Saucony Endorphin SHIFT worth the $$$?

[@joshuagwilliam4462]

QD: 5k PB today Seth!! 16:31 🤩🙌🏻

[@andreafonsodacruzgarcia55]

Wow that is amazing ! Well done :D My first attempt ever at 5k was exactly a month ago, ended up at 19m20sec :-) Next Monday I will do it again, aiming for 18m30sec now that I know how hard it is to keep the pace till the end :p

[@jonasconner1972]

Great!!

[@tmcowley]

What a beast!

[@JeremyBenfield]

Nice!

[@Discomattisace]

The shift definitely takes time to bed in. I was shocked at the firmness on the first run especially after wearing the Novablast previously, but now its really softening and becoming very responsive and bouncy. Fit for my wide feet is brilliant and the added stability is a bonus for me.

[@joellen5984]

Same experience for me. Originally I was not too impressed. It has indeed gotten better - the fit is excellent for wider feet and I like the TPU heel collar for that stability. In contrast the Clifton 7 (tried on only in store) was incredibly narrow and I sunk in too much. I prefer the Shift.

[@mobylife16]

Hey Seth! Great video 🤩 But Ive been noticing that you are skipping your summary from the run more and more often. Im not sure why, but I really enjoyed watching what you run, bc I like your training philosophy and would love to see more from the training-side again. But understand you have a lot of running-shoes to showcase atm 😂 but just a "10 miles 7.45 a mile today" would be enough for me. Keep up the great work. Been with this channel since 12k subs and man, what a journey! Cheers from Oslo 🥰🥰

[@steveprefontaine9297]

Great job with these reviews no one else is doing it like this this is perfect

[@at7512]

Did an easy 8km today in South Africa's wine country.... beautiful views and stuck to the soft trails.. and the dog loved it too..😀

[@jamesharrell4131]

Hey Seth, one thing I love about Saucony is the extra support(like the heel counter) they give the runner in some of their shoes. Some of us aren’t as experienced and appreciate that little extra help more than being slightly lighter weight.

[@phl0w666]

QD: With temperatures now in the upper 30s pretty much all day long (39°C today), even my easy runs are quite taxing on the body. When it's that hot my avg. HR is about 15-20 bpm higher at my easy pace than usual, which makes it quite hard to gauge effort and not overdo it on easy days.

[@jono2154]

Running in South Africa...always a beautiful run. We have taxis that we contend with for the road. Think they aim for us when we run. Got clipped by one. Always good fun!

[@ricodelavega4511]

sometimes its the runner being daring as well. I admit on good runs, many times I wont stop my run at an intersection and try really hard to run right through it, even dodging cars. Some of us become madmen when running. I watch this running y-tube from tijuana where they mostly film runs along the side of a highway. It will make you wince seeing fast cars whizz by.

[@ocrben]

Taxis down there are insane! We spent 2 months in South Africa at the beginning of the year. Beautiful place but I couldn't get over all the runners on the shoulder of the busy highways!

[@jono2154]

@@ocrben True....we try to find quiet roads, but quiet roads make us easy targets for crime. So we take the busy roads on ;)

[@andypcguy1]

I've never tried Saucony shoes but your latest vids have me wanting to give them a shot. My current rotation is a Brooks Launch, Nike Pegusus and the Hoka Clifton. All three need replacing, I'm at 700+ on each doing about 60miles a week.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

13th 😃🙌🏼 Make it a great day everyone!

[@alexbulat6572]

Seth James DeMoor your matrix vlog is catching on, I see other KZbinrs now showing their shoe rotation and how to build it yourself

[@brandonpelkey4802]

I'm 149 pounds, 5'6 for height, and run xc in college. would you say the shift would be better for my legs health-wise for long runs, like 15 miles for example? I'd say more of built xc runner than most. I'm very interested in the shift.

[@Nonixification]

About the midsoles: When I got my Zoom Fly 3 it was not soft, after couple of hundreds of km it was better and better. Btw that shoe is over 1100 km now and better than when it was new. Most underrated shoe of 2019.

[@AlexM-hm2wb]

I had the same thing with those shoes

[@ocrben]

Agreed

[@pereiraplaza222]

I had the same with the Brooks Adrenaline 21 GTS

[@oskie501]

Love my Endorphin Shifts. Great ride and I don't notice the weight.

[@Gsjidxhj]

I'm a tough big guy. So I love it.

[@sagnikbhattacharya482]

Ran for 40 mins for the first time after PF injury almost 4 months ago!!!

