Saucony Endorphin Edge are trail shoes designed for long-distance speed, featuring PWRRUN PB foam (solid PEBAX material) and a highly flexible Mono Flex Carbitex carbon plate that provides excellent responsiveness.

Admin Chin's first impressions
- The shoes feel like they wrap around the foot well and fit comfortably. They feel agile, and the Speedroll technology makes moving forward feel effortless.
- Despite having a carbon plate, the shoes don't feel stiff. The combination of the Carbitex carbon plate and Pebax foam is quite impressive, feeling neither too firm nor too soft. You can feel the responsiveness when you land. I think they would be a lot of fun for 20–30 km speed trail runs (and for those who like heel striking, they are very plush and soft in that area).
- The lugs are just deep enough. In my opinion, they are suitable for both speed trail running and more challenging trail conditions.
- The design looks sleek, but the colors aren't quite to my liking.

Admin Nick's first impressions
- The upper is thin and comfortable, without feeling restrictive. They are lightweight and don't feel heavy on the foot.
- The feel is good—neither too soft nor too firm. I think if you really run in them, they should be responsive and fun to run in.
- The design is okay, but the colorway isn't quite to my liking.
P.S. I usually wear a US 10.5, but I chose a US 11 for these (I have a wide foot, so I need to size up).
