A “Run Like Heller” hammer? I love it! 😂 What an unboxing. I appreciate your honesty in this review. It definitely looks wild, but I definitely think I’d lean towards trying the Pro 3 over this one.
Great vid! As much as I like the looks and trying out the new tech from Saucony, I think this is where I draw the line because of the price. The Pro3 was a tough one already but I still pulled the trigger on those (no regrets!). Need to remind myself that this Endorphin Elite is for Elites (elite runners and elite buyers).
The Elite team don't buy the shoes. When I was in the running club we got Asics for free (always to small size by half a size) and free Nike ones for testing I actually tested the Tailwind. It was terrible. At the tide Adidas Marathon Trainer was my favourite.
Emily this is the best review I’ve seen of this shoe so far! I love the way the package and the hammer came out way on top of the shoe 😂 Open honest with a hint of 🤷🏼♂️ It seems in spite of the hype first impressions of the shoe have fallen a tad flat which will probably bring a wry smile to those who love the rival ‘Swoosh’ machine! Enjoy putting pictures up and generally fixing things around the house with your new green friend ! Ian 🇬🇧
Not just the Swoosh fans, but runners who already love the ASICS Sky or Edge+, adidas’ competitive offering, or Saucony’s Pro3-and I’m sure others. There are elites running and reaching podiums in shoes besides Nike’s these days.
Good review. I think that the name says it all. Speed is for speed.. Pro is for the Pro who is not Elite and Elite is for the Elite which we are not 🙄. Interesting that you also had metatarsal hot spot in the Nimbus 24 🤔
And we are back! Best unboxing I have seen in a long time..and not only I have watched a ton of sneaker unboxing but I watched the others that sock-a-knee sent the elite to. Excellent video and first impression. Love the running footage. And I agree. I would be surprised if you picked this as your marathon shoe. Shoe looks badass though! You go Emily!
Interesting that these companies know who you are and obviously watch a lot of UA-cam reviewers. Michael Ko had Kofuzi written on his hammer. You are in the major leagues now Emily, your hammer deserves a spot on your wall!
I love that the gusset is outside of the shoe! Saucony shoes are great, but I always have to cut their gusset out of the shoe or it rubs my plantar and makes my PF flare up.
i have high instep and i also cut their gusset or the top pressure gives me tingly feet on shorter runs and numb on long runs. i like the idea of gusseted tongue but simply doesn't work for me
the only thing saucony missed was the dry ice, to create that fog effect. I bet someone in the room was trying figure out a way to get that done, before they had to scrap it. Another great video.., keep up the great work
Saucony has the social media thingy nailed. Good review, appreciate the honest opinions. This seems to be targeted towards the Alphafly market, looks like a contender for the pro's. 🇨🇦
Love the honest unboxing. 😂 Thanks for the overpronator comment as I overpronate on right foot and just switched from stability shoes to neutral (Saucony Speed 3 for recent Houston marathon). Nike Alphafly and Vaporfly are too narrow for my pudgy feet so I am hoping this (or Pro 3) will be a better fit.
Wasteful packaging just for a shoe,hopefully it was done just for a few shoetubers. A good and honest review. Peeps need to wait to cop these until they're discounted,that price is wild
Yep - the Endorphin Elite is too much of a shoe for us mere weekend running warriors, when other options are more accessible and work much better as far as confort, performance & cost. Apart from that, I do love how Saucony is pushing forward with their designs, with innovating materials & configurations - perhaps the Elite may need some adjustments here & there but given the brand is recently getting into the Professional Elite category of road running, they're delivering. great review 💯
Thanks for the honest review. That was the best shoe unboxing i have ever seen, good job Saucony! I got Pro 3 for around 200 €. I haven't raced in it yet, but from the workout i did, im pretty happy with it. Saucony Endorphin line works best for my foot type, no issues. Cant wait for spring to take them out for a run again! But for now SES Runshield will be just fine 😀
That packaging was really cool. Pretty awesome of them to send it. I really like their shoes. It's just the fit of the upper that drives me crazy. Sounds like we have similar experiences. But, it makes sense. Saving 2 seconds over a marathon isn't gonna affect my career. I can sacrifice speed for comfort.
At that price point, certainly its only competitor is the Alphafly 2 from Nike and I read from some that they prefer the Endorphin Elite over the Alphafly 2 as it’s more bouncy and less firm.
Thanks for sharing your in-depth information and honest feelings about this shoe. Yeah, that is what I had imagined in my head when the hype for these shoes started on social media. Super cool appearance with interesting tech involved, but NOT for me who's in search of plush, comfy, cushiony, high stacked shoes for daily training. Lol.... Again, thanks so much for your trustworthy opinions!!!
