Saucony Endorphin Pro 4

Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 review: what runners say

Fit

Tapered toe box: go half a size up from usual. Heel and midfoot are true to size; narrow forefoot penalizes wide feet.

Feel

Soft, stable cushioning with good energy return at marathon pace. Less responsive than the v3 at faster paces; the Speedroll delivers a smooth transition.

Durability

Rubber outsole showed minimal wear after testing; estimated minimum 400 km before demotion to training duty. Among the most durable outsoles in the category.

Best for

Race shoe for mid-pack runners and heel strikers; suited to the marathon and long runs. Faster athletes seeking maximum responsiveness should look at the Endorphin Elite.

Weak points

The integrated tongue bunches under the laces — flagged by multiple testers. Weight increased slightly over the v3 (from 210 g to 220–241 g depending on the source).
