The best running shoes are always getting more expensive, but it's always worth picking up a sale on a top-of-the-line shoe from the previous generation like the Saucony Endorphin Speed.
Several stores are currently offering discounts on this shoe, but the best deal I've found on this shoe is the $50 off at Running Warehouse, which comes in a variety of sizes and colors is.
I've tested all generations of the Endorphin Speed and it continues to be one of the best men's running shoes due to its versatility.
The shoe's lightweight, rocker design and nylon plate make it perfect for fast training sessions and races, while its high cushioning makes it comfortable for easy runs.
The use of nylon plates also reduces underfoot stiffness and discomfort compared to the carbon plates of the Saucony Endorphin Pro series. Nylon plates add pop for fast runs and are more flexible and comfortable for easy runs.
I've used the Speed 3 for just about every type of run, from long, hard workouts to short, slow recovery runs, and it's always been my top priority. Saucony launched Endorphin Speed 4 earlier this year. This is a great shoe, but very similar to the Endorphin Speed 3.
The Speed 4 features a new outsole with slightly better grip in wet conditions. I found the fit of the new shoes to be a little better as I have narrow feet. It also has a new sockliner made from a more resilient material than the Speed 3 and a wider midsole for added stability, but it's also a bit heavier than the Speed 3.
Minor changes would lead me to buy the Endorphin Speed 4 for the same price, but the overall running performance of the two shoes is very similar and I would definitely buy the Speed 3 for $50 less on Running Warehouse's sale You will.
