The original Saucony Endorphin Elite was one of the best carbon plate running shoes, but the speed it delivered came with the caveat of quite a harsh ride that some runners, including myself, found uncomfortable over longer distances.
There’s little danger of discomfort with the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2, which swerves to the other end of the spectrum and has perhaps the softest midsole foam I’ve ever come across in a racing shoe.
