I have put in 30+kms now since I got the Endorphin Pro last 2 weeks ago and each time I use it, it didn't hurt my long toe on my left foot. It is by far my top choice now among my super shoes considering comfort, weight and performance.
Thanks for sharing your experience & recommedation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Saucony Endorphin pro 4 running shoes are the best and most comfortable shoes I’ve ever tried for running daily and in my latest 5k marathon. They have great support so there’s no discomfort or pain and you can run the distance without having any issues. I’m in love with these shoes and I would definitely recommend them to a friend!
The design, performance, manufacturing quality and weight are more than wonderful. They help increase speeds and are comfortable after the end of the exercise, especially the tiring exercises. Wonderful.
As an older, v slow 5-15K runner, carbon plated shoes seemed overkill for me. I’ve tested a few & they all seemed too aggressive/too much for me. I tried these on the recommendation of my local run store. They fit really well, wider toe box for a “race” shoe, not crazy bouncy or propulsive. I’ve been using the Saucony Endorphin Speed (nylon plate) for a few years as a workout & race shoe, & the Pro is the perfect compliment to that. I raced in them this past weekend & @ 62 came close to PB, & legs didn’t feel beat up! These really work for someone like me.
I went with the EP4 over the Alphafly2 for my most recent marathon and was able to go under 3 hrs and quality for Boston. They felt fast and bouncy right out of the box. The only gripe I have is the durability of the weave upper which is starting to develop a hole near the laces. I have already glued them to stop the tearing. Other than that, everything is great. The outsole has great texture and really grips the road. Overall excellent shoe that I would highly recommend!
I have both the Pro 3 and Pro 4s, and prefer the Pro 3 for its comfort and with a slim foot I fit the Pro 4 has a bit of a bigger toe box. I do think the overall look of the shoe surpasses the Pro 3. But if you have a slim foot and are ) feet and skinny like me the Pro 3 may be your ideal shoe. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I fit it doesn't fit like a true 10.5, I feel like it fits like an 11. My Pro 3 10.5 fit like a true 10.5.
Thanks for the great feedback Spencer!
I brought these amazing sneakers at the end of September to prepare my self for the Philadelphia Rocky Run on Nov.24 I literally put 160+ miles on the already and their still holding up to its quality!!!! Literally the best running shoes that i purchased. I usually wear ASIC so this was a blind buy. The previous views on this current sneaker is what brought me as well
We appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
I love the shoe. I’ve had three pairs, but unfortunately, two of them started falling apart. Heels started peeling after about eight weeks of running on one pair and seems started coming apart between upper and lower left shoe exact same spot on both shoes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoes are super responsive sock liner! But I have to admit the step-in feel is freaking great and I must atttibute some of that to the new fancy insole. I used Thai shoes for a couple of 20 plus mile runs in some tempo pace and it felt great!!!
Thank you for the awesome 5-stars!
Just used these in my 8k race. Good energy return with a firmer feel than other plated shoes. The wider sole provided stability that I appreciate as an over pronator.
