WANT A CARBON PLATE RUNNING SHOE? Buy these!

[@johnshandle777]

One further benefit of both Pro 3s is that they both feel good whatever speed your moving at. I can transition from my slow long run pace up to 5k pace without any issue (caused by the shoe). Particularly useful if you blow up during a marathon or long run

100% everyday runner here and I'm very glad to hear this since I just picked up a pair of Saucony Endorphin Pro 3's (lightly used) for $50 USD! Felt great on my interval session this morning and now reflecting back realized that I felt better during the workout in these then I did previously in my Saucony Endorphin Pro 1's at 375 miles. Appreciate the best review as always!

Although I love the pro 1, the pro 3 is the far superior shoe. I just got a pair a few weeks ago. It’s simply amazing

[@thomasdamato9430]

Chris, first to start off with I love people that are happy in their own skin and that’s you. With that being said your not afraid to say what you feel your opinion doesn’t dance around your opinion about a running shoe, I just learned more in this vlog than I did watching 5 others. You seriously help me make a month long decision thank you man keep it up.

[@FordyRuns]

Ah thanks bud I’m loving this ❤️

[@Chozun]

I use the Takumi Sen 8, now I know there not the full super shoe as it’s not fully Carbon, but as a normal every day runner who’s only long distance interest is a 1/2 marathon. I find them to be absolutely perfect. From speed sessions, to 5/10k race days and even pushing them to the half marathon distance, and now that you can pick them up for less than £100 for me there ideal.

Great minds think alike Fordy . I purchased my Endorphin Pro 3s for 180 pounds 2 weeks ago. The fit of these shoes are just perfect for my feet. My first impressions of these shoes were outrageously good even at slower paces. The most important thing Fordy is the shoe is not controlling my foot strike im in charge of the shoe. I think it's the most fun ive ever had in a running shoe. A super review with sensible advice that will help others in their purchase.

I dfisagree, Fordy. I have three of these and for my money, I go with Puma deviate Nitro Elite hands down. I'd rather feel great the entire run than shave 30 and have my feet hurt... The Puma is fast and hella comfortable and will probably last twice as long as these other more expensive shoes!

[@livegreatalways]

I agree. The Pro 3s are the everyday runner supershoes. It is crazy now that I think the Vaporfly is not enough cushion for the marathon distance considering I used to race a marathon in the adios 3 back in the days when that is the no.1 marathon shoes.😅

[@uvolniavka]

Average runner at 6ft, 200 lbs, Got the Endorphin Pro 3 for the upcoming LA marathon. US size 12.5 feels right for me, while other size 12 shoes are fine. So far did three runs in them, one each weekend before the event - slow 20 something miles, racing effort half marathon distance (107 min), and comfortable 10 miles - total of 40 miles, all of them on the track. (Yes, that's a lot of laps, but trying to keep an abdominal muscle injury in check, so no running on streets until after the marathon). Being used to running in simpler, low to the ground shoes - my favorite is Skechers Razor 3 plus - I find the Pro 3 interesting, but not easy to adjust to. My only disapointment is that after these 40 track miles, there already is visible wear on the outer heel outsole rubber piece. Guess I was heel striking even though conciously trying not to, but I did a lot of miles during these weeks, so I was tired. Still, for someone of my weight, the Endorphin Pro 3 may not last much longer than 100-150 miles.

Definitely with you hear. I got the saucony endorphins pro 3s on major discount, and they are worth every penny. Yes I use them more for training, but that’s because I don’t race much. Still super bouncy, I feel awesome in them, and I’m a total tortoise, so running 3min/km isn’t a requirement for enjoyment.

[@kurtwilson6412]

Bang on - I managed to bag a pair of Adios Pro 3 for £117 - I was slightly concerned as it is supposed to be a long distance shoe but I took it to Yarborough parkrun and took a full minute off my PB - I start a run with a smile on my face nevermind finish 😊

I totally agree on your conclusion Chris … as a 3:45 marathoner having tried 6 different super shoes I’ve returned/sold them all except for the Adidas Pro 3 & Saucony Pro 3. The only thing I’d say is that I find the the Adidas the most comfortable up to marathon distance - the Saucony plate just becomes a little harsh for me from 30k upwards, so I keep that for Half Marathon races

[@Tech-Kino2685]

I either have or did have most of those shoes. And my favorite was the Saucony endorphin pro 3. And the main reason why I would say it the endorphin pro 3 is the winner of all these shoes is because it's a show that can fit pretty every type of foot. Majority of the other super shoes can't fit everyone foot especially people with wide or flat feet.

[@FordyRuns]

Fair play and good points

I like my alphafly 2, but I got a nasty blister on my heel last marathon. Yes I'm an everyday runner (i.e. slower than andy FOD runner). I'm considering asic metaspeex sky+ or adios pro 3 or endorphin pro 3 for my next race. I own all of them and am thankful for that.

