Reviews
Phenomenal Show
"This is a great overall shoe for running distance and everyday life because it looks awesome too. The toe box and upper are a great improvement from previous Craft shoes. It is comfortable and durable. Certainly recommend adhering to the size guiding cause they run a hair small. Super comfortable and durable for running."

A solid shoe
"I’ve owned four pairs of the Endurance 2, and appreciated that unlike other brands that feature constant updates, it remained the same for years. Road, trail, treadmill, it didn’t matter. The shoe worked for me… at 5’9”, 160 lbs, 55 years old, running three to four days a week between 5 and 10 miles, and having it rotate in with other shoes. The updates likely suit many people… a little firmer, thicker tongue, and snugger heel. I’ve run in the 3 a couple of times and am still uncertain that the updates suit me and my style, yet. Regardless, this is a solid shoe… and I remain perplexed that the brand is still so unknown."

Phenomenal shoe
"This is a phenomenal shoe. Provides incredible comfort and support, and also feels very responsive and fast. Was able to log some section PRs in these on some of my most popular routes. They feel very durable and all around extremely comfortable. Can't wait to keep logging some more road miles on these. I received these shoes for free in exchange for my honest reviews"

Long run trainer built for everyday stability
"I know Craft for amazing run clothing and gear. I never tried the running shoes, and did I not know what I was missing! I use Nike Volmeros and Brooks Hyperion Max for long run days, Endurance 3 just ended that. A secure engineered upper knit, footbed is very comfortable, lacing system added nicely to the stability factor. Every step provided an energy return bounce decreasing the effort needed to stride confidently."

Craft Endurance 3
"I give the Craft Endurance 3’s 5 stars because they’ve exceeded my expectations in pretty much every area. They’re incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and supportive without feeling bulky. The temperature control is a huge plus too — my feet stay cool and comfortable whether I’m out on an early morning run or taking walks with my wife. What really stands out is how versatile they are. They perform well during workouts and runs, but they’re also comfortable enough to wear all day. The cushioning feels great, the ride is smooth, and they’ve held up really well so far. Overall, these have quickly become one of my favorite pairs of shoes I’ve owned."

Traffic Controllers
"If you want a running shoe that turns heads before you even start your watch, the Shock Orange colorway of the Craft Sportswear Endurance 3 Running Shoe absolutely delivers. I received more comments on these shoes than almost any running shoe I’ve worn — my wife even started calling them my “traffic cones. ” But these aren’t just loud in color… they perform. The first thing I noticed was how amazingly lightweight they feel. Whether running on the road or treadmill, they stayed comfortable throughout my typical 2–8 mile runs without feeling heavy or clunky. I had no issues with blisters, plantar fasciitis flare-ups, knee pain, or general foot discomfort during testing. Fit-wise, I would personally recommend going ½ size bigger than your normal shoe size for the best comfort. One unexpected bonus: these things almost glow when headlights or streetlights hit them. For early morning or nighttime runners, the visibility factor is a huge plus and adds an extra layer of confidence outdoors. Pros * Extremely lightweight feel * Bright, high-visibility Shock Orange color * Comfortable for road and treadmill running * No blistering or foot/knee pain during testing * Great option for early morning/night runners Cons * Runs slightly small — consider going ½ size up * If you dislike attention… these are not subtle Overall, I’d highly recommend the Shock Orange version if you want a lightweight daily trainer that combines comfort, performance, and visibility with a bold personality. Thanks Craft and ExpertVoice for giving these to me for free to test."

Solid All-Around Shoe
"The 2s are already pretty stable, but I feel even more locked in with these. The laces and upper are a huge improvement too. The 2s fit perfect, but the forefoot here is a bit more cramped for me."

Poor overall quality
"Very uncomfortable shoes, those shoes lazes are a joke ending replacing shoes lazes & insoles. Very disappointed…"