[@andrewparker5800]

I'm really enjoying running in the Shifts, and I'm a lightweight. I think the Speedroll Technology combats the weight penalty on longer runs, though 18 miles is my longest effort in them so far.

[@waleedseyadi9412]

Is this shoe good for daily running?

[@julienb.4309]

"Tuesday True Love", always so refreshing !

[@RockySucre5]

QD: I always watch your daily vlog when I first wake up. My run yesterday though was 11 miles and nothing different than usual. 1 week ago though, I ran into Olympian Jared Ward on my run!

[@nafismudhofar]

Nice and comprehensive review. I will be back on track after a long looong time hiatus from training for marathon. I need a pair of shoes that safe and light for my starter and Saucony Endorphin Shift caught on my eye at the first place. It looks so soft built quality and springy, and obviously: suitable for tropical weather here, in Indonesia. Thank you 🙂

[@amandalucas79]

We’ve been having a terrible summer for weather so far, tons of rain and storms and temps barely above 20 C, and now this week we’re at 30C! It’s luckily an easy week in my plan, just an easy recovery run today which is all I can manage in this heat.

[@robdonchez]

How would you compare the Endorphin Shift to the Triumph?

[@simonfinch9179]

Seven and a half miles today, trail run. Nice and early, nice and sunny, perfect running temperature (not hot and not cold), and nobody else out= a very enjoyable run! 😊🏃😊

[@arlandirkson6024]

It's pretty hot and humid out here in Montreal, so I'm about ready for some more forgiving conditions. Always good to get out the door and start the day with a run though! Started the running week with a 12km fartlek along a canal connected to the St. Lawrence river, more commonly known as "the old port".

[@superj967]

QD: Day 3 of recovery. 33 miles Saturday has me sore and hurting 🤠🇺🇸👍

[@will-eagle1975]

I love the color scheme of the outsole

[@adamryan5538]

Just ordered these today, relieved to see you gave then a positive review!

[@KolbyKennington]

These look sweet! I definitely need some new shoes and have always been a saucony fan🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

[@marielledevaal6029]

QD: just did an 8k bopping along run and it felt great I really love the Reebok floatride energy 2 so far!

[@seandunlap1743]

Saucony Ride FTW- been in them for a decade now!

[@bryanobarr2857]

After a week of riding the bike the doctor examined my x ray and said I didn’t have a stress fracture so I got in a nice 5 miler today just to get back into it. Hope all is well with you Gs

[@coreyjoyner1372]

QD: wokeup a little out of it. Had Alternation run. 2mi, 6x 3min a GHMP (6:45) + 2min EZ, and closed with 1.5 miles. Hit all my paces but this Florida humidity and dew pointn this morning made this run tough. Got it done though! Butter My Bread!

[@Catofsteel]

I think Saucony is one of those brands not so popular or famous, that are always below the radar, but with amazing products. Unfortunately if you live in Mexico or Latinamerica, is not get its products. Great video by the way!

[@CharlZard19]

2:25 that subtle Saucony shift though😉

[@owenschroeder7041]

QD: a nice easy 4 mile with the boys. I couldn’t catch a ride there so I got an extra 2 miles at the beginning to where we were meeting. We had to add a hill at the end to finish the run.

[@lukesherwin4137]

Easy 6 miles. Humidity is chokingly bad here in Michigan, and therefore felt I couldn’t breathe very good so my HR was a little beyond my average for the pace I was running at. In my Clifton 6’s, solid as always.

[@crazedrunner2615]

I love this shoe! I bought it after watching your video. Keep up the good work!

[@marrunslow3815]

Great review!! Fargo marathon was canceled yesterday. Three of my races have been canceled in the last week. Running motivation waning... help!

[@Friscgiantsfan]

Trying to take it easy this week on running. I usually do about 30-40 miles a week and am going to try and keep it around 20 this week due to a much-needed camping trip!

[@wastelander1015]

QD: went to the physiotherapist to start correcting my right knee tendency to collapse inwards during my runs. Did one hour exercises drill for glute strengthening and foot mobility. Loved it.

[@alexanders4911]

great review man! im US 11 in the kinvara 11, should i pick the same size in the shift? and how would you compare these babies to kinvara 11?? final question; how do they cope with speed at sub 6 min per mile?

[@byebrows9698]

These aren’t the sub 6 minute type shoe, they’re for slower easy days. Kinvara 11 or Speeds for sub 6.

