Good, Springy Daily Runner

Overall I find to be the Endorphin Azura to be a very good daily trainer. I like the lightweight feel, the spring back with each step, and the speed roll feature. As others have noted, it has a little more support than some other shoes in the Saucony line. The shoe is very well vented which will be nice on warmer days, though it might be chilly in the winter. The jury is still out on durability yet since I've only been running in them for a month or so. That said, I think there is still room for improvement. One thing I noticed was the toe-box/front half of the show. It is slightly more narrow than I would prefer, but more importantly the widest part of the toe-box actually lands in front of the big joint instead of right at it, causing my foot to be pushed more forward in the shoe resulting in my toes rubbing against the very front. A larger size would not help, and a wide size show would just flop around my foot so that is not a solution. I have had to readjust the laces to keep my foot in place, which I'm not a fan of. I think the shoe could do with a little more room or flexibility in the toe-box and/or bringing the widest part back a bit. Currently the Guide has the optimal fore foot space for me. While the shoe also has more support than many others, I would like to see a version with more than it currently has. Saucony has been the only shoe brand so far that I can wear without aggravating some plantar fasciitis. This shoe has been great for that on my daily runs, roughly 5 miles each. However, beyond 6 starts to feel iffy. I would be hesitant to wear these on my half marathons. For that, the Guide continues to fill that space best for me, though there is no sprinting to the finish line in those. If Saucony could somehow combine the support and roomier feel of the Guide with the spring, light weight, and roll of the Endorphin Azura it might be the perfect shoe for me. As an aside, I would like to see Saucony have better color options for the womens sneakers. So many of them are boring, light pastel colors and frequently have purples and pinks in them, while the mens have incredible bold tones. The light colors get dirty so quickly and are so typically "girly". Not every woman likes pink and purple. Once upon a time there was a gorgeous teal color, which I bought multiple pairs in until I couldn't find them anymore. Now I just resort to black because I don't want an easter egg shoe. Please bring back the fun colors!

Nothing Special

I believed some online reviews that said this would be a reasonable replacement for the Tempus that Saucony discontinued for some stupid reason. It is not. The heel counter is flimsy and I don't care how wide the base is, a foam this soft isn't going to work as a stability shoe. Their other stability options are basically sofas for your feet, which I don't understand. I return to my hunt for a tempus replacement, apparently to other brands.

Saucony Women's Endorphin Azura Running Shoes

I bought these a few weeks ago and I love them! They are very light weight and comfortable with good support.

Good Shoe, Fix Heel Collar Height

Love this shoe! It reminds me of the Endorphin Speed 3, which i miss so much! Only note is that the heel collar is alittle tall so it rubs quite a bit despite it being well broken in.

Running Effortlessly

Absolutely obsessed, I have ordered saucony before and liked the previous purchases but I absolutely love these. It’s so comfortable and I feel like I’m running shoeless yet very supported.

Love These Highly Recommend

Love how light these are, the impact difference compared to other running shoes is very noticable & awesome. It's almost like running on a trampoline track, not literally but that's the best comparison. Really great for sidewalk & street runs.

Love Them

I absolutely love these. First lets start with the color - the coral red is fire! Now, lets dig in.... Out of the box they wore comfortable, I wore them all day teaching ( where I don't sit, ever) before running. The ride is great, lite enough for speed, yet still has good cushioning front and back. I've done a few 5 mile runs and a few shorter 2 and 3 mile runs, no discomfort. I'm a fan of the kinvara pro series, and these have a similar feel - ran a half in my kinvara pro Tokyo and could've kept going. I feel like these are similar.

Snappy :)

Speedy and super fun to run in! I run 3-4 times a week and usually wear them for my faster road runs (5+ miles tempo) and occasionally on long runs. The PWRRUN PB foam is snappy and I feel like I’m getting a lot of energy return without that slightly unstable feeling of a lot of high-stack shoes. The SpeedRoll geometry feels smooth. When I swapped for my old shoes I definitely noticed an increase in both pace and comfort. Fit wise, I would say they are true to size and feel secure. I actually appreciate the tongue design as it stays in place for me. The outer edge of the toe box does cut in at a pretty sharp angle that rubs the top of my outer toes. Not a dealbreaker but I do notice it on runs longer than an hour. Also the women's colorways are... fine, most are too bright for me. I went with mist/cameo in the end as a slightly more muted option. Those few notes aside, I think it’s a great shoe and I would definitely recommend it!

Perfect Shoe

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.

Excellent Running Shoes

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.

Please Fix The Tongue!

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.

Great

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.

Runner’s All Around Buddy

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!
