Saucony: Which model of running shoes to choose?
The history of Saucony running shoes
Born in Pennsylvania along the Saucony Creek, the Saucony brand began by producing shoes for children and adults.
It was only in 1968, after a takeover, that the company began to produce running shoes.
The brand became very popular to the general public in the 1980s, thanks in particular to its successes on the New York and Boston marathons. Technical improvements and R&D investments are bearing fruit and the American brand is present on the podiums again and again.
What makes Saucony shoes so special?

The Saucony road collection
Endorphin Pro
Thanks to its carbon plate, the Endorphin pro is surely the model in the Saucony range that will provide you with the most propulsion in the forefoot. Its carbon plate coupled with the PWRRUN PB process allows you to go for kilometers and have a maximum return of energy. Ideal for regular and experienced runners, this pair is designed for competition, especially for half-marathon to marathon distances.
The Endorphin Speed
The Endorphin speed is one of the most versatile running shoes in the range. The carbon plate is very dynamic and allows for an efficient and fluid stride. Ideal for regular and experienced runners, this pair is designed for speed training (short splits, VMA sessions) or for competition.
The Endorphin Shift
Unlike the Endorphin Speed and Endorphin Pro, the Endorphin shift does not have a carbon plate. Comfortable thanks to the PWRRUN cushioning, these shoes allow for better propulsion in the front and are more lively. They are ideal for regular runners looking for dynamism. For all daily training or long jogging these shoes will win your heart.
The Triumph
This pair of shoes is designed for beginners and experienced runners alike. The Triumph is ideal for those who are looking for a comfortable shoe. Thanks to the PWRRUN+ foam, you will be able to run for miles with a fluid stride. For regular medium to long distance running, this pair will appeal to you.
The Ride
For all runners looking for comfort, this pair will be your best ally for your running trips. Indeed, it has a very effective cushioning thanks to the PWRFOAM process. For your VMA runs, threshold runs and recovery runs, this pair will seduce you. For beginners and regular runners alike, this pair is for you!
The Saucony Trail collection
The Peregrine
Ideal for beginners to advanced runners, this pair is the flagship model of the Trail range. Stable, light and above all dynamic, these shoes will win over runners who enjoy short and long trails.
The Xodus
This pair of shoes is designed for beginners or regular runners. The Xodus from Saucony is a pair that will provide you with unparalleled comfort for your long mountain trails, once again thanks to the PWRRUN+ technology. However, beware, it remains a little heavier and less dynamic than its competitors from other brands (e.g. the Hierro V5 from New Balance).