Thank you for the review. Your review along with others convinced me that getting the Pro 3 is my next marathon shoe. Have you run in the NB SC Elite v3? Can you compare the Endorphin Pro 3 and SC Elite 3? Those are in my price range. I used the RC Elite v2 for my 2021 marathon and loved it, but wanted something just as comfy but maybe just a little more poppy. Just curious.
La función de la placa en verdad no es correr más duro , es ahorro de energía en cada zancada y mantener por más tiempo la candecia (tempo), en cada milla recorrida hace que la placa te impulse para poder mantener ritmos por más tiempo !!
Un ejemplo si antes mantenías un ritmo de 7:00 minutos por milla por dos millas en un 10k, ahora con el ahorro de energía y impulso de la placa podrías subir quizás tres millas a determinado ritmo sin sufrir el agotamiento de moverte tirando más pasos para buscar velocidad, no candencia !!
Ninguna zapatilla de carbono vas ser que te muevas a velocidades que nunca has registrado , solo ayuda a mantener los ritmos por más tiempo ⏱️, el ahorro trae consigo mayor resistencia a los ritmos que tu condición pueda aguantar !!
My Spanish isn’t good enough that I want to answer in Spanish, but at least half of the function of the plate is to stabilize the very soft, bouncy, high stack of midsole foam. This has been proven in studies. Yes, the plate gives some propulsion in toe-off but to varying degrees depending on the weight, speed and strength of the runner and how much they load it. Without the plate, most of the foams used in the midsoles of these “super shoes” would be dangerously unstable.
Hey Emily, anther awesome vlog. I was wondering how many miles you generally put on a shoe prior to doing your review. You may of mentioned it in a past vlog, I was just wondering. Thanks and keep those informative vlogs coming, they are really insightful...have a great week.
Congratulations Emily! You made it and received a personalized hammer, recognizing the success of your channel! 👏 I have to give it to Saucony. Their marketing department knows how to create a buzz around the product. It was neat! But thanks for being honest. The upper seems to have issues. Kofuzi got bloodied by it! I personally think this is one super shoe that it too "Elite" for me and price is up there with Alphafly! The shoe is designed to give the edge for elite and sub-elite the performance in a race. I am far from that. I will stick to Endorphin Pro 3 which I like a lot and I got it on a deal ($136) on Amazon (short time deal on Saucony Amazon store for the pink colorway). It is hard to beat that price.
Thank you for a fun and forthright review of the Saucony Endorphin Elite. I really enjoyed the whole video. Hopefully no one was impaled by splinters. One of the reasons I bought the Alphafly (1 and then 2) was that they were race-proven. In other words, I waited a while before buying those expensive shoes. I think I must apply the same rule with the Endorphin Elite. I want to see how folks fare in these shoes over time. Also, my Alphafly 2 shoes still have some miles in them; I cannot easily toss them aside because of the investment I have in them.
Can't understand why such a packaging and these positive comments. We do a sport for the love of nature, not for cutting a tree for a smart packaging. Although the worst is this hammer...that will end in a garbage...
I agree about excessive packaging in general, but why would anyone throw away the hammer? I hope this packaging just goes to the reviewers…I suspect purchases will just get the shoebox.
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 If you don't have a hammer at home, maybe you don't need it. And if you already had one, well it will be another one that will sleep in the toolbox. 25% of our environmental footprint is made of what we buy. If a unused hammer can be save, it will be part of the job to reduce this.
@ColdMamba78 Oh really! Well, in that case, you shouldn't be watching this video. By watching this video, you're omitting greenhouse gases, and you are also contributing to the world's carbon footprint.
@@jefreywith1f924 I like to believe that I have more impact by trying to make people questionning about habits compare to be out of social network. However I have drasticly reduced my network activity. Of course this packaging can be seen as a drop of water, but I think it is a bad signal that the awarness. I prefer to promote Adidas which aims to reach 100% recycled products.
Hi RLH. Please warn your viewers as someone has been posting fake prizes on your channel. See a reply from my previous post on this video. Hope this helps.✌🏻
The pro 3 is more for everybody and the elite is More for sub 3 hour marathoner! And for race only the outsole durability is not good and very expensive! Is much better the Adios Pro 3 less expensive, more cushioning, more durable a more versatile.
You actually run very well in this shoe. The harder midsole seems to work well with you.

