Hoping for some suggestions from knowledgeable shoe guys/gals. My daughter had a Saucony Endorphin Pro, loved it. Time for a new road racing shoe. She has since had a few ankle sprains playing BBall and I am a little concerned about big stack heights or otherwise "unstable" super shoes. Any knowledge out there for a slightly more stable end of spectrum?foam/carbon shoe? A review mentioned new Endorphin maybe being a bit unstable. Any suggestions? Much thanks.

Streakfly? I cant tell from Nike descrip if ist a carbon/foam supershoe or something different? Why is it different than the Pegs or the big vapor/next%s? Is it sort of in between? I like the low stack.
Why not get Endorphin Pro 2? Functionally same as Pro.

Read that it was unstable. But that was one review. But freaked me a little. Is it the Adidas takumi Sen 8 that is pretty low profile, anyone have experience there? Seems maybe decent 5K shoe? 33mm stack? I do recall some horrifying experiences from some with earlier generation Adidas supershoes? I was considering the Sen 8.
Endorphin Pro 2 is same as Endorphin Pro, but with (I believe) minor lacing change. I find it to be stable, more stable than Saucony Triumph.
The most stable carbon plated shoe that I've found is the New Balance RC Elite 2. That being said, that shoe's sweet spot is generally marathon pace, and it's clunky for anything faster.
I run in the Takumi Sen 8 some - it's a bit unstable in the heel, though better than some other plated shoes. It's also slightly flexible in the forefoot, which makes it feel a bit more stable on toe-off.
