Endorphin Azura

$150.00Super Trainer

The Saucony Endorphin Azura is a versatile, non-plated super trainer positioned as a do-it-all shoe for runners seeking one option for various training runs, from easy daily miles and long efforts to tempo workouts and even marathon race day. It features a generous 40mm stack of full PWRRUN PB superfoam with SpeedRoll geometry, delivering a bouncy, energetic, and propulsive ride that feels stable and responsive, especially at faster paces, though some reviewers find it firm at slower speeds. With a comfortable, breathable engineered mesh upper and a durable XT-900 outsole, the shoe offers exceptional value at $150, despite minor concerns about potential early wear on exposed midsole foam, minimal outsole coverage, and an aggressive rocker that may not suit all preferences.

Highlights

  • Highly versatile across run types, from easy recovery to tempo and long runs
  • PWRRUN PB foam delivers a bouncy, responsive, and energetic ride
  • Surprisingly stable platform with a wide base and mild medial support features
  • Very lightweight construction relative to its high stack height
  • Smooth, rolling transitions aided by an aggressive Speed Roll geometry

Considerations

  • Firm and less responsive feel at slower, easy paces
  • Tongue tends to slip down when putting the shoe on or during runs
  • Sparse outsole rubber coverage with exposed midsole foam in high-wear zones
  • Aggressive rocker geometry may limit quick turnover for short, fast intervals
  • Upper features numerous cosmetic overlays that some find visually cluttered
