MixedAfter 75 miles the Endorphin Speed 4 is fun and fast but too narrow; looking for Speed 2s.

Snappy with a rocker that comes alive at pace, but the narrow fit causes toe pressure for several.

MixedThey say the midsole of the Endorphin Speed 4 feels much like the 3, but the toebox is very narrow and shallow and they had to go down a full size in the womens fit.

MixedAbout 100 miles in a week in them. They loved the light, breathable, secure upper and the bouncy, fresh-legged ride for steady daily miles and workouts, but found the toebox narrow (it aggravated an old friction spot), the heel flare awkward at recovery pace, and the cushioning going flat for a big, powerful runner on 2+ hour runs. Durability looked average to below, with the outsole worn through near 100 miles.

MixedOn a quick 3-mile treadmill test the Endorphin Speed 4 is firmer and snappier than the ES3, fantastic at faster paces but too hard at 10 min/mile, and the curved toe box caused pinky-toe numbness.
Runners mostly find the Endorphin Speed 4 comfortable, snappy and fast, with a rocker that comes alive at faster paces. The narrow fit is the main complaint, causing toe pressure for several. Some find it firm or clunky at easy paces and less suited to the longest runs.
