I run in Saucony Men's Endorphin Speed 2.
What would be a shoe for under $200 that would add speed?
That is all and thank you.

I would just wait and try to get one of the top tier super shoes on sale
I bought the Nike next % 2 last spring for $149.00
I bought the Nike Alphafly 1 last fall for $156.00
Just last week I bought the Adidas Adios Pro 3 for $125.00
Thanks, so it sounds like any one of those three would be a big speed upgrade?
I know the Speed 2 was a nice upgrade for me last year compared to racing in normal running shoes.
Just about any "Super Shoe".
The Endorphin Speed 2 isn't a "Super Shoe". It's a lightweight trainer with a nylon plate.
You need a racing shoe with a carbon fibre plate.
If you like Saucony, then just get the racing version of the Endorphin Speed: which is the Endorphin Pro. I'd recommend getting the third version, as it's a huge upgrade on the previous models (at least in terms of being a marathon shoe). It's much more cushioned and stable.
I found the Pro 3 for $190. That looks promising
Endorphin Elite is supposed to be faster than the Pro 3 and have a slightly different fit and feel. I've never run in them. But they're also currently pretty scarce and fairly expensive (I don't see any below the $275 retail). I liked my Pro 2, though (which I got at a good discount; some remain available).
Find a store about 5 miles away
Run there
Look in the window at some shoes
Run home
Repeat daily, twice on Sunday
You'll run a faster 'thon. Guaranteed
Buying a faster time🤷♀️
You can still get the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 for way less than $200 and they're faster than the Speed.
You can buy the Adios Boost 2 super cheap these days. Former World Record Shoe with a 2:02 marathon. Cost about $50. Unbelievable value for a supershoe these days!

I’d recommend you try two shoes. Just a shoe will make you run lopsided.
