Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 after 500km / 310miles

My review of this fantastic pair of running shoes, after 500k. Quality is simply superb!
They still look new! Regrettably, the outsole is giving up. I do believe Saucony has changed the material compared to the Pro 2. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the Pro 2 had some carbon fiber compound in the outsole and after 600km, it still doesn't look too warned out.
Anyway, these racing shoes are great (adding a couple of mods).
Enjoy the Ride... ehm, no pun intended (only Saucony aficionados will get this)...
So, it's better to say...
enjoy the Pro!
P.S.
The "old" Pro Plus are still 1 second faster than Pro 3 (on a 5K), but this difference is negligible and I must admit comfort in the Pro 3 is better (once I've changed insoles).

Is the Carbon Plate more Flexible on the "old" 500 km Shoe vs the new one?

[@gpersonaltrainer]

There is the common belief that the carbon plate gives you the springy effect, instead, the PEBAX foam (with its 85% of energy return) "does the job". The carbon plate is inserted to stabilize the foam giving to the midsole a bit of rigidity and, after 500k (I'm now approaching the 600k marker), it's still very stiff.
