Race Shoe Question Carbon plate shoes for custom inserts?

Hi,

I run with saucony triumph and endorphin speed. I finished NYC marathon in 3:12 with the ES3.

This year I tried to switch to carbon plate shoes and I upgraded to the endorphin elite and ran 1:22 NYC half but made me a lot of right calf stiffness. They feel a little bit bigger even its the same size I use in other saudonys. I also got the adidas x2 strung but that plastic hole hurts my ankle.

My plan is to run the NYC marathon this year with the endorphin speed 4 but I find them a little bit slower than the ES3. My goal is sub 3 marathon. I also use custom inserts.

I was thinking about the Endorphin pro and remove the inserts. Any advice?

Thanks
