Used knock off Mizunos in East Asia for an entire semester with weekly mileage being about 40-60 a week, so a bit under 500 miles.
MRP was 150 RMB, 225 rm for 2 pairs bought the same day. Equivalent of 22-32 USD
Ran in them until my toes stuck out

I like the Endorphin Speed's. I have 200 miles on them and I don't notice any degradation at all. They are one of the softest feeling shoes that I've ever run in, but they do bounce back (I guess) more so than any other shoe that I have worn. I feel that they are too soft to really push the pace, but they are great for long runs with marathon-half marathon pace work. I don't feel as beat up the following day. I think that is what they are best for.
1300+ miles in puma h street, almost 15 years ago

Interesting comment. You think the firmer plate in the Endorphin Pro rectifies that? The VaporFly's are even softer right? But evidently bouncier, and have become a 'go-to' for a lot of folks on race-day.

Skechers with a plate now. I think plates help with the softer bouncy foam across the board. I've only ran in the Endorphin Speed, but without a plate, they would be too soft, IMO- and I like softer shoes.

There are spikeless versions of XC shoes, but the spiked versions with the spikes removed work just fine. I train in XC shoes on roads and they typically don't cost more than $60. The sole lasts forever, at least longer than a typical running shoe. I've been using a pair of Saucony Kilkenny XC shoes and they work well for all my running. Granted, it does take some getting used to if you're not used to minimalist shoes, but the adaptation period is worth it. Knee/shin/hip pain is a thing of the past and my gait is much more efficient (I run low 30's for 10K, and I rarely get injured anymore).
