Depends what you're looking for. Do you usually have any issues with stability? Do you prefer bounce or do you want something that is less responsive.
Something like the Glideride Max and Red Hare 9 Ultra are both amazing long run shoes but they sit at complete opposite ends of the spectrum so it really depends on preference.
The RH9U is an amazing shoe if you want incredible bounce and don't care about stability.
The Superblast 3 is great (but expensive) if you want bounce (still noticeably less than the RH9U) and stability, or the Endorphin Azura if you want a firmer ride which is similar to your Endorphin Speeds.
The Dynafish Xiaonian sits somewhere in the middle as a lightweight, fairly stable, smooth and bouncy shoe that is great for pretty much everything. It's my long run shoe and I love it
If you don't want bounce the Qiaodan LH600 is specifically designed for slow, long runs while the Glideride and nimbus both do the relatively soft, low bounce thing well if you're never going to pick up the pace.
Also shoutout the Mizuno Neo Vista 3, it's an absolute tank of a shoe if all you care about is shock absorption. No shoe touches it in that regard without an insane weight penalty
Newest additions:
-ASICS Superblast 3. They really broke in at 15 miles or so and it’s a great max distance trainer. I’m really liking it
-Hoka Cielo X1 3.0. Very aggressive and squeaky. I loved both the 1.0 and the 2.0 but I’m thinking this one isn’t for me. I’ve only done one 7 mile tempo run in them so I need to try them again.
-Mizuno Neo Vista. I keep going back to this shoe. Of the 15 pair I currently have, this is the one that I love for long runs with even a little bit of tempo work
I have SB2 and SB3, and I'm a heavy runner \~195 lbs
I'm on my second pair of SB2 with 300 km and the first one lasted 1000 km, still have it and it still feels good I retired them because of the milestone and because of the color way...
I only have logged about 100 km in the SB3 and they look and feel as good as new. Sole looks good even considering that I run in a very abrasive road.
My previous experience with super soft shoe was Mizuno Neo Vista, Amazing feeling but durability was very poor. Foam deformed and sole had serious flaws after less than 400 kms.
Asics shoes are expensive but I've been loyal since they have a very good durability for my weight. I've own Novablast 4, kayano and Nimbus. All good.
