I am not a runner but I do a lot of adventures and these have been my favorite adventure shoes by far! They got completely submerged in the muddy jungles of Costa Rica and then rinsed off and dried off very easily, completely, and quickly! I have the black ones and you couldn't even tell they had been muddy. I wore them up to the summit of Half Dome and the top of Angel's Landing and the grip was perfect. I have done lots of desert hikes in them and it's true that the rough stone took off a piece of tread or two, but I have continued wearing them without a problem. I love the stow loop for the laces. They are very comfortable for me.

My first pair of Saucony did not disappoint. I ran 6 races with Endorphin Speed 3, so I decided to try a new pair which is these the Endorphin Edge. I am very disappointed with these sneakers. They run at least 1/2 to 1 size larger. I have about an inch of room in the front. I discarded the box before I tried them on, (thought they all ran the same) therefore did not return. Gave them a try for 1 run and my knees were in pain the next day. This doesn't happen with any other running shoes that I have.

After 25 years, I finally found my perfect thru-hiking and fast packing shoe! I’m 6’5”, 240 pounds. Not only does this shoe have a crazy amount of cushion, but the carbon fiber plate and rock plate protect the bottom of my feet from rock bruises. The carbon fiber plate makes all the difference. These shoes are incredibly light, dry super fast and are extremely comfortable. I have about 80 miles of technical trail/off trail hiking on these and am surprised at how little wear they show. I really hope that Saucony does not change a thing on these shoes, but I bought 2 extra pairs just in case.

I bought a pair about a month ago. I found the shoe was not quite true to size (owning 10 pairs of Saucony now, all the same size) and I needed to return. Order 1/2 down, due to the length.Break in went well and I felt that the shoe was essentially ready for racing/long distances out of the box.I hoped to give this shoe a 5 star but some of the concerns meant I could only give it 3.5 (default to 4) stars at this time.Pros: light shoe, overall fit was pretty good once the sizing was correct and the shoe was stiff enough for what I like in the trails. Overall the shoe felt fast.Cons: the lacing has been challenging. No matter how I laced (various racer loops styles), the heel would have some slipping which I haven't solved yet. During a race, I had to stop ... MoreI bought a pair about a month ago. I found the shoe was not quite true to size (owning 10 pairs of Saucony now, all the same size) and I needed to return.

Overall the shoe felt fast.Cons: the lacing has been challenging. No matter how I laced (various racer loops styles), the heel would have some slipping which I haven't solved yet. During a race, I had to stop several times to adjust the lacing as they would loosen up a bit (possibly still breaking in) or I had them a bit too tight around the ankle.Had to replace one shoe to fit a power pod as the original lacing didn't allow the proper placement of a pod.-durability is questionable after 4 runs where there are chunks missing out of the foam sides from normal Trail use in the woods.-stability is a bit nerve racking but this is possibly my issue of not being used to a taller stack height. I had some minor ankle rollers and felt not sure footed on technical terrain and downhills.-traction was acceptable on hard packed terrain that wasn't too technical. During my race last week, there was a bit of moisture in the short grassy and dirty (a bit of mud) sections and the shoes were a struggling. I could feel my feet slide, also laterally at times. This meant I could not push as hard as I have in other similar trail shoes.Overall, I'm content with the shoe but some of the concerns mean it's not my top racing shoe at this time.A little irritating that not all produced colors were available in Canada.
I bought these for a mixed trail/road race (8 miles trail, 5 miles road) because I figured the higher stack would be better on the road portion, even though it might compromise the trail portion a little. Most of the trail was hard pack that had just been rained on and it turned to mud. on the trail portion of the race, there was 1200ft of climbing over about 6 miles with 17 water crossings so these shoes got soaked through and drained water repeatedly. I was slightly worried about the review that said the shoes got horribly heavy after getting wet. I’m pleased to report that this was not the case. The reviewer must not be used to running in wet shoes. I found these shoes drained water reasonably well and my feet dried out between the water crossings.

