I've stated it a lot recently, but I'll state it again. Sauconys latest run of trail shoes has been piss poor.
Marketed as "slim lined", it would seem to me they've actually just cut corners and quality with their latest offers. Short as fuck laces. Cheap soles. Crap, flimsy uppers, and yet bumped the prices up £20/£30.
'COST OF LIVING AFFECTS AMATEUR TRAIL RUNNERS!' would be the headline.
I keep repeating myself because I've run in saucony since I started running and always end up back with them, so I'm really disappointed.

I'll run my endorphin trails to death over the winter just because i have them now but for £160 there's plenty to complain about yet my more expensive pros are worth every penny. Unless the trails pop up somewhere massively discounted i wouldn't recommend them to anyone at anywhere near rrp. I'm done with Saucony trail shoes now too. I've had better from asics and mizuno for half or less what these cost. I can live with the Nikes soles wearing out because i really enjoy running in them. For durability Mizuno wave Diachis are great I've got a 3 year old pair i just can't kill.

I'm in two minds whether to keep or list them as they're not bad. They're comfy and have plenty of grip but expensive, hot, heavy, have annoyingly long laces and generally over built for an endorphin so i expected a lighter faster feeling shoe like an endorphin speed with grip and some reinforcement and they're certainly not that but for a winter high mileage training trail shoe they could come into their own as long as you change the laces as wet laces slapping you in the shins is really annoying. Saucony haven't made a bad shoe with these they just should have called it something else. I'll persevere with them but if anyone wants them for £60 they cost me £160 and have less than 100 dry miles in them and still look like new I'll let them go?
