Those zones are more prominent at the forefoot shoe where it stretches even up to the front of the toe box with more of the sole exposed at the back that could quickly get eaten up on harsher off-road terrain. Underneath, you’ve got the same outsole make up as the first Speed with reinforced high abrasion zones that are designed to offer strong traction and durability. The mens Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 uses a unique nylon plate to give. It’s an exceptional shoe because it’s light, comfortable, energetic and, potentially, very fast. Looking for the latest version The mens Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 is available now.

Now in its third edition, the Saucony Endorphin Speed is evolving with every release. The heel counter, collar and tongue have a textured, flexible feel to add to what is overall a comfortable, breathable upper. Saucony met that need with the Endorphin Speed, featuring a nylon plate that sits in the middle between a carbon-plated race shoe and an everyday trainer. Saucony also says it’s used anti-slip laces here to create that strong fit, though we can’t say we hugely noticed those laces made a huge difference on that front. It's now more of a daily trainer than a speedwork shoe. Version 3 has a more stable platform with a softer and more relaxed ride. Its nylon plate doesn't provide the propulsion that carbon racers have but it's still a very fast shoe. One of the benefits of that mesh upper is that it feels quite spacious up front in the toe box, which is welcomed in what does feel like quite a narrow fitting shoe and that’s something to be mindful of. The Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 is a multipurpose trainer/racer which can fill many roles in your rotation.
