Great Speed Shoe

I’m happy I bought these. Besides them being cute, I love them for my interval and speed runs. I bought them a half size big and they feel a little big, so just get your size. The toe box is great for a wider foot. They are on the firmer side like the Evo’s, doesn’t have a bouncy feel. I won’t comment on stability because my shoes is a little big. I’ll probably purchase another color in my actual size.

A Buy All Day Just Do It.

This has been the show I have been searching for for daily use. Loved the speed but always wanted more cushion in the forefoot. This is it. I wish maybe there was a little bit of power run HG to make it just a tad more softness but the price counters that. And it just a win alll day. Buy it there is a reason every one is raving about this shoe

Stupid Fun Great Price

Got to try it at a running demo. Super fun shoe and immediately bought it at race end. Came from a Ride 15 and immediately felt the energy return and response difference. Firm but still awesome as a daily trainer. The outsole is painted and peels quickly, performance is unaffected so far. Loving this shoe.

Figuring Out My Rotation But A Nice Shoe

True to size. Lots of pop. Not the most cushioned shoe, but I’m not saying it’s uncomfy. I love the endorphin line, I got the pros and speeds. Speeds my favorite shoe so far. I have another brands comfy shoe for long runs so just figuring out where these slot in but I like the looks and the pop.

Great Training Shoe

Just a perfect blend of comfort, durability and stability. Saucony really nailed it on this one. Please don't change it. Some additional/better looking colorways would be nice though! Big fan of the silver.

Very Mid Shoe

Bought this about 3 weeks ago. I put about 15 miles in them. They are a bit too flat for me. They have no bounce. They kind of just feel like an everyday workout shoe. Not really for running. They do the job and are versatile in that aspect but not the running shoes I expected. I would not recommend if you want fast bouncy runs. Sucks they can’t be returned.

How Fast Can I Go Wearing These?

After 40 miles, I am very happy with my Azuras (Men's 10.5). Me? I'm 58 y.o., 155 lbs on a good day, and not particularly fast (marathon pace 8:45-8:55, depending). These shoes are fun! They have no speed ceiling for me. I took them up to 8:00 minutes per mile, and they just sailed on, as smooth and as light as ever. They could use additional stabilizing features, but that's more me than the shoe. Looking forward to using them in my upcoming June marathon!

Great

Best Saucony shoes I've bought in a while, springy but still feel stable.

Remarkable Tongue (I Know, Sounds Weird…)

Love the Endorphin lineup and this shoe did not disappoint. My shoe prior to this was the Endorphin Pro 4 and, while I really liked it, I wasn’t a big fan of the upper or the tongue. While the Azuro does not have a plate, the upper is, in my opinion, superior, and the padding and construction of the tongue is the best that I’ve experienced in 20+ years of running. I’ll be sticking with this shoe until they change it from what it currently is (seems to be inevitable in the running shoe industry). Regardless, this shoe checks all the boxes for me.

Fun Ride And In Style

I absolutely love these shoes! Something about them just makes me want to run fast- they have a super fun bounce. I also get a ton of compliments on the high octane colors! I plan to buy more I bought this shoe as a daily trainer but may honestly race my full marathon later in the year- I’ve ran up to 20 miles in these with no issues!

Perfect Balance Between Cushion And Responsiveness

My new favorite running shoe. The shoe designers at Saucony achieved the elusive balance between cushion and responsiveness. A truly remarkable shoe. I have used this shoe for moderately long runs, for hill workouts and for long interval sessions - and they excelled in all workouts - especially running uphill. The fit is glove like - luxuriously comfortable. They perform well on pavement but also work really well on gravel and grass surfaces.

Ideal For Faster Runs

Bought these and they feel amazing, but ideally not the best for slow pace runs since the foam isn't as cushioning as other shoes. Overall it's a really good shoe that helps you feel a effortless run in a way since the shoe helps you propel forward more with minimal effort but after running a 3 mile steady pace with more steps my legs were feeling more fatigue. At faster speeds they felt amazing though

Tempo Shoe

11.5 fit perfect. Tempo shoe not good on slow pace

Not The Right Fit

It's hard to write a comprehensive review when you are not able to take the shoes out for a run. I ordered my usual men's 10.5 normal width. I have used this same size across multiple generations of both Triumph and Ride shoes with no fit problems at all. However, the Azura is a different animal. The shoe definitely runs larger. The toe box is quite sloppy compared to Triumph and Ride. It was like I was trying on another make of shoe. I had read some reviews that stated this but was still surprised by how differently it fit. Maybe they will work for you - didn't for me.
