SAUCONY ENDORPHIN SHIFT 2: HIGHLIGHTS

UPPER

The biggest difference of this new version with respect to the previous one focuses on the upper part of the shoe. In this version, a better fit of the foot in the shoe is sought in addition to improving breathability, enabling more small perforations in the upper part to facilitate greater breathability than the first version.

Highlight the new TPU reinforcement that incorporates the shoe in the part of the heel that provides more protection and structure of the shoe, ideal for those runners with a greater weight and who need more stability in their running training.

Like the vast majority of major brands, Saucony is also committed to sustainability as one of the most important aspects. For the elaboration of the upper of the shoe, recycled materials have been used.

MIDSOLE AND SOLE

Like its companions of the Endorphin Series, the SHIFT 2, incorporate the technology of Saucony PWRRUN that gives us a great cushioning to guarantee us a good comfort throughout our daily departures and to make kilometers and kilometers without difficulties.

Also highlight in the midsole the SPEEDROLL technology that will give us more reactivity to make the most of each step we make during our training.

The sole of the SHIFT 2 is identical to the previous version, with rubber inserts to increase the durability of it and that, despite being a paver shoe, we also believe that it can work perfectly on easy tracks and trails without technical complications.

SAUCONY ENDORPHIN SHIFT 2: CONCLUSIONS

The Endorphin Shift 2 is the most rolling shoe of the three asphalt shoes that make up the Endorphin series, it is the heaviest and most structured shoe designed especially for our daily training.

The runner with a medium – high weight, who prioritize comfort and stability at fast rates will be the ideal profiles to get the most out of this shoe.

With really high profiles, 38 mm in the back and 34 mm in the front, make it the maximile shoe par excellence of the North American brand. The midsole composed of PWRRUN and SPEEDROLL technology will allow us to make the most of each step.

By prioritizing cushioning and protection over its standard companions, the SHIFT 2 can be used for many kilometers at moderate paces, if we want to run at faster paces with lighter shoes, the Speed 2 or Pro 2 would be more recommended.
We hope to have the shoes on our feet so we can try them out and tell you all our impressions here, in trailrunningspain.com
