There is no heel slippage in the Speed 2 but extra double last row eyelets are provided if you do experience any slipping of the heel. There's also a new heel pull tab which is made of suede. The heel counter now has more structure and holds the heel more securely. Halfway up the tongue is a band which is elastic that helps the tongue retain its shape when it lies on top of the foot. This adjustment makes the forefoot slightly narrower. The padded tongue which is semi-gusseted is slightly longer and sits more comfortably on top of the foot.Īt the base of the lacing area, the first row of laces now goes through a suede loop. The reinforcements in the toe box used to go diagonally but on the Speed 2, the reinforcement is oval shaped so there is more open mesh. The mesh on the top of the box has been reengineered for more breathability. The overall foot lockdown feels more secure while the lacing area has also been improved for a more customisable fit. The brand new upper of the Endorphin Speed 2 provides a snugger, more dialed in, secure fit, similar to a racing shoe. So does the new upper make the Endorphin Speed 2 even better than the first version and how does it now compare to the other plated tempo trainers? This will make a lot of Endo Speed fans happy because the first version was almost perfect. The Endorphin Speed 2 has exactly the same midsole and outsole combination as version 1 with a brand new upper.

Many runners prefer the Endorphin Speed to the Pro because the two have very similar rides but the Speed is a cheaper price point. It has a more flexible nylon plate instead of a stiff carbon plate, a more structured upper and a cheaper price. The Endorphin Speed was designed to be the training companion to its racing counterpart, the Endorphin Pro. It was also great bang for your buck because it had a full-length PEBA midsole and plate combo which was much cheaper than similar offerings from competitor brands. The outsole rubber was extremely durable, being capable of hundreds of kilometres of running while its midsole didn’t show compression lines and held up very well over the life of the shoe. The Speed could also double up as a trainer and a racer. The Endorphin Speed’s thick PWRRUN PB midsole combined with its snappy nylon plate made it fast enough for steady runs, tempo runs and threshold runs with enough cushioning for long-distances like half marathons and marathons.
So what makes the Endorphin Speed so good and one of the most highly rated trainers of recent times? It comes down to three factors: versatility, durability and value. This time, there is enough stock to go around- for the time being. This has made version 2 one of the most anticipated running shoe releases of the year. Here in Singapore, version 1 also sold like hotcakes and most retailers were sold out almost immediately. Not even Saucony predicted how popular it was going to be and it took them a while to match supply with demand. It was so popular that it flew off the shelves instantaneously when it was launched and it was almost impossible to purchase a pair in the 6 months following its launch.
Between its ultralight PWRRUN PB cushioning and responsive nylon plate, it's evident this shoe can do it all. The Saucony® Endorphin Speed 2 is a natural winner, and now it's back and better than ever.Koolaburra By UGG Search Within Women Search
