How does it compare with the original Endorphin Elite?

The Elite 2 moves to next-generation IncrediRUN foam and a slotted full-length carbon plate for a smoother, more propulsive transition. It keeps the high-stack, SPEEDROLL race geometry of the first Elite.

What is the stack height and drop?

39.5 mm at the heel and 31.5 mm at the forefoot, an 8 mm drop. That is a high stack built for race-day cushioning and propulsion.

How much does it weigh?

About 7.0 oz (199 g) in the men's sample size, light for a shoe with this much foam.

Can I use it for daily training?

It is a race-day shoe. The stiff plate and thin outsole make it best saved for workouts and races, and the rubber wears quickly with daily miles.

Does it fit wide feet?

The knit upper is a snug race fit and Saucony lists no width options here. Runners with wide feet often need to size up or look at a wider trainer.

Is the Endorphin Elite 2 worth it?

It is a fair value for a carbon-plated supershoe if you race often and want Saucony's most aggressive racer. If you only race a few times a year, a cheaper plated trainer covers most of the same ground.

About it

Saucony® Endorphin Elite 2: When race day arrives, the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 is the neutral running shoe you want on your feet. Built around incrediRUN foam, this racing shoe returns energy with every stride while keeping the ride cushioned enough to carry you through the full distance. The full-length carbon fiber plate is designed for midfoot flexibility and positions the forwardmost tread point aggressively, so each push-off feels purposeful and efficient. At 7.0 ounces, it's light enough to stay out of your way when it matters most.

The PWRTRAC rubber outsole is thin but grippy, giving you confident traction on road surfaces without adding unnecessary weight. Up top, the lightweight upper is built for breathability, with a seamless molded heel that locks the foot in place so you're not fighting your shoe when the pace picks up. The 8 mm heel-to-toe drop sits in a range that works well for a wide range of runners, and the unisex sizing means both men and women can find their fit. If you want a racing shoe that feels fast, responsive, and secure from the first mile to the last, the Endorphin Elite 2 is worth a serious look.

Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe

I put these on before a tempo workout and immediately noticed how locked-in the heel felt - no slipping, no adjusting mid-run. The foam has real pop to it, and the carbon plate makes the toe-off feel snappy without being stiff. These are the kind of shoes that make you want to run faster just to see what they can do. - Sullivan, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Naperville IL

Who It's Best For

If you're a neutral runner chasing a PR or looking for a dedicated race-day shoe that combines max cushioning with a fast, responsive ride, the Endorphin Elite 2 is a strong fit. It works best for runners who want the energy return and precision of a carbon plate shoe without sacrificing cushioning on longer race distances. The lightweight upper and grippy outsole make it a reliable choice when conditions and competition demand your best. VIP Family members can take the Endorphin Elite 2 for a 90-Day test drive with our Perfect Fit Guarantee.

About the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2

The Endorphin Elite 2 is Saucony's race-day supershoe: a full-length slotted carbon plate, next-generation IncrediRUN superfoam and SPEEDROLL geometry in a 7.0 oz (199 g) package with a 39.5 mm heel and 31.5 mm forefoot (8 mm drop). It is built for competitive road racing over 5K to marathon, with a thin PWRTRAC outsole and a featherweight knit and mesh upper. Saucony calls it its most aggressive race-day performer, and owners agree it is fast at pace, though the stiff plate and thin rubber limit it to racing and workouts.
