The same might be true over shorter distances, especially 5Ks, though I have found that the Alphafly runs far lighter than it looks and is still a great 5K shoe. That there is a decision to be made at all is testament to the Endorphin’s brilliance, and I do think it’s a more versatile shoe than the Alphafly. Add that to the fact that at £190 it’s £70 cheaper than the Alphafly and £50 cheaper than the Vaporfly, and you have a package that will appeal to an awful lot of runners who have been starved of top-tier non-Nike options of late. Sadly, one other thing the Endorphin Pro has in common with the Vaporfly and Alphafly is how difficult it is to get hold of at the moment.
However, since there aren’t any races to use it in anyway, you can wait a little longer for stocks to appear without missing out too much. The other shoes in the Endorphin collection – the Speed, which is a fast training shoe with a TPU rather than carbon plate, and the Shift, which is for easy running and has PWRRUN+ foam in the midsole rather than PWRRUN PB – are both due to launch on 1st July, so there might well be more Pro shoes in stock then too.The Saucony Endorphin Pro had a limited release during the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta and Big Peach Running Co. was the exclusive retailer for this limited release.
It is now available globally (as of June 1st) including our stores. The Saucony Endorphin Pro is the most anticipated running shoe for 2020 and we’ve got a complete review for those looking for a fast shoe. The idea of inserting a carbon plate into a shoe has been around for a long time but only in the last 2 years have we seen the introduction of this technology into most major brands.
