  • Journal du Trail / Trail Session : 82.9 / 100 — « In Saucony's trail racing lineup, the Endorphin Edge inspires confidence across technical trails and wet rock thanks to its biting outsole and Saucony proprietary foam protection (269 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail racing training. »

Even better, we discovered that it's now ready for runs ranging from short to long distances. »
