MixedThey got a free pair and use it for speed workouts; it feels like a training shoe with a mild plate rather than a full racer, a decent starter racing shoe for mid-pack runners.

Mixed100 miles of workouts, long runs and track intervals. They found it durable (outsole not worn through), bouncy and forgiving at marathon effort and above, and one of the more stable neutral racers, with a roomy upper that suits higher-volume feet. The stiff forefoot did not transition well for them at 10K to half marathon tempo pace, and they had to tighten the laces hard to lock in, though it felt best at 5K track pace.
Runners find the Endorphin Pro 4 a comfortable, roomy and stable plated shoe that works for racing from 5K to the marathon. Many rate it below the Pro 3 for energy return at faster paces. A few report a loose heel or upper, and some saw the upper wear early.
