FAQs

Who is the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 designed for?

This shoe is designed for competitive adult road runners looking for a shoe to maximize performance on race day.

What is the main benefit of the carbon fiber plate?

The full-length slotted carbon fiber plate provides a smooth underfoot transition and a propulsive, energetic feel that helps you maintain speed.

Is the IncrediRUN foam more responsive than previous Saucony foams?

Yes, the description states it is Saucony's most innovative and responsive foam ever, delivering unmatched energy return and cushioning.

What is the weight of the Endorphin Elite 2?

The shoe weighs 199 grams, making it very lightweight for a race-day shoe.

Can I use these shoes for everyday training?

While possible, they are optimized for race day. Their aggressive design may lead to faster wear and tear if used for all training runs. It's best to reserve them for key races and specific speed workouts.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

What type of surface are these shoes best suited for?

They are designed for asphalt road running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff

The Endorphin Elite 2 is designed with a stiff carbon plate for propulsive energy return. Try wearing them for a few shorter, faster runs to break them in. Ensure they are laced appropriately for your foot shape.

Discomfort during long runs

Verify that you have the correct size and width. Consider using race-specific socks. If discomfort persists, these shoes might not be suited for your specific foot mechanics or longest race distances.

Reduced responsiveness over time

The foam cushioning can degrade with excessive mileage or improper care. Stick to using these primarily for races and speed sessions to preserve the responsiveness of the IncrediRUN foam and carbon plate.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no special setup beyond ensuring they fit correctly. Lace them up snugly, but avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow and comfort. The design is intended for immediate use upon lacing.

Compatibility: The Endorphin Elite 2 is a neutral shoe, compatible with most adult runners whose biomechanics do not require specific pronation support. They are designed for road running surfaces.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It's recommended to store them unlaced or loosely laced to allow air circulation and help maintain their shape.