Thanks for the video - note Kafuzi had a blood stain from the toe rubbing ( through socks)
Training for first marathon - gonna go with the pro 3’s
This is the best unboxing video. Thanks for the content Emily 🙂
Honesty is the best policy and thanks for that Emily. Have a great week. (Hi Ruby!)
Great honest first take! I like my Pro 3s and they’ve never hurt me. Fast for racing and workouts. But I do want that hammer! Can’t touch that!😂
I am a huge unboxing fan and this is the best one ever. No one wants to see a boring unboxing! And, thanks for your honest review
Thank you!!!

Also, I was a little jealous of your sunny weather. The sun is not exactly a frequent visitor in western NY during January.

Excellent and honest review. Loved the Mrs lending a hand.
thanks for another nice review. I will stay with the Pro 3
Loved the video! Dramatic, comedic, and informative.......all in a span of 15 minutes :D

What a great hammer! Thanks for the review.
This was the best unboxing of that shoe. Personally, I love the shoe. I'm using it for a 10k on Saturday.
It’s definitely a cool shoe. Could absolutely see using it for a 10k. I’ll be seeing you in San Luis Obispo!

Designed for someone like Parker Stinson running 4:45 pace. I'd do better with a pair of Takumi Sens 8s for $80

At least you are holding the hammer by the right end, i've seen "engineers" that could not.

@@RunLikeHeller Awesome! Thanks!
Saucony is giving you the strategy to win a race: A hammer and the slogan “Sock-A-Knee”!
Time to get the endorphin pro 3 in sale 😁
Super cool unboxing. That hammer deserves a spot in the wall!
Don't discard the hammer, it's to eliminate the competition in races.
Just got them , my first shower with them was sub 3 hr.
I'm just a 9 minute mile heal striker. Would make no difference to my running and 275 dollars. ER....Its a no from me ❤️✌️🏴
Irritating top of the toes... some other reviews saying the same.
Have 2 pairs of Endorphin Pro 3's.
That I love. Be a while before I switch.
Congratulations Emily! You made it and received a personalized hammer, recognizing the success of your channel! 👏

"Knit-Mesh"? Can it be both? 🙂
Step 1. Please sign injury waiver.😉
Soooo cool!!
Nailed it. Not worth it. Good review.
“Nailed it” --I guess she used the hammer!
Great review what color is coming in April? Also hi inspecter 1 ruby crate secure :)
Not sure I’m allowed to say but it’s more a neutral color with a few pops of brighter colors
@Run Like Heller thanks so I assume it's not a blue or black color. It's fine if you can't say I'll wait. But great review also like seeing ruby
Glad it won’t be hot pink….think OG Vaporfly’s which got me really sick of seeing a sea of those two colors at races😂
incredible . do you want a promo?.goodbye-Run!
I can’t get behind $275. That’s insane. Otherwise, awesome review :)
Thank inflation and west's proxy war in Ukraine.
