The Saucony Endorphin Speed 6 arrives with a promise that should please runners: maintaining the versatility of the Speed line while adding underfoot comfort. Whether for a tempo run, intervals, or a steady effort, it is designed to keep up with your training pace.
What's new on the Speed 6?
The main update is found in the midsole. The PWRRUN PBX foam replaces that of the Speed 5 and is accompanied by 2 mm of extra cushioning, with no reported increase in weight. The goal: to provide a feel that is both softer and more responsive.
The nylon plate has also been redesigned to make transitions more dynamic. It adds bounce to your stride while remaining more flexible than a carbon plate. This is what makes the Speed 6 an interesting option for runners who want speed without reserving their pair solely for competitions.
Finally, a new lightweight and breathable mesh upper aims to hold the foot better when the pace increases. Rubber placed in key areas of the outsole completes the shoe for road training.
For what type of runner?
The Speed 6 is aimed at those who like to vary their pace with the same pair. It naturally finds its place in fast sessions, but its extra cushioning also makes it attractive for logging miles at a more relaxed pace. When preparing for a half-marathon or marathon, it can become the shoe you choose when the workout requires as much comfort as it does responsiveness.
Fast when you push, comfortable when you ease off: that is the idea behind the new Endorphin Speed 6. An evolution to keep an eye on if you are looking for a training shoe capable of doing it all.