[@thomasregenauer8638]

This is a great review Seth. You describe the characteristics of the shoe well and the type of runner it could appeal to. I have the shift and enjoy the firmer cushioning though it is still soft but not 'mushy' underfoot. The rocker tech works well also. I just purchased a second pair on discount as the Shift 2 comes out in July 21 (with a redesigned heel counter).

[@michaelkrausz3292]

Just got these and went for my first run in them. These are Big Fella shoes! At 6'2 and 300 lbs i appreciate a big stack and lots of squish. These don't squish as much as Bondis but they are faster!!

[@AgentChaosMeme]

Qd: few miles warm up. Hills interval and cruise home. 11 miles total this morning.

[@treygoode2095]

4 easy miles in the hot humidity of Charleston in my Ride 13s - loving them in rotation with the Speeds!

[@windmill85]

Love the content! Is this the shoe you recommend for larger runners? I’m a weight lifter and weigh about 210 lbs. I’ve been getting into running and running about 20 miles/week. Maybe you can do a video on what you recommend for bigger runners? Thanks again!

[@randomperson4513]

Would you recommend this or the Pegasus 37 if you had to choose between the two?

[@jefflichosik9568]

Morning from Wisconsin👍

[@DannyPimienta]

Ran the local trails....run felt kinda off and didn't really push it but when my run uploaded I saw I ran a faster than normal pace despite feeling less labored.

[@justinpaynter3140]

I got to try out the Novablast this morning for my 6 mile easy run. It was a late start for me at 6am. It was hot and humid but I got to see a snake on the road.

[@johnalessi6004]

What’s the best shoe for a forefoot runner with old knee injuries..? I’m having trouble finding a good cushioned shoe for a forefoot runner.

[@paultimothyL]

QD: Ran a 3.7k trail loop 6 times this morn and really enjoyed it. Had a hard fall at 14k from a root I'm guessing. Just a little trail rash, but continued on and enjoyed all 23km with 400m of elevation gain 😁

[@RandolphRunningClub]

QD: My run today was an interval run and it was pretty hard since I got up late and ran in the sun haha. But all things considered, it was nice to see that I could maintain my pacing even on tired legs and it being warmer than I'm used to!

[@134hdji5]

Seth, are the Skechers shoes the max road 4+/razor 3+, ??

[@davidmartini2757]

QD: 16km tempo run at 4:13/km average. Mid 7km at goal marathon pace 4:08/km (2:55:00 marathon) and last 2km dropped to 3:45/km. Ran after work so sun was setting so got to “seek beauty” but most of the run was in the dark.

[@tylermorgan9018]

Best shoe I've ever had. I have issues w the ball of my foot with the nerves in the ball of my foot getting irritated.( w sucky shoes)....getting hit with a lot of impact BC I weight 190 lbs. And 5'9" ( bodybuilder shape) but I love walking 1-1/2 hrs a day. This is my favorite shoe. When I run mildy( 30 mn at a time...) , this is my best buy. I love this shoe....I recommend it.

[@xaydee3631]

Love my endorphins shift!

[@garrettgilreath]

Hey Seth I'm a high school runner and I have a running shoe question. What is a good daily trainer shoe that would work for trails and road for under $130? Big fan btw!

[@flamwork06]

Just order the Saucony endorphin shifts! Can't wait to get em!

[@STARTINGSOMESHIT]

You should be good as long as you don't have any knee issues. This is not a "soft" shoe at all.

[@palmermadson9222]

You liking them??

[@nathanlangfitt]

QD: An attempt at a low-HR 8 miles, but it's pretty hot and sticky here in Indiana. Even the easy days are tough when the weather is like this!

[@GotDamBoi]

I had 2 pairs of these and the foam on the bottom of the shoe was completely worn through by 400 miles on both pairs

[@ivanilic1806]

Hey there! Comparing this one to Ride 13 in terms of cushioning, which one do you recommend? I managed to try today only Triumph 18 (only this model in my size) and it is comfortable. But between Shift and Ride 13, which one is more similar to Triumph in terms oh cushion, comfort and softness? Is Ride 13 much more firm than Triumph 18? Cheers!!

[@JeremyBenfield]

Where I live, I always run within 10 meters of a coyote or fox. Every. Run.

[@seandunlap1743]

QD: unremarkable run- which is not to say it was not appreciated. Thankful for being able to be out there experiencing the miles. (Mile repeats tomorrow!)

