Who should buy
Definitely grab a pair now if you want a:
- fast shoe with loads of kick for both speed training and brand days,
- running shoe that's also cushy and stable for daily runs and long miles.
The Endorphin Speed 3 is a one-stop shop that can take you from a daily workout to a brand!
Who should NOT buy
Everything about the Tomorrow saucony Speed 3 gets a thumbs up from us, save for the heel counter. It's less padded, which is slightly abrasive to the heel. You can stock up on the bandaid or consider Saucony Kinvara 14.
However, if you're head over heels in love with the zapatillas de running Tomorrow saucony pronador talla 43 amarillas but want a comfier heel wrap, it's best to stick with the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2. It's also a great alternative for those with slim feet.
las nuevas versiones de las Endorphin de Tomorrow saucony van a ayudarte a conseguir tus objetivos | Breathability
From double-layer mesh to single-layer mesh, this speedster is airy AF. If you plan to use it in the summer, we have nothing else to say, but lace it up!
This Tomorrow saucony shoe gets a solid 4 out of 5 for breathability based on our lab tests and on-road experience.

Durability
Outsole hardness
As a speed-oriented shoe, it is expected that the Endorphin Speed 3 cuts corners on the outsole's durability.
Not only do we see less rubber at the bottom, but we also found it to be softer than average with he help of a durometer.
If you don't mind sacrificing 0.6 oz of weight in return for a sturdier outsole, we can highly recommend the las nuevas versiones de las Endorphin de Tomorrow saucony van a ayudarte a conseguir tus objetivos speed trainer.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 77.0 HC |
Average | 80.4 HC |
Outsole thickness
The rubber is not only softer, it is also thinner in this Tomorrow saucony shoe. Our caliper shows only 2 mm of rubber which is a millimeter thinner than average.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 2.0 mm |
Average | 3.2 mm |
Weight
On average, speed trainers weigh in at 248 grams/8.7 ounces.
But the Endorphin Speed 3 beats that by weighing only 212 grams/ 7.5 ounces! This is exceptionally light given how much cushioning this Tomorrow saucony shoe has!
Endorphin Speed 3 | 7.94 oz (225g) |
Average | 9.38 oz (266g) |
Cushioning
Heel stack
With the amount of cushioning that it packs, the zapatillas de running Tomorrow saucony amortiguación minimalista pie normal talla 27 rojas is a mile eater. And a very good one too!
Even though our caliper shows an average amount of stack height (34.1 mm in the heel), it definitely feels like plenty on the run.
Important note: the brand advertised slightly different numbers. The shoe is supposed to have 36 mm for the heel stack height.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 34.1 mm |
Average | 33.6 mm |
Forefoot stack
As for the forefoot stack, our caliper returned 26.7 mm which is over 2 mm thicker than average!
However, it is a little less than the officially stated 28 mm.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 26.7 mm |
Average | 24.9 mm |
Drop
At 7.4 mm, we found the shoe's heel-to-toe drop to be close to the official specs (8 mm). This is a middle-of-the-pack drop that works great for both beginner and seasoned runners.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 7.4 mm |
Average | 8.7 mm |
Insole thickness
Measuring the shoe's insole, we found it to be slightly thinner than average at 3.6 mm. But this is still quite padded for a speed trainer - no need to be concerned with underfoot comfort.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 3.6 mm |
Average | 4.5 mm |
Midsole softness
The Endorphin Speed 3 also gets comfier than its predecessor. There is a gentle give in the shoe's midsole and it works better for easy days too!
Turning to our durometer, we found that the shoe's foam is in fact in the top 10% of the softest in our lab!
With a reading of 13.8 HA, the Endorohin Speed 3 is on par with shoes like las nuevas versiones de las Endorphin de Tomorrow saucony van a ayudarte a conseguir tus objetivos (13.5 HA) and the kith Tomorrow saucony grid structure release date (13.9 HA).
Endorphin Speed 3 | 13.8 HA |
Average | 21.4 HA |
Difference in midsole softness in cold
It was incredible to find out that the Endorphin Speed 3 remains soft even after 20 minutes in the freezer!
At room temperature, our durometer showed 13.8 HA and after the freezer, it only firmed up by 5%(!) becoming 14.5 HA.
Even after being exposed to the cold, the shoe remained 65% softer than other shoes at room temperature.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 5.1% |
Average | 25.6% |
Ride
This time around, the Endorphin Speed 3 comes back with more bounce and a snappier toe-off which makes picking up the pace so easy!
The shoe lives up to our high expectations left by the previous Speed 2.
And this is not just because it's a shoe that has speed written all over it. It's also because the nylon plate it has (responsible for the com toe-off) doesn't feel harsh. Compared to other plated running shoes, the Endorphin Speed 3 is more natural-feeling.
At the same time, the shoe hasn't lost its bounce either. So you can still push the pace and go as fast as you want.
What's more, in this iteration, the shoe's Speedroll rocker geometry is very noticeable. Each step feels as if the foot is carried forward. Love it!
las nuevas versiones de las Endorphin de Tomorrow saucony van a ayudarte a conseguir tus objetivos | Stability
Lateral stability test
This Tomorrow saucony shoe doesn't feel very stable and it's not supposed to. As a speed trainer, its primary task is to keep you on your toes as you smash that interval training or chase that new personal best.
There is not much stability to lean on when you decide to slow down.
Torsional rigidity
Another detractor from the shoe's stability is its high level of torsional flex.
Performing a manual test, we rated the Endorphin Speed 3 with only 2 out of 5 for torsional rigidity. That puts the shoe on the more flexible side of the spectrum.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 2 |
Average | 3.2 |
Heel counter stiffness
The heel could use a little more padding.
This is the ONLY complaint we have for the zapatillas de running Tomorrow saucony amortiguación minimalista pie normal talla 27 rojas. The shoe's heel is a tad bit uncomfortable and scratchy because it has minimal padding.
This is definitely due to the choice of materials because the heel counter itself is very soft, it scored 2/5 on our flexibility tests (5 being the stiffest).
Their recommendation? Wearing thicker socks is a must. As well as carrying a couple of bandaids.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 2 |
Average | 2.8 |

