Plated Shoes

Carbon plate running shoes are designed to help athletes of all levels move faster, more efficiently and with less effort. By integrating a stiff plate, typically carbon fibre into the midsole, these shoes create a more propulsive feel that helps drive you forward with each stride. The plate works alongside responsive foams to reduce energy loss, improve turnover and deliver a smoother, faster ride, making them a go-to across both men’s running shoes and ladies' running shoes.

The Saucony Endorphin Speed offers a more versatile take on speed. Built with a nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning, it delivers a responsive yet slightly more forgiving ride, ideal for workouts, tempo runs and everyday training. Combined with SPEEDROLL technology, it creates effortless forward momentum and smooth transitions, making it a strong option within our men’s road running shoes range.

For race day performance, the Saucony Endorphin Pro collection steps things up with a slotted carbon fibre plate. Paired with a dual-layer midsole of PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG, it maximises propulsion and energy return, helping you maintain speed over longer distances.

At the top of the lineup, the Saucony Endorphin Elite is built for pure speed. Featuring a full carbon fibre plate and incrediRUN foam, it gives runners maximum efficiency and responsiveness, allowing the midsole to compress and rebound faster for powerful performance.

From race-day setups to full kits including ladies running tops, carbon-plated shoes like the Endorphin Speed 5, Pro 5 and Elite 2 give runners a clear edge when it matters most.
