Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 Slashed Over 50% Off
The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 appears at a price that is under half of its normal retail value during the Post Prime Big Deal Days promotion.
Price and Availability
Retailers usually list the unisex version for $290. The sale now offers it for $129.95, which means shoppers receive a discount exceeding $160, creating one of the deepest reductions observed for a carbon-plated racing shoe.
Even with that cut, the shoe remains cheaper than many everyday trainers. Carbon-plate racers seldom fall below a fifty-percent discount, so this deal catches the eye of runners who watch their budgets closely.
Performance and Fit
Technical details list a weight of 7 oz for a men’s size 10, an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop, and a 39.5 mm stack height. Those numbers place the model in the lightweight, responsive segment that racers prefer.
Testers report a mix of cushioning and propulsion that feels like a “jet-pack” on the road. The shoe stays stable during tempo runs, delivering a lively yet cushioned feel without stiffening over longer distances.
The toe box provides generous space, while the heel region adapts to narrower arches without feeling confined. Runners have noted consistent foot strikes during hill repeats, track sessions, and extended tempo workouts.
A more cautious perspective points out that the foam can feel softer than some athletes expect, especially those who like a firmer platform. Given the lower price, trying the shoe involves only a modest risk for anyone after a light, well-reviewed racer.
User Feedback
Runner Eileen Cody, who typically runs a 7-minute mile, said, “I liked the first Endorphin Elite, but I kept going back to my Pros when I wanted a bit more stability. The Elite 2 combines the best of the Pro 2 and the Elite 1, which makes it the ideal Saucony shoe. I put fewer miles on it than I wanted, because I was saving it for special occasions.”
Running Reviews editor Amanda Furrer first described the shoe as “squishy,” worried that an overly soft midsole might lower energy return. She later observed that, on longer outings, the shoe stayed comfortable and did not lose the responsiveness she had anticipated.
