Purchased 3 pairs as this shoe is awesome. Very comfortable and responsive. Also, it doesn't get clunky when running at slower paces.

Endorphin pro 3 and alphafly 2 are my favorite competition shoes

They are really fast. It just flows, without having to put in an effort the speed is really good. It is unpossible to run slow in these shoes.

Overall

I really enjoy the endorphin pro for road races 10k and below. I also use these for laser run races to great success. They are fast and propel you forward without feeling heavy or too big. I like how light they are, the ventilation keeps the shoe cool as well as drains well if the weather is wet. They are not great for trail running and on trails can be a little unstable. However, they are made for road racing and do well on the track as well.
