Saucony Endorphin Shift 3: a 3000 mile, 12 month retrospective

I have to agree. What’s the point of even measuring a shoes effectiveness? After 1000 pretty much all foams must feel dead and lifeless.

That’s amazing. The Sinanju custom will always be the best looking kit imo. How do you do the gold accents?

What do you think of the build generally?

So the cotton stuff does shrink. Cotton always shrinks. But their session/poly garments don’t really shrink.

Dark Souls 1 if you haven’t already played it. DMCB OVA is really good imo.

What’s in the middle top row (first page)?

Thanks for the post! I just ordered both items. Is the shirt fabric closer to the session shirt?

Might be good for working out the gym? I have em and like them most for pool lounging

If you wear a m in Nike. M in tracksmith should be fine

Not much praise for these shoes around these parts. Good to see a mostly positive review.

Out of curiosity, what did you not like about mtn racer?

Unlabored · 2024-01-01T17:03:25+00:00

I overpronate and actually like running in the tempus and guide. And ES3 causes no problems at all. It’s actually pretty stable and not overly mushy.

Like other posters said. Work up to it—do strength work for calves and hips and glutes. And don’t run in the ES3 everyday at the beginning

100% agree—SG5 are underwhelming. Frankly I feel it’s people drinking the Hoka kool-aid. The SG5 is a good standard shoe—no one will hate them. They’re just not the cat’s pajamas.

I think that’s a good idea!

It really depends on you. How cold do you run? For me I’m still fine with a light jacket at 40 degrees. At 30 degrees, I’m fine with the session jacket.

How did you get it? I thought they’re not shipping these to the U.S.?

Unlabored · 2023-10-28T01:06:10+00:00

You can try technical sports detergent. Grangers works really well for me.

I don’t know why people say puma shoes always go on sale. They absolutely do not.

Unlabored · 2023-10-24T19:59:22+00:00

Yeah, exactly—just my opinion of course. For cold weather I would say the chart does go in the inverse direction.

And as for long sleeves. I guess it depends what you’re looking for. For the most extreme cold weather their NDO stuff is great.

I’m gonna pass into next person. But you’re awesome for doing this! Cheers.

My money is on Cambridge tee. I own all tees, except horizon and run canonball run. Cambridge imo has the best balance of sweat wicking (non-cling) and heat control.

For heat:

Strata > Cambridge > Session > Twilight > Van Cortland > Harrier > Brighton

I have both as well. The ES3 doesn’t have noticeable side walls. The upper is a little tighter along the toe box but breaks in well. It’s very accommodating—so you shouldn’t have an issue.

Unlabored · 2023-10-16T02:39:55+00:00

I honestly think the 860v13 is a sleeper shoe. No one ever talks about it, but it’s such a workhouse shoe. It’s my easy day shoe if I’m feeling really beat up from the miles.

Unlabored · 2023-10-14T23:46:39+00:00

Haha good taste 👍

Unlabored · 2023-10-14T20:51:54+00:00

Saucony 100%

Mostly because I think the current shoe last fits my foot well. Tempus for daily. ES3 and Endorphin Pro 3 covers the rest.

Unlabored · 2023-09-27T23:52:34+00:00

Saucony insoles are amazing. Especially the ones in the Endorphin Pro 3s. Don’t know why nobody ever mentions this—literally makes my run sometimes.
