Carbon shoes - which one holds up best long term?

put some pep in my step wrote:

I have raced in both the 4% and Next % over the last 3 years and have fairly well exhausted both pairs. I preferred the feel of the 4%, but got used to the Next % over the last year or so.

I intend to get another pair of Next %’s to race some 5k to 1/2 marathons in this spring, but was contemplating trying an alternate option for use in training, depending how well some competitive models hold up long term.

Anyone out there have any experience with or comments on how well the Endorphin, RocketX, Hyperion, Adios Pro, etc?

Will be mostly used for road workouts and just curious how well some of these models hold up to a few hundred miles compared to the Next %’s.

My 4%s have 300 miles on them and are still going strong.

I have an Endorphin Speed (I know you are probably referring to the Pro) and they have held up well through 150. No real signs of breaking down yet. Tempo Next% are my favorite training shoe and they are at like 100% and still feel new.

both Endorphin plate-havin' shoes are very durable, they seem to keep their poppiness a lot longer than at least my Vaporflys did. I haven't worn out a pair of Next% or Alphas though yet

Endorphin Pro seems to maintain its bounce a lot longer than the ZoomX plated shoes.

A friend of mine has 700 miles on Endorphin Pros. I actually thought the upper would fail before the midsole or outsole. Nothing has failed. They are finally not as bouncy as a new pair.

My ASICS Metaracers have ~120 hard miles on them and still feel nice. I'd guess they're good for 300+ before retiring to easy runs.
