Good to see a review of these on KZbin. I’d always wondered when I’d seen these and similar whether they were worthy shoes in their own right or just Vaporfly ripoffs. Doesn’t sound like a shoe for me at the moment but I’ll keep my eye out for future releases. Thanks for all the excellent work on the advent calendar. Always enjoy waiting to see what video is next, they’ve all been very interesting so far!

Thank you, Andy! Trying to build the right balance of "surprises" and "usual content" during the calendar, and I'm very happy that you enjoyed it.

Their RC260 seems to be an Endorphin Speed ripoff

@@AlexFilitti it’s been a good balance. The amount you’ve spent on shoes for the channel was humbling. Makes me feel better about my own expenditure. Next time my wife complains about me buying shoes, I’ll show her that one. 🤣

Not really a shoe I need to try but good review as always. Did my first run in the Sen 8 today btw, only an Easy Run but pretty much loved it:)

Should try get your hands on their top of the line Xtep 160X PRO, looks good in the black colour way and has apparently been on the feet of some top Asian runners doing marathon times of 2 hours 8 minutes so should be a more super shoe version.

Sounds comparable to Endorphin Speed because of the flexibility of the carbon plate? Is it similar or if it differs how ?
@KT-ll4tn2 жыл бұрын
Have you taken it out for a long run, Alex? Does it give you extra stress or pressure on your plantar fascia? I am asking as a Chinese reviewer was concern about the bridge at the midfoot area of the shoes. Since the foam and the plate are so soft, the thinner midsole due to the 'bridge' and the dug out X midsole to show the carbon plate, it theoretically weakens the midfoot area and creates an unintended flex point which could stress your plantar during run. Thus am just wondering how you feel about it as theory and actual run experience might differ..

What kind of plate is that? No way could you bend the Endorphin Pro like that!
@AlexFilitti2 жыл бұрын
They say it's a carbon fiber plate. There are so many different ways of making a "carbon plate" (which is never really carbon btw, but some carbon fiber attached to a composite material) that I can imagine the stiffness can go from this (provided it's really a carbon plate) to something like metaspeed where you cannot bend it at all.
