FOR ANYONE WITH HEEL PAIN OR PLANTAR FASCIITIS: I highly recommend the triumph 20s when i first developed plantar fasciitis i was wearing a cheap pair of nike shoes so i decided to spend a bit of money and get the triumph 18s they lasted incredibly well and were very comfortable so i have just brought the triumph 20s and they are vrey cushioned highly reccomend

My parents "blessed" me with high arches so support is a bit of a must for me and I'm absolutely loving my Saucony Tempus. A great all-rounder which I've used for long-runs, speed sessions and even a Parkrun PB just last weekend.

Thank you very much for only reviewing shoes that you purchase with your own money. Your reviews are the most trustworthy because of that. I used the Endorphin Pro 3 for the Boston Marathon 2023 and absolutely loved them. The best thing I can say about them is that I barely thought about them at all during the race. They were very comfortable, lively, and just did their job very well. They never felt slippery or water-logged on a wet and rainy day. My only gripe is that the rubber outsole seems to be wearing out pretty quickly.

@seekingUltraNick Жыл бұрын

Speed 3 has been a go-to for me (ran two marathons in them last year), Speed 2’s are a nice back-up to have in rainy/wet days, and the Pro 3’s are my race day shoe for this year! (Same colorways shown in your video, Ben!)

Triumph 20’s for me on easy days and long runs. Stable, plush and cushioning is perfect for me. On to my second pair after 1000km in the first one. Endorphin Pro 3 for race day and workouts. Super comfortable with a “normal” upper in a carbon midsole which has plenty of pop.

I have the Shift 3 and its one of my favourite shoes. It's just the right amount of compression im the sole that takes the impact off your joints and allows you to roll through your stride. It"s an easy run shoe that makes runming easy. As for being part of the Endorphin line, I think its the geometry of the shoe that is consistent with the rest of the line up. Its the non plated, more stable daily trainer of the bunch and is actually more than capable of picking up the pace. My wife already had the Pro 3 and later picked up the Speed 3 and Shift 3 during a sale at the same time. The Speeds were the ones that she returned.

Triumph 20 has been an incredible shoe for me. It seems to have lots of protection and foam for easy runs, long runs and recovery runs but has enough bounce that I I am able to pick up the pace. Should keep over 1000km or 600 miles in them this weekend

I like the shift series best. I have problem feet and use them as my daily shoe as well as for all my different workouts. I love the stiffness this series provides and I’m amazed that I don’t miss the extra cushion that I’ve had in Altra Provison…however when my feet need a break I use my Altra Provisions for a nice slipper feel comfort. Haven’t tried the Shift 3 yet but think It’s time I tried them on.

I've got the same colorway Kinvara, and it's such a beautiful shoe. I really loved the lower previous Kinvaras and am not a huge fan of the much higher shoe. That being said this shoe is very light. And feels great to run in, just not the same as the older versions. But I'm maybe 120km into them and seeing the same very accelerated wear you did. Older ones would be bad in the rain (foam sole soaked up water and weigh a ton) and these are surely no different. But I'm not sure I can get 600km from these like did previous models. I also love the E speeds, and have OG E pro to race in.