The reviewer must not be used to running in wet shoes. I found these shoes drained water reasonably well and my feet dried out between the water crossings. The shoes never became super heavy. Another plus was that the rubber on the soles did not accumulate much mud and shed the mud super fast with each stream dunking. I looked at other people’s shoes and some people were legitimately wearing mud boots halfway through. The downhill trail portion was well cushioned due to the higher stack. I didn’t bomb the hill, but I found I could keep up a fairly brisk pace without losing traction. These shoes also functioned well on the road portion with enough cushion for the last miles of the race. Over all I was very happy with the product’s performance.
This is very nice shoe, but I've found it doesn't quite have the magic of the endorphin speed. I'm finding no benefit of the plate as one might expect. Compared to my endorphin speed where the liveliness of the plate gives back some bounce that you lose from the robustness cushioning, with the Edge my toes sink in just a bit on every step and give me that running in the mud feeling I get from overly cushioned shoes.As with other Saucony shoes, the fit is great, and I've found the vertical roominess of the toebox to be a pleasant change, and the lacing system is cool. However, the hefty price tag isn't justified for a shoe that needs to be reworked. Hopefully the next version will take more cues from it's endorphin speed and endorphin pro cousins.

Wore these for a messy ultra straight out of the box! Normally would not recommend, and had an extra pair of shoes stashed in a drop bag just in case, but I was confident the fit would be great from other Saucony shoes I have - they did not disappoint. Did great on the extremely muddy sections and had good cushion and roll/turnover on the runnable sections. Performed well on the uphills and down! Didn’t feel too high off the ground as I have with some other shoes with this much cushion- they performed well on the technical terrain as well; no fear of turning an ankle. They got trashed with mud right away (so much for the new shoe colorway) but held up really well (even after a wash)!
I just want to preface this by saying I am and have been a huge fan of Saucony for a while… back to when the kinvara’s were one of the newest light weight trainers on the market. For the past 10 years I’ve exclusively run in Saucony shoes. I currently have 2 endorphin speed 3s, the endorphin pro 3, and 3 pairs of Kinvara 13 in my rotation.I took up trail running last year, so naturally I gravitated to the peregrine line. The fit and comfort were good, so I bought several pairs. Unfortunately the durability of this shoe is very poor. The uppers would rip through and the lugs would get worn down very quickly and after a month or two the lugs/sole just rips off. In the beginning I thought it was just me, as I admit, I am quite rough on them. But in the past season ... MoreI just want to preface this by saying I am and have been a huge fan of Saucony for a while… back to when the kinvara’s were one of the newest light weight trainers on the market.

The uppers would rip through and the lugs would get worn down very quickly and after a month or two the lugs/sole just rips off. In the beginning I thought it was just me, as I admit, I am quite rough on them. But in the past season I’ve gone through about 5 peregrines, 2 peregrine gore tex, and 1 endorphin edge. The sole rips off and the lugs get worn down so quickly. Why did I keep buying them? I guess I’m a fool and a sucker for saucony so I never thought of buying anything else. I wanted to run through the mountains doing my best impression of Racin Grayson.So I signed up for a 50 mile ultra. I had nothing to wear to the dance so I panicked and bought another pair of the endorphin edge trail runners a week before the race. Even though they aren’t that durable, they are a fast shoe and they’re comfortable even while running on the road. I did two easy shakeout runs on the track, and the race. So I’ve run in these 3 times and they are breaking down.So while I will still buy the road shoes, this was the last straw and I’m giving up on the trail runners until things improve.
Bought for my son for varsity cross-country. He enjoyed the shoes. They are light, good cushion and traction, with some spring. He ran on road and dirt tracks, not tactical trails. He got a pink colored pair. The PB foam is painted, so when it was damaged it was white underneath -- an aesthetic issue that can be overlooked. Bigger problem was that the tread wore too quickly. With about a month left in the season, the centers of the sole were nearly flat. If Saucony invested in a more solid and sharp Vibram material, I am convinced they would have lasted the season, possibly beyond. That may require some compromise in weight, but if you are spending $200 on a top-quality shoe, it should last the season.
I loved the endorphin shoes. They were my favorite new shoe for last year. They were pure butter on my feet (speed and pro’s). I was so excited as I finally got a saucony that was going to be lighter weight and responsive on the trail. I ordered the new peregines and the edge. The new peregines are great, but still a little heavier than I like. They are now in my rotation. The Edge, we're quite frankly terrible. Both of my ankles rolled so bad that it hurt to walk the next day and I have resilient ankles. I can roll my ankles no problem and normally not have problems after 25+ years on the trail. I’m going to try them one more time on a less technical trail to see what happens (and maybe they are meant for less technical trails), then make a decision on returning.
