This collection was inspired by Kenya’s magnificent birds.

The Somali Ostrich (Struthio molybdophanes) is found in Northern Kenya and by its size, is an unmistakable bird. We adopted the black and white hues of the male Somali Ostrich’s feathers to make this collection.

For a majority of people, the Endas are true to size.

Great Comfort

I just started running and I must admit that these shoes are comfortable. The shoes are great quality and got these shoes in no time. I'm sure this wont be the last time I purchase shoes from them. Thanks again

I bought the shoes about 3 weeks ago, I have worn the shoes several times and Love the design and look.
I find the quality is good however the fit fells Narrow, I'm hoping this will expand with time and more wear, Otherwise my rating would have been 5 Stars

Lapatet Old Model

I’m a huge fan of the older style Lapatet, they just work and I now have 8 pairs. I used them in a recent 24 hour with no issues. That said I did try the newer version of the Lapatet (Rainbow) in two different sizes and unfortunately they don’t fit.

Lapatet - Sec Bird Runner

As an avid runner who has used top shoe brands, I rate the Lapatet right up there with the best. It gives a smooth run and it feels like it was made for my heel!

Another Great Pair of Enda's

I love the newest additional to my collection of Enda Lapatet's (my third pair)! My Secretary Bird shoe is fantastic! I love the design, look and comfortable fit that Enda gives you. Although they're great for running, they look and feel so good that I have mainly worn them as a casual wear shoe with sweats or jeans...the outer material/fabric is like no other running shoe on the market and the new seamless Waveknit upper has a great feel. I prefer wider toe box running shoes and Enda's give me some of that feel of allowing my toes to naturally splay somewhat and not feel forced into a narrow, pointed design toe box, which is not good for your feet. I also like the lower stack height of Enda's and lower (not zero) drop of the shoes. Finally, in general I like to support Enda as a company due to their commitment to giving back to local communities and their climate neutral initiatives. Keep doing the great work!
