In this segment, the reviewer discusses their experience with the Endorphin Shift 2 and Shift 3 running shoes. They found the Shift 2 to be clunky and hefty, with limited functionality. However, the Shift 3 has notable improvements, particularly in its foam, making it a more stable and versatile shoe for easy runs and high mileage, although not suitable for faster paces.
