There’s still a full length curved carbon plate with Saucony’s PEBA-packing PWRRUN PB midsole combined with Saucony’s Speedroll geometry aiming to offer that snappy, responsive feel.

You’re getting the same 8mm stack height as the first Pro, which sits at 35.5mm at the heel and 27.5mm at the forefoot. It’s not quite as light as something like the Asics Metaspeed Sky, but that mesh upper and light midsole clearly helps keep that weight down and lets you know this is a shoe for speed. In terms of weight, things haven’t changed from the original Pro. We didn’t encounter any issues from a fit point of view on our mixture of runs. It’s a shoe that feels true to size with our UK size 8 offering the right sort of room up front in the toe box and it doesn’t sit tight on the sides of the foot either. Much like the Endorphin Speed 2, the Pro 2’s single layer mesh upper feels snug in the right places and offers a good locked down fit at the laces and back at the heel. While this reviewer didn’t get a chance in the original Pro, we can say that this is a performance shoe that feels lovely to slip on. With the Endorphin Pro 2, Saucony isn’t ringing the big design changes as it’s mainly making tweaks to the upper and bolstering heel support to make it overall a more comfortable, breathable and supportive shoe to run in. That’s slightly more than the Endorphin Speed 2, which is more of a daily shoe, and launched at $160 / £155 / AU$259.99 at the same time.
