FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Endorphin Elite 2?
The main benefit is maximum power and explosive performance on race day, achieved through a combination of a full carbon plate and IncrediRUN foam for enhanced reactivity and lightness.
What type of surface are these shoes best for?
They are specifically designed for asphalt surfaces and road racing.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
While usable by anyone, their elite racing design and responsiveness are typically best appreciated by experienced runners focused on competition and speed.
How much do the Endorphin Elite 2 trainers weigh?
They weigh approximately 199 grams.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The drop is 8 mm, with a heel height of 39.5 mm and a forefoot height of 31.5 mm.
Can I use these shoes for everyday training?
It is recommended to use them primarily for racing. Daily training in these shoes may lead to premature wear and tear on the advanced materials and might not provide the comfort needed for lower-intensity runs.
What does 'Neutral Shoe Type' mean?
It means the shoe is designed for runners who do not overpronate (their foot does not roll excessively inward) and provides balanced cushioning and support without specific motion control features.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during stride
Check if any debris is lodged in the outsole grooves. Ensure the carbon plate is intact and not cracked (though this is rare).
Reduced responsiveness over time
The foam may naturally compress with high mileage. Ensure the shoes are used primarily for racing as intended to preserve cushioning.
Slight discomfort on first few runs
Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your foot. If discomfort persists, ensure the fit is correct.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Elite 2 trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure you are wearing the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for neutral runners and are compatible with most running gaits on asphalt surfaces. They are intended for road running and competition use.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Endorphin Elite 2s:
- Cleaning: After runs, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing them for extended periods.
- Usage: While durable for their intended purpose, these are elite racing shoes. Excessive use for daily training or on abrasive surfaces like trails can shorten their lifespan.
