great find, thanks for sharing!
Question for the hive mind.
Have been running in this shoe (Endorphin Shift) since the start, and suddenly the last update to the Shift 3 is giving me giant heel blisters. The inside of the heel cup (and the whole liner basically) seems rougher. Anyone else experiencing this? Do my ankles need to HTFU? More grease?
Love this shoe, been so durable running (for me) huge milage in them, and panicking I can’t run more than 6 miles without blisters now.
Thanks for the heads up. It looks like some colors are almost all sold out, which is a shame because I was thinking of picking up a pair for casual use. I’m also a little surprised this shoe is being liquidated already.
I got one pair and use it for long runs. Before purchasing I wasn’t aware this shoe uses the PWRRUN foam; I previously had the Speed 2 which uses the softer PWRRUN PB foam. I find the PWRRUN foam to be stiffer than I like, although I never had issues of discomfort, etc. with it. I think I’m used to the softer PWRRUN PB and Nike ZoomX (I race in Alphaflys). I think I’ll try the Speed 3, Asics Gel Nimbus 25, or New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4 as my next easy day / long day shoe.
Our rep said this model is not moving forward next year…such a shame as it has helped so many people and nothing adds the same fit and features. Looks like I’ll have to stockpile some as well.
Thanks! Just picked up a pair. I’ve been very happy in the Endorphin Speed 3s (and Kinvaras) and have heard good things about the Shift 3s. Can’t wait to try them.
I had been really happy with the Speeds, I tried the Shifts because they seemed to be represented as a long run shoe or a more durable version of the Speed. They are nothing like the Speeds, they are a stability shoe. I see no similarities and won’t be using them any more. I am a midfoot striker and they have a very rigid feel along the external perimeter.
same here. the heels feel like bricks under my feet
I did not see the extra 20% today 5/24/23

Speed 2s are on clearance at Amazon and other places. Just ordered a pair for $100, seems more than fair.
I picked up some endorphin pro 2’s for $75 for my long hard training runs. I used to use the speeds but couldn’t pass up for that price. I have seen speed 2’s as low as $60.