[@alexkhan2000]

Of the shoes mentioned here, I have the VF2, PXS, AP3, and EP3, and I agree that AP3 and EP3 are the best all-rounders. But my fave is the PXS as it's so comfortable and fun for the long runs (10~20 miles), which I do twice per week. The only issue I have with the AP3 is the upper. It's hard to dial in the ideal balance between comfort and lockdown. The EP3 is really good but, to me, the ride isn't as engaging and fun as it is on the PXS and AP3. I think it comes down to the Lightstrike Pro foam and the overall fit that just seems to work better for my feet.

To improve the video, be awesome for you to list stack height/weight/price etc on the screen for every shoe. 💯 Okay so I don't have that many super shoes. I did get the first edition of Brooks Hyperion Elites. 6.7 oz and 8mm stack height. I trained in them all summer and at first I loved them. They were not forgiving the next day after workouts or runs. I actually didn't even know that was a thing until doing research on a new pair of super shoes and reading reviews on the different Nike models, and how runners would mention that they felt great the next day (legs, calves, knees). So the Brooks Hyperion Elites 1 did not do any of that. Cost $200 USD oh and Brooks said they were made to run about 50-100 miles only. I've used them a lot longer than that and still have them. I've run in a lot of Sketchers performance models and love the lightweight and lower price point. I have a pair of Sketchers racing flats with a nylon plate (instead of Carbon) and they were only $60 on sale from running warehouse. Com In the US. Okay so I wanted the Nikes or the Saucony's super shoes but couldn't at the price again. What if I hated them like the Brooks? I stumbled upon the Puma Deviate Nitro Elites 1 and the reviews were very very good. Same exact 6.7 oz and stack of 8mm as my Brooks Hyperion Elites. I ordered on eBay from a shop up in the North East corner of the UK for only $96! I should have ordered a half size up but I only read that after they were already on the way. I thought I was going to return them because I could barely get into them with all my normal running socks. But then I tried them on with my thinnest of the thin Nike low ankle socks and I fit. Tried them out and WOW. I'm in love with Puma Nitro Elite 1. These shoes are so amazing. You say Puma is not for the every day runner and that my friend is a lie! They are light and they are fast. They make you feel fresh with no leg or calf soreness the next day. Go smash a workout and run a long run the next day. I'm just shocked. I wish I had them for the last 10 years. Yesterday I ran a 400m X 12 workout in them and the first 4 laps were at 5:50 pace. The next 2 miles of repeats I got gassed at 6:10 pace but it wasn't because of the shoes. This was my first track workout in about 10 years. These Pumas make it seem that you can't run at a slower pace. Like if you want to run at 9:30 pace. You will feel so good and end up at 9 min to 8:30 pace. Last Sunday I knocked out a 5 miler on the track at 7:35 pace. Felt so good the next day. I just can't explain it. Puma Nitro Elite 1 comes in different colors and I think I'll grab a few pairs in Black (but at a higher price $135 USD compared to my all white and blue 💙 Puma logo). I have not yet knocked out any longer runs in preparation for a marathon in the Puma's so I can't attest if they will work for me running 12 to 16-20 milers and race in them. But I'm going to find out shortly. Cheers!

[@djbeama]

Fordy, my halfmarathon pace is around 5:35min/km. Would you say, at that pace, does it even matter to have a "supershoe"? (Last one i ran in nimbus 25). Many reviewers never talk paces or their bodyweight, but ive learned that those factors play a big role when it comes to shoechoice.

Can’t disagree with Adios Pro 3. Awesome shoe at all paces. Didn’t get on the Endorphin Pro 3. Loved the 1 but the foam/plate combo in the 3 hurt my feet! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Deviate Nitro Elite 1 as an entry to carbon plate shoes for runners of any level. Raced it at marathon, half and 10 miles and does a great job. Not the absolute fastest but a great ride. Love it for long runs and even easy paces. If the conditions are a bit ropey it comes into its own too with the awesome grip! Ran a 10 mile PB in a snow and slush fest where the Vaporflys would have seen me on my arse!

[@tono1665]

Hi Fordy, what sort of running pace do you class as an everyday runner. I think your analogy of both the adidas adizero adios pro 3 and saucony endorphin pro 3(my favourite) is 100% spot on as they can comfortably go from warm up pace to race pace. I’ve used quite a lot of the other shoes and you just can’t warm up in them. I normally warm up in easy day shoe then swap over to a carbon plated super shoe except for my endo pro 3’s. I’m currently trialling the wave rebellion pro’s. Keep up the great work and humour that you bring to your reviews👍

100% agree with your choice on this , if one does not do a runner , then the other will , I think the Adidas takes the edge on durability and value for money (due to the quality miles the shoe will give the runner) but the lockdown and fit of the Saucony is hands down better. The only shoe (which you dont have in your collection) which I would give a nod too is the NB SC3 , which for the everyday runner is a viable marathon shoe not quite as propulsive as your top selections but will smoothly get you to that 26.2 ( however .. throw caution and logic out the window , that rebellion pro is a wonderfully mad shoe)

