Role suitability
How well this shoe covers each job in a rotation, judged editorially against the rest of the catalogue.
DAILY
Covers the bulk of easy and steady miles.
RECOVERY
Holds up on the slowest, most protective days.
LONG RUN
Built for long, steady efforts.
TEMPO
Works at faster, controlled paces.
RACE
Fast enough for race day.
Ride and notes
Less propulsive than a super shoe and happier at controlled-fast paces. A good workhorse for runners who do structured sessions.
Who it suits
Runners who want one faster shoe that can take training miles, not just race day.
Worth comparing with
The Endorphin Speed 5 is bouncier; the Magic Speed 4 is more race-focused.
Fit
Standard fit.
