zapatillas de running EVA saucony mujer talla 42.5 review

From our angle, the zapatillas de running EVA saucony mujer talla 42.5 is an ideal choice for:

• Those who feel that most racing shoes are too snug.
• Runners who want the most cushioning that still meets World Athletics regulations.
• Midfoot and forefoot strikers aiming for a competition shoe versatile enough to race anywhere from a 5K to a marathon.

The Endorphin Elite is a standout shoe, but it's best for those who like a firmer feel underfoot. If you're seeking a more cushioned race experience, we suggest considering the Nike Alphafly 2. It's been a favorite in the lab for its plush ride.

For those not willing to spend $275, there are other options worth exploring. Racing shoes like the ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ and the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 deliver a performance that's similar to the Elite but at a slightly lower price point. We consider these alternatives offer better value for their cost.

The last thing we all want during a race is for our feet to feel like they're boiling, especially in a marathon. That's why we aim here for nothing less than a 5/5 score in our breathability test—and the zapatillas de running EVA saucony mujer talla 42.5 didn't disappoint.

We noticed an ultra-thin mesh upper with a tongue that features large holes. This design lets air flow freely, making it one of the best shoes we've come across in this aspect.

Holding the upper up to the light, the outstanding breathability becomes even more apparent. The holes in the tongue and medial zone are truly impressive, and the toebox is also highly breathable.

To get a closer look at the toebox, we used our microscope—one of our favorite tests here in the lab. What we saw confirmed our earlier observations.

And as if that wasn't enough, the upper has several cut-outs to reduce weight and further boost breathability. We were almost tempted to rate it a 6/5, but of course, that's not possible!

It might seem surprising to you, but we've found in the lab that the most expensive shoes on the market often don't offer the best durability. After testing the Endorphin Elite—priced at $275—in our lab with the dremel, we measured its durability at a mere 1/5.

The Elite couldn't even hang in there for a full 4 seconds of our test!

This is just how most racing shoes shoes are designed. They prioritize top performance, which often comes at the expense of toughness.

Compared to the toebox, the heel is impressively robust—and there's a smart reason behind it.

Daily trainers often have a plush heel for added comfort, but competition shoes, aiming for lightness, feature minimal and firmer padding, less prone to wear out. And that's exactly why this shoe earned a solid 4/5 on our test.

The outsole is laser-focused on traction and performance. With smartly-positioned rubber covering high-wear areas and numerous cutouts for weight-saving and better grip in wet conditions, it's all about optimization.

If you're a heel striker landing on the inner side of your heel, they might wear out really fast since there's no rubber protection in that area.

We've got to mention its magnificent grip. With a 63.1 HC reading in our durometer, it's among the softest results we've recorded. The Endorphin Elite feels much like the soft tires on a Formula 1 race car.

We were pleasantly surprised by the results; our dremel only managed a tiny 0.2-mm dent!

The shoe has just 1.4 mm of rubber. At first glance, it might not seem like much, but we found that it's more than enough based on the previous test.

In performance-oriented shoes, maximizing bouncy foam to the World Athletics' 40-mm limit gives the advantage, and thicker rubber would Kinvaraact this benefit. So, while it may look deceiving in our lab tests, less rubber is actually a good thing for race day.

Weighing in at a respectable 7.2 oz (203g), it might not claim the title of the absolute lightest supershoe out there.

However, it's just an ounce heavier than its sibling, the Endorphin Pro 3 in a US 9. What's impressive is the generous amount of foam cushioning it packs underfoot, giving runners that plush feel.

The EVA saucony Endorphin Pro 3 already had a solid reputation as a race-day shoe. However, marathoners were aware it lagged slightly behind the best racing shoes out there, especially in terms of stack height.

World Athletics set in 2020 a 40-mm cap for road racing stack height, and it seems most brands are eager to push that limit.

In our lab, we measured the Elite and found that EVA saucony came incredibly close, with a stack height of 39.9 mm—just a hair away from the maximum. This is fantastic news for runners, especially when pushing through the final 10K of a marathon!

The shoe's forefoot also boasts impressive cushioning, making it a top pick for forefoot and midfoot strikers. When we took the measurement in our lab, we found that it clocked in at a cushy 31.9 mm.

Boasting a classic 8.0-mm heel-to-toe drop, this shoe works great for all foot strikes.

