Saucony Women's Endorphin Azura Running Shoes

This is the most comfortable and stylish Saucony that I’ve owned. Support and cushion are key to my comfort but I enjoy looking good too! The Azura does it all for me.

I purchased these shoes for running. I ran a half marathon in these shoes last month and my feet did not hurt! The half marathon I ran back in March I wore Nike Zoom X shoes and my feet hurt so bad during and afterwards. I was thankful for the Saucony shoes because they are comfortable, great for wide feet, and for long distance running. I will probably purchase another pair.

I like the light, bouncy feel of this shoe. I was previously running in the Saucony Tempus 2. It does need a longer tongue. The tongue tends to slide down a bit and creates blisters. I think I still need to find a stability shoe for long runs but this shoe is good for 10k and under.

This is my first pair of running shoes in a decade and they are a breath of fresh air. Tried them on in store first and was super happy with how supportive they felt. Now having them out for a few runs, i have nothing bad to say. Not too plushy or stiff, my ankles and heels feel stable, and my feet are not sore in the slightest.

This is my favorite Saucony for long runs, short runs and even for my 10 k race. I notice myself reaching for it even ion my casual days at work. Love the fit (I am a size 8 which is 1-1/2 size up from dress shoes.) It’s the perfect Goldilocks — not too bouncy ( ie the Endorphin Elite) not too flat ( like the endorphin Speed). The heel cup is soft and thin and the toe box does not pinch. I just have to tie the laces better as they seem to loosen up after a few mile. The sole cushioning is just perfect!

The 6.5 has my toes curling, it’s pinching my heel and the sock liner of the tongue mad my feet start falling asleep because it was so tight. The 7 is my normal size and it was HUGE. I am talking, I had more than an inch in front of my toe. I cannot understand how there is no predictability in sizing since Covid. This isn’t a matter of, I couldn’t get the shoe to fit—I have no options when the difference between a half size is either “my toes are hitting the front of the shoe and curling under,” or, “I had to double check the box to make sure I didn’t get a men’s shoe because it was so big.” I am fed up with trying to find running shoes. I can’t combat inconsistent sizing, and I’ll look elsewhere.

I have run for nearly 40 years and tried EVERYTHING but these may just be my all time favorite trainers. They are so light and responsive but I never feel like I don’t have enough support. LOVE THESE!
