So what’s the best shoe for fast reps in workouts, not easy miles and not just for racing.
As it’s meant for training, stability would be nice, so would durability and overall performance obviously matters too.
What shoe would you guys say is the best? I’m leaning towards the endorphin 3 myself
For fast reps in workouts, you should look for a shoe that offers cushioning, flexibility, and stability. The Nike Free Metcon 3 is a great option as it has a lightweight design and provides plenty of stability, durability, and overall performance. It's also comfortable enough for everyday wear.
I bought a pair of adidas adizero adios in 2012 and have done everything from 200m repeats to 5 mile races in them. I used the same pair for a 8 x400 workout several months ago. I feel like running some of my interval work in conventional shoes helps maintain my basic form and strength
Carbon Fiber shoes are probably a better choice if you are looking for a shoe for long tempos. They are just faster and easier on your legs, particularly over longer distances. For carbon fiber shoes, I would train in the same shoe you race in. If you have durability concerns, just buy two pairs.

I had never owned the adios, thinking at the time that there were better shoes for my needs. For a good 3 years I wore the Nike Streak 6/7. When I grew tired of the Streak 7, I tried the Asics Tartheredge, but it was nothing special. The Takumi Sen (5-7) are great, but a little on the thin side outside of track work. Really excited to try out the adios 7.

Adios 7 is nothing like the older Adios. It´s a lightweight trainer, not a flat. It´s more like the older Adidas Boston.
Gonna second streakfly. Looks like supply issues are gone and it can even be discounted sometimes. Very light, very responsive and yet very well cushioned. Pretty decent as a race day shoe, too. I'd say one of the most versatile shoes right now. NB Rebel v2 is also decent, feels softer than anything ZoomX while managing to be about as responsive. But at least for me they fell apart after just 200 miles. I got more out of Vaporfly which supposedly desintegrates after one marathon! Maybe current v3 is more durable.

Are the streakfly really that good? I’ve read reviews where the reviewers fault them for being too flexible and for not being snappy enough at faster paces. This is what has me a fence when it comes time to get a proper go-fast shoe, as the adios 7 is not going to cut it. The takumi sen 8 is another shoe I have in mind.

This might have some truth to it, but I would still say they're that good. Mind you I'm a hobbyjogger marathoner so I don't do real 'fast', 34-36" 200s are prob the fastest sort of training I do. Streakfly is at least on par with Asics TartherEdge for this kind f training, the most minimal shoe I own.

How did your Rebel V2s fall apart? Mine tore on the inside near my forefoot on both shoes after about 350 miles though I ran another ~150 miles in them before fully retiring them. The tears happened along a thin portion of the upper fabric where it meets the midsole The guy at the local New Balance store said that I very likely was wearing shoes about a 1/2 size too small (I had ordered the V2s online) and had me try on the next size up in the V3 which he noted did run small. The larger size does fit nicely and my wide feet have a bit more space. The V3 is also noticeably reinforced in the same area my V2s ripped.
I like the Reebok Run Fast and the old Adios (with boost foam). Too bad they don't make either anymore. The Nike Streakfly looks like it might be a decent replacement once I get through my stockpile.

I've got some $ saved up for new shoes. I've got the shoes for competing but am not happy with my current shoes for training. I like a medium to high top. Any suggestions? Are cross-trainers the best?
