SAUCONY ENDORPHIN EDGE First Run & First Impressions | Best Trail Running Shoes | Run4Adventure

Saucony Endorphin Edge first run and first impressions review.
It's finally here, the super-hyped and very exciting Endorphin Edge from Saucony! This is the brand's first attempt to make a deeply cushioned, carbon plated trail running shoe. I've always been a massive fan of the Endorphin road shoe line up but I was left a little bit disappointed when I tested and reviewed the Endorphin Trail. With a £200 price point I was expecting very good things from this shoe, so we laced them up and took them out on a very challenging 12 mile run to give them a thorough testing.
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

    Great first run video Loyd! Looks like a great shoe! Nice to see some bright colours in the mens colourway! I'm absolutely loving saucony at the moment! Shame about the price it's definitely steep! But hopefully I'll get to try them in a future sale! You really do run in a very beautiful place! I love getting to the peak district for a run! Cornwall is a little bit too far but if I'm ever that way I'll definitely be running in some of your locations

    That colour is fly! Good on saucony for breaking the mould of 'men colours'. Also, fun fact, way back when some eejit decided that little boys and girls needed dedicated colours, pink was the 'boy colour' and light blue the 'girl colour' - because of how harsh and aggressive pink can be.

    Two great first reviews of the Xodus Ultra and Endorphin Edge. After the Xodus review I thought that was the shoe for me but now I am really torn between the Xodus and the Edge. I run a mix of terrain here on the IOW, so if cost wasn’t an issue what would you recommend.

    I really want to try this shoe but it’s release is too late in the trail season for me - so maybe next year. The power run PB really helps reduce leg fatigue on the road - trails are a different beast (need to be strong anyway) but maybe it helps a bit?

    It's always very personal when it comes to running shoes Alex. I've run a lot of miles in deeply cushioned trail shoes on a big mix of different terrains. I'm use to having a deep level of cushioning under my foot when I'm running on technical ground. It would be interesting to know what the back ground is of the other reviewers that are saying it felt unstable? Its definitely one of the most deeply cushioned trail shoes I've run in 👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

But, I do think they are more into Salmon and less cushion type shoe which would play a big factor in their review. I too struggle with trying deep cushioned shoes. I never feel stable and roll my ankles quite a bit with these type shoes. I really try to like them but my body never quite agrees lol. Great channel, I love your content!
