Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield

Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield Key Features

No more excuses to train on those cold winter days with the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield. We have here a mixed shoe model that incorporates a waterproof membrane to prevent water from entering and maintain the temperature of the foot at all times.

The rest of the arguments of this running shoe remain the same as its standard version. Endorphin Speed 3 are probably one of the most versatile and dynamic shoes on the market today. A very comfortable, reactive and lightweight model that allows you to train at a leisurely pace but also to step on the accelerator and run at breakneck speeds without feeling your foot sinking with each stride.

Ideal Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield runner

Although this Saucony model responds well across a wide spectrum of running paces, they are targeted at light to medium weight runners, approximately up to 75-80kg for men and 65-70kg for women. What makes this shoe great is its versatility, as it is possible to look for your best time in a 10k, but it is also an excellent choice for running a marathon between the 2:45h and 3:15h. Therefore, we can say that although we can run at easy paces, they are at their best under 4:30 min/km approximately.

We must keep in mind that this is a model for running in cold climates, especially in winter or when the night temperature is very low. Therefore,runners who train in notably cold areas will find these Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield to be one of their favorite models.

Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield Technical Specifications

One of the best kept secrets of this model is its nylon plate that houses the midsole. An âSâ shaped plate that is less demanding than the carbon plate on the tread, but gives areally surprising result. The plate, combined with the latest generation PWRRUNPB lightweight foam, offers incredible levels of cushioning and responsiveness in the race.

SPEEDROLL technology is another of the Endorphin Speed 3's weapons, a geometry that promotes a smoother, more fluid, reactive and efficient transition. In other words, running with this shoe is a pleasure for the foot and a reason to keep pushing stride after stride.

The main difference compared to its sister, the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3, is the waterproof RUNSHIELD membrane that prevents the entry of water and other elements that can appear on cold and rainy days such as mud and snow. The American company has managed to develop a very thin and breathable mesh, which hardly affects the weight of the shoe and allows the foot to breathe properly.

Just by introducing the foot, you can see how this model is very pleasant, a sensation that is maintained when we start to take the first strides. The FORMFIT design gathers the foot in a very efficient way, showing a very good fit adapted to the morphology of each foot. Both the instep and heel area provide a great feeling of comfort to ride without worrying about possible discomfort or chafing.

The sole of the Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield is the same as the version without membrane, a rubber compound XT-900 thatperforms very well on both dry and wet asphalt. It may not be the best model for running on gravel or dirt, but they were born to run long and fast on asphalt, both in training and competition.

Despite incorporating the Runshield membrane, they weigh 229 grams in the men's version and 204 grams in the women's version. They are really light. With a drop of 8mm and manufactured in part with recycled and vegan materials, we can say that few waterproof models on the market can approach the quality and performance of these Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Runshield,
