Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 Reviews

Raced two halves in it: a step up with the plate, yet still stable and fairly firm.

Preferred it as a beginner racer; stable, even medially biased.

Their race shoe and probably the most stable racer.

A stable, controllable first super shoe with great traction, propulsive but understated. It falls short of rivals on outright bounce and versatility. A stiff overlay caused a pinky-toe blister on the first 10-miler.

At 6'4 and 226lb, likes the Endorphin Pro 4 after 45 miles: wider and more stable than the EP3, with no slipping in puddles.

Ran their first marathon in 3:58 and found it a beautiful, quite stable super shoe.

Their first carbon shoe, the Endorphin Pro 4, has been great: a 5 km PB and comfortable and stable on longer runs.

Four testers ran from about 40 miles to 65 km each, across intervals, progression runs, marathon-pace workouts and easy miles. They found it comfortable, stable and well cushioned, with a smooth ride that looks after tired legs late in a marathon, but a bit soft and less punchy than top carbon racers. Getting a secure lockdown took effort (one needed the top eyelets to stop heel slip) and the tongue felt flimsy. An accessible carbon racer.
