adaptability but, in my opinion, this is to the detriment of protection and durability. I don't really like this type of open mesh, but of course, there are different colors for different tastes.
The performance of the outsole on wet and slippery surfaces does have some room for improvement, especially when it comes to a fast running shoe.