[@sethglassman4182]

Hey Seth--have you looked into the Reebok Floadride symmetros--its light stable and bouncy and I really think you'd dig it.

[@jimoconnor8597]

I'm here for the Skechers!

[@patrickmaher4944]

I ran in the Shift and I thought it was a great pair despite the high stack. That did not bother me. But as a recovery shoe, it was a bit too heavy. I loved the fit, the cushion (not too mushy) and the firmness it provided under forefoot and mid-foot. I really wanted to like this pair but the weight was too heavy. I wear size 10 and wished it weighed around 9.5 oz. That would have made this pair a great buy for me.

[@astarling09]

QD: did 4 mile group run in the Saucony Ride ISO 2. pretty good shoe and I got them for free! I'm using the Freedom 3s for my 10K race on Saturday, 1 August 2020.

[@chrissykes8666]

Seth, can the foam in this shoe last 700 miles? Or just the shoe in general can hold up to 700?

[@40hills1]

That's my same thought on every mileage/life prediction.

[@ericpetersen8645]

Same

[@dbk81]

Recently put these into my lineup as daily trainers, definitely plenty of cushion there, I will say, this is not a fast shoe by any means, but I don’t mind as it make days when I put on my Endorphin Pro’s that much faster.

[@brianwakem7258]

I hated the Shifts. Very heavy, hard and inflexible. I only did 1 run in them and they had to go. 347g in my UK11.

[@STARTINGSOMESHIT]

You're not alone. All that stack height wasted on concrete like foam. I ended up finding a pair of Hoka Clifton 6's in the color I wanted online.

[@dannyj1983]

Easy 6mi shakeout at 9:30 today in the ride 13. After 17mi on Sunday, my calves want to run in some Altras.

[@bikes7777]

I love my Kinvara 9's and 10's. How would these compare?

[@sangio939]

Hey thanks for the video! I'm an Easy runner, I weight around 75-80kg depending on the period of the year. I'm using the Ghost 13 right now, but I'd like to try something different, I was thinking to try one of these two saucony or the Clifton, which One world you recommend?

[@modernwize]

Ghost 13 Ride 14 New Balance 880v11 New Balance FuelCell Rebel

[@tsubakichan]

SJD, most reviewers talk about the Shift feeling very different underfoot vs the Ride, due to the Speedroll / rocker. ie if you want traditional trainer, Ride. if you want a complement to the carbon plated shoes, Shift for that similar rocker feel. Did you notice a difference in how they run?

[@jacobmorales4448]

QD: Almost fainted in this heat in this 9am run El Paso, Texas 🥵

[@timobrien256]

Today I hit 100 miles walking and 4 weeks on my new hip......may need to do my 100 mile review:-)

[@komorebi_5549]

QD: I had a good run, I went a bit farther than my planned turn around point cause I zoned out 😂 Also I agree 100% on the Ride > Shift because the Shift is just waaay to heavy for a neutral trainer and the Ride is also cheaper.

[@stuartdavenport3503]

I’m 16st and normally run in Ultraboost for long runs/half’s was looking at the Endorphin range and undecided which would suit me best? Cheers

[@PARKA45]

I'm still new to running. My question is the shift good for flat feet ? I'm currently running Brooks Adrenaline. Trying to find another sneaker.

[@19Kamau79]

QD: just under 4mile easy run today kind of light week coming or tapering maybe for time trial not sure if there's local race coming in early August ☺️

[@aristodiga82]

QD: was planning an easy run today, keeping my heart rate low etc, but I got up late and it was so hot out there my heart rate spikes up even at my slow pace (which is really slow). So I decided to do a tempo run instead, and get the run finish quickly. Bad idea. Ran in zone 3-4 for more than 1 hour under the hot sun and now my body screams for a good rest 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@dannyclark7600]

QD: 3 miles after work and then an EMOM workout (20 min of 5 burpees, 20 jump squats)

[@bencairns2515]

Hi Seth, back in January I got a stress fracture in my foot. Recently my long run gave me some discomfort in that same foot which has subsided. I currently run in the Clifton 6's do you think I should use a less cushioned shoe for my short runs to help with foot strength?

[@LR6092]

Clifton 6 arent entirely that soft honestly. Theyre my heavoest, slowest, hardest shpe i have

[@pasqualeruzza2674]

Done 200km in the Endorphin Shift and it’s still not absorbing anything, it feels so firm underfoot that I wouldn’t consider it an easy day trainer, it’s not responsive either. I wish I’d have stuck with the Hoka Clifton instead.
