Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Women's review: what runners say
Fit
True to size, standard toebox. Wide-footed runners should consider going up a half size.
Feel
Balanced ride between responsiveness and moderate cushioning: PWRRUN PB with flexible nylon plate. More pronounced and faster than the v3, less propulsive than carbon-plate options.
Durability
Estimated 500–600 km for runners under 75 kg. XT-900 outsole with exposed central zone that tends to pick up dirt but holds up over time.
Best for
Quality training, tempo runs, and intervals up to the half marathon. Also works as a daily trainer for runners who prefer ground feel over maximum cushioning. Suited to runners at roughly 4–5 min/km pace.
Weak points
The flexible nylon plate limits propulsion compared to competitors with stiffer plates. The $170–200 price point is flagged as high by multiple sources, with solid alternatives available at lower prices.
