  • RunRepeat : 91.6 / 100 — « Saucony brings the Endorphin Azura to challenge the EVO SL, and we think it competes head-on while delivering clear advantages in some areas. In our lab tests, we were impressed by the energetic PWRRUN PB midsole and the responsive ride it delivers. We also liked its breathable upper, durable outsole, stable ride, and lightweight build. However, we believe the firm ride and intrusive SpeedRoll rocker may divide opinions and could turn many runners away. »
