The Endorphin Speed is one of the most versatile shoes in running. We’ve reviewed both the Endorphin Speed 2 and Endorphin Speed 3, and each time it impressed us with a smooth, natural ride and the ability to handle everything from easy miles to race day.

The secret is a winged nylon plate rather than carbon. It gives forward propulsion at pace while staying flexible and forgiving, and PWRRUN PB foam provides plenty of bounce from landing to toe-off. Wide sizes are available too.

The current Endorphin Speed 6 carries the line on with a new PWRRUN PBX midsole and a redesigned nylon plate.

Who it’s for: runners who want one fast shoe for tempo sessions, intervals and races.
