The best running shoes sure aren't getting cheaper. In fact, they are getting increasingly costlier as time goes by. Some not-limited edition 'super shoes' – high-stack racing shoes designed for long-distance running – are almost as expensive as running watches and workout headphones. Looking at these prices, you wonder: are expensive running shoes worth it?
Saucony's latest super shoe, the excellent Endorphin Elite, made waves recently, not just because of its good energy return and unique design. At launch, the Saucony Endorphin Elite cost as much as the Nike Alphafly 2, the most expensive running shoes in recent times. The Elite hasn't just got a hefty price tag compared to other running trainers but also in general. $275/£280 is a lot of money to spend on some racing-only shoes.
