Great review Andy, i love the 2's, very nimble and fast on sessions. I found the 3's a bit less racey feeling, still good, but less pop and slower turnover. Ive yet to try the 4's, hoping they arent worse than the 3's?
@@fodrunnerextra The 3 is a bit ridiculous. While being less responsive than the 2, it it wider in the midfoot and (even) tighter in the toebox. I just tolerated them for one HM run. Then I replaced my 2s with the Vanish Tempo and never looked back to any toe-squeezer again. 🙂
I had a similar experience with the Hoka Mach X. I hated the shoe out of the box and would only use it every once in a while. After about 70ish miles it feels like a different shoe and I actually find myself wanting to use it more. Maybe it's because I'm fitter and can load the plate better.... 😂
TYR Valkrie Speedworks seems to be based on Endorphin Speed 2. If you get a chance to review them (and have your size) that would be great. I don't know if you reached out to TYR for Valkrie Speedworks and Elite Carbon model shoes. They are 5mm drop shoes like Mach 6 but otherwise very similar to older Speed 2 design.
I prefer the rebel v4 (have a wide foot) , but speeds are a dependable shoe.
Keep going back and forth between picking these up or the Mach 6s

Same as the 3s buddy in that respect…. Stick to the 1 and 2 if you can find any more for speed!

Ah I found just the same for one of my recent videos.
That toe box taper 💔
Hardly anyone notices a problem here and for me it disqualifies any shoe immediately-no other feature matters if my toes get the traditional squeeze.
I love my Speed 3’s.
It means you've got to gain more experience in running shoes.