The insole of this shoe is notably thick and cushioned. We discovered that it isn't just any ordinary, low-cost EVA insole like in most shoes.

Instead, it's crafted from PWRRUN PB—the same high-quality Pebax foam we've seen in other top-notch EVA saucony shoes like the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 Concord Jade W. Such attention to detail is precisely what we anticipate when examining a shoe priced near 300 bucks.

While the shoe has a standout design, the real game-changer is the PWRRUN HG midsole. This is an evolution of the highly-praised PWRRUN PB. We found that it offers even better energy return, though it's a bit firmer underfoot.

The PWRRUN HG foam, still by Pebax, abandons the pellet-based structure of PWRRUN PB.

When we tested it in our lab, we measured the HG variant at 17.9 HA. This makes it 13% firmer than the PB version. So, if you're someone who enjoys a softer feel when you run, it's something to consider.

After placing the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes and then testing it, we found a measurement (21.0 HA) pretty similar to our earlier one.

There's just a 17.5% increase, which is better compared to many other running shoes. That's because PWRRUN HG, given it's a Pebax-based foam, Saucony Shadow 5000 Vintage W Rot Weiß.

Even though some runners lean towards softer foams, there's an undeniable advantage in a slightly firmer compound—it offers enhanced stability.

And this is precisely what PWRRUN HG provides: an impressively stable experience even for a max-stack height supershoe.

Naturally, being a top-tier supershoe, the Elite features a stiff carbon plate embedded in the midsole. This not only provides a bouncy feel but also gives top-notch torsional rigidity.

In our lab tests, we rated it with 5 out of 5. Good luck trying to twist it.

While there isn't a classic heel Kinvara, an extension of the overlay wraps around to form a heel collar. However, don't anticipate much support there; we gave it a score of 1 out of 5.

Essentially, you won't receive any added support in the heel area.

When we examined the midsole width, we discovered that the forefoot is exceptionally wide at 118.3 mm.

This design choice seems aimed at enhancing stability for midfoot and forefoot strikers, especially given the shoe's tall and aggressive profile.

The design of the heel is different, and there's a logical reason for that.

In our section discussing the outsole, we clarified that the Elite isn't tailored for heel strikers. Thus, widening the heel would only add unnecessary weight without benefiting its intended users.

While shoes with carbon plates are usually stiff, the Endorphin Elite stands out as one of the stiffest we've measured. In our test, we found that it required 64.5N of force from us to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle.

After a 20-minute freezer-chill, we retested the shoe and noticed a noticeable increase in stiffness—it now took 77.5N of force!

We measured a 20.1% increase.

Just as we observed with the midsole's softness, the PWRRUN HG foam demonstrated how well Pebax can handle temperature changes.

We recorded the internal measurement at 261.3 mm, which came in shorter than anticipated (270 mm).

However, since this is a racing shoe, we expected a snugger fit. It feels true-to-size for us, but if you have wider feet and/or you're getting ready for a marathon, consider going half-size up.

The Endorphin Elite, measuring 99.6 mm at the widest part of the upper, offers a way roomier toe box than the 94.3 mm Endorphin Pro 3.

This design makes it a top choice for runners with medium-to-wide feet, especially for longer races.

The big toe area stands out as a fantastic showcase of spaciousness in a racing shoe design. We recorded an impressive 79.1 mm at this spot, which is remarkably generous.

The shoe features a semi-gusseted tongue that enables a perfect lockdown.

While many running shoe designers often prefer non-gusseted tongues for racing shoes to save weight, this isn't the approach here. Well done, EVA saucony.

With a razor-thin 0.9 mm measurement and dozens of cutouts, this out-of-this-world tongue is all about weight-saving.

It offers no padding and minimal thickness—it's like the comfort experience we'd expect in fighter jet. And we love it!

saucony shadow 6000 cordura into the void competition shoes has become increasingly challenging over the years. So, it came as no shock when the Endorphin Elite gave us a similar tight-fitting experience with its unique upper.

Thankfully, EVA saucony added a user-friendly pull-tab to make the process smoother.

Unlike some racing shoes from other brands, the insole in this one isn't glued down. This allowed us to switch it out with an insole from another shoe.

Yet, based on our tests here in the lab, the optimal running experience in this model comes when using the original insole.

We understand that most races take place in daylight and under controlled traffic conditions. Given these factors, it makes sense for EVA saucony to leave out reflective elements in the Endorphin Elite.
