If you’re searching for all-out speed, the Pro would be the pick of the two – but the Speed is still a very fast shoe. However, the ride feels significantly different: the nylon plate makes it softer and even bouncier, because the PWRRUN PB foam comes to the fore without the stiffer carbon plate in there. The Speed is a touch heavier than the Pro – my UK 9 weighs 240g compared with 233g for the Pro. There is the same lightweight and springy PWRRUN PB foam, and the same SPEEDROLL technology in the midsole which moves you from heel to toe in almost effortless fashion. Other than that, the Speed has all the key features you’ll find in Saucony’s Endorphin Pro. The nylon plate is less stiff and produces a softer ride, which is what you want when logging significant mileage in a shoe, whereas on race day the propulsive feel of a firm carbon plate is preferable.

That’s really saying something given that every major brand has released a carbon plate super shoe in 2020, including Nike’s Vaporfly successor the Alphafly. There is no carbon plate in the Endorphin Speed, unlike its sibling the Endorphin Pro, but even so it’s been frequently hailed as a contender for the shoe of the year. As hard as the carbon plate racing shoes that are never in stock longer than an hour or two when made available. The Saucony Endorphin Speed is a hard shoe to get hold of.