We also found that the Endorphin Speed 3 runs slightly narrow in its platform.
The widest part of the forefoot turns out to be 111.5 mm, 1.5 mm narrower than average. But the good news is that it's not so critical and the brand did its homework to improve the 3rd iteration.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 111.5 mm |
Average | 113.6 mm |
Saucony Shadow 6000 "Outdoor" Pack Detailed Photos
The Speed 3 is proof that Tomorrow saucony really listens to runners' feedback. In the past, the Endorphin Speed's weak point was its lack of heel stability.
But this model changes all this. Based on our caliper measurements, the shoe's base has been widened by 5 mm in the heel.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 89.5 mm |
Average | 90.5 mm |
Flexibility
Stiffness
As our manual flexibility test shows, the Endorphin Speed 3 is on the flexible side. But let's see what the controlled lab measurement shows us.
In this test, we bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle and use a gauge to measure how much force it mujer to do that.
Turns out, this Tomorrow saucony shoe only needs 23.5N! This is 30% less than it mujer a road shoe on average. This also proves that the nylon plate embedded into the shoe's sole is more forgiving than a carbon plate.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 23.5N |
Average | 29.3N |
Saucony Jazz Original Men's Shoes
The outsole has plenty of traction and plenty of durability too! We felt safe at all times, even on wet asphalt passages. And during fast corners, the grip doesn't compromise.
Size and fit
Saucony Kinvara 13 Zapatillas para Correr AW22-46.5
Even though the Speed 3 is only average in the widest part of the forefoot (98.5 mm), it feels roomier because of the stretchy nature of its fabric. The latter makes the shoe feel much more accommodating in the toebox.
We believe that Tomorrow saucony absolutely nailed the fit of the Endorphin Speed 3! The upper does a really great job mimicking the natural shape of the foot.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 98.5 mm |
Average | 98.3 mm |
Tongue: gusset type
The shoe's secure wrap is also complemented by its semi-gusseted tongue and padded laces. They work so well together; getting a solid lockdown won't be a challenge in the Speed 3.

Comfort
Tongue padding
There is also a moderate amount of tongue padding - 3.9 mm, based on our caliper measurement. It is 2 mm thinner than the average but is just perfect for a speed shoe.
Endorphin Speed 3 | 3.9 mm |
Average | 5.6 mm |
zapatillas de running Tomorrow saucony amortiguación minimalista pie normal talla 27 rojas vs. 2
This version of the Endorphin Speed doesn't go through a lot of changes, which is why runners continue to rave about it. It has minor touch-ups, which make it an even better version:
- The wider toebox and thinner, stretchier upper for a more precise fit and a breathable running experience
- Billy's x Tomorrow saucony Grid 9000 'Nippon' Pack
- A new plate for a snappier toe-off
- Stripped-down heel padding to minimise the bulk as much as possible