I love my endorphin speeds and am keen to try out the pros but is the toe box narrow? The Vaporflys are too narrow I think for me so comparatively ? In Ireland here btw . Stumbled across you guys by accident - have just figured out when your messing around or serious 😃

[@susanphillips6777]

Have you even tried the NB SC Elite 2? It’s definitely a super shoe for the everyday runner

[@FordyRuns]

Yep we’ve had the SC Elite on the channel. Fuel cell don’t really work for me but it works for many

[@TheHutchRuns]

Superb video Chris as ever, I'd actually say that, if you can still get some, the Vaporfly Next% version 1 is the best super shoe for the everyday runner, I just can't get on with the Endorphin Pro 3 to my disgust and prefer my Vaporfly Next% 2 (which I managed to get for £100)

[@FordyRuns]

Go with whatever works mate

[@theunknown21329]

Surprised you didn't mention the Asics Metaspeed.

[@FordyRuns]

made some vids on them check them out if you have time

[@antoniobatalha9625]

Fantastic review, but my favourite super shoe os Puma Fast-r!

[@FordyRuns]

That’s awesome!!!

[@garyduffy4661]

I got a pair of the Endorphin Pro 3s off a friend who had only run 80km in them, 42 of which were the LM22, they weren't quite wide enough for him, so 'sold' them to me for £100 donated to his favourite charity. They are quick and took minutes off my 5k time last month. I'm unsure as to whether I will use them rather than my Speed 3's for this years LM as I did a 16-mile race in them 2 weeks ago and my feet were absolutely killing me at the end although I did run 15 minutes quicker than I predicted. I want to enjoy it and I can say after 22 miles in the Speed 3s my feet just didn't hurt. Here you see my quandary - do I run faster and have sore feet, or trundle in feeling fan-dabby-dozy?? I've not tried the Adidas and not going to spend more dosh on more shoes - yet!! Maybe after LM if the price of the Adidas comes down a bit I could be tempted. Great take on all of the shoes and you're right, there are bargains to be had when the next gen shoe pops up!

I had numbness in my foot and pains in my quads in a half race... so opted for the VP2 for this weekends marathon. Will def use the pro3 upto 10k

[@anthoniegroothuismink5689]

The Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 does it for me too. I also like the Puma Deviate 2 a lot for my training sessions. Do we see you at the start of the Rotterdam Marathon?

[@FordyRuns]

Not this year I’m afraid it’s on the bucket list

[@JoelLong]

It’s all very confusing and so very expensive. Love the content Fordy!

[@appletree5217]

Love my Adios Pro 3 but the laces ..🤬. Feel like I can never get both feet laced and settled the same way. That being said they’re fast as anything!

[@FordyRuns]

They are terrible I totally agree

[@johnmonaghan9847]

Hi Fordy, going watch this shortly , as yes can be a battle choosing the right supper shoe, just a quick question if you don't mind, last year at Chester Marathon I ran in the Asics Metaspeed Sky+ & just missed out on a sub 3, so thought I would buy the Endorphin Pro 3, which I ran in them last weekend for a marathon in Paphos, Cyprus, but had lace issues being quite long, trying to get the right tension etc, anyway am about to run Manchester marathon, & was thinking of 2 things, either changing my laces from old my old Alphafly's, as like the grips on them laces, then basically putting them into my Endorphin Pros 3, can this be done you recon ?, or am thinking of going back to wearing my Asics Metaspeed sky +, , advice on this would be helpful, but no your a busy man, great to watch your vids, as your always honest & down to earth, keep up the good work 👍 🏃‍♂️

[@kenn6220]

@fordy runs Love your reviews. For us pronators, what would you consider the most stable of the super shoes. Adios pro3, Boston 10/11, new balance sc elite? Or are we better stick to the saucony tempus or something.

[@FordyRuns]

Prob the adidas

[@kenn6220]

@@FordyRuns thanks a mill for reply

[@alfietyrrell140]

Where do you pick up the pro 3 for £157 cheapest I can find is 175

[@laurainthehaute918]

In the end the pose with the perfect pink pair. Nice, Fordy!💖🌷

[@FordyRuns]

Yes! Thank you!

[@uglyfate1326]

Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 probably the best choice for the first super shoe.

[@FordyRuns]

totally agree

[@pennybrown677]

I heard that in the Saucony Pro 3 you need to size up 1/2 a size because it feels tight in toe box. Do you think so?

[@FordyRuns]

Mine fit TTS

[@woidmoasta4673]

How is the Adios Pro 3 in compared to the Saucony Pro 3 ? I have the Saucony Pro 3 at the moment, I think it's pretty good too, but the Adidas would tempt me. Which of the two shoes would you recommend for a 4min 45sec pace per km for a marathon?

[@FordyRuns]

Either will be good

[@manuel_877]

Hi everyone. Excellent review, Fordy. Here is my like. My vote goes to Saucony Endorphin speed 3. Have a great day. 🌤️🏃🌞

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@brandonm4664]

Iron Maiden!!!! Favorite album? For me either Number of the Beast or Piece of Mind.
