Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Reviews

Bought the Speed 4 for $120; on a first short run it felt amazing, like the first Speed but softer and more comfortable.

Gabrielle Hondorp, despite disliking past Endorphins, found it light, comfortable and gentle on her shin-splint-prone legs. She notes a large arch gap and thin tread that may wear quickly.

They say the Speed 4 upper fits the toebox better than the Speed 3, which had excess material that bunched near the laces.

They have very wide feet and report no fit problems in the Endorphin Speed 4, noting that lacing helps.

Ran 5k in the Endorphin Speed 4 and will race in them this year; excellent fit.

After trying many brands says the Speed 4 is their ideal shoe: super comfortable, responsive and very stable.

Prefers the Speed 4 over the 3, which caused lateral foot pain, and has raced a 10K in it.

Got foot pain in the Speed 3 but has had no problems in the Speed 4.

First 10 miles in the Endorphin Speed 4: comfortable secure upper, soft foam with good energy return, stable, grippy and light.

60+ miles covered, from easy runs to intervals and long efforts, including wet roads. They liked the secure, true-to-size fit with less heel rub than the previous version, the lively cushioned ride and improved wet grip. They found the knitted tongue and lace tabs flimsy, noticed some wobble when running sloppily, and one heel striker wanted more forefoot cushioning on long fast runs. A versatile do-it-all trainer.
