As an elite trainer and seasoned runner with a deep appreciation for Saucony footwear, I’ve found the Endorphin Pro 4 to offer an exceptional fit that aligns perfectly with the contours of my foot. This precise fit enhances comfort and performance, making it a standout choice in my running regimen. Given the remarkable synergy between my foot shape and the Endorphin Pro 4’s design, it would be prudent to maintain consistency in my footwear selection. Sticking with the Pro 4 can help prevent potential discomfort or injuries that might arise from frequently switching between different shoe models. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Saucony considers developing an all-weather variant of the Endorphin Pro 4. Such a model would provide runners with the same exceptional fit and performance across diverse weather conditions, further enhancing the versatility of this already outstanding shoe.
Thanks for the great feedback!
I purchased the shoes 3 weeks ago. I bought the dark blue and lime green… They’re light and I love to run in them, but they bruised me. The bruising is where the shoe laces tie… I don’t think the sewing is made properly. If it wasn’t for the bruising, I’d say these are close to perfect -light weight
Purchased these running shoes for a race. The absolute best running shoe I’ve ever owned. I’ve always worn Saucony but these knocked it out the park! Comfortable, you don’t feel like you’re hitting the ground hard at all . Totally worth the money.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 had a revelation for my running sessions. These shoes are an embodiment of speed and agility. Their lightweight design makes faster pace workouts feel less painful. The perfect blend of cushioning and responsiveness truly gives an edge to my performance. For anyone eager to elevate their running experience, the Endorphin Pro 4 are a must-have. Every stride feels like a leap towards greatness. I would recommend this shoe as a race-day shoe for runners just getting into the carbon-plated shoe territory for the first time.
Thanks for your feedback and the recommendation!
These shoes have a bounce that I love! They fit snug and smaller than what I expected. I always run in a 9.0. These fit me more like an 8.5… about half a size small. They’re good for short races but I lost about 4 toenails in them running a marathon in them. Need to size up for the next race. BUT I love the feel of the shoe, how it runs, and how lightweight it is. Definitely will repurchase (but half a size bigger).
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these shoes are the real deal. fitness is my passion and i was SO excited to try these. my first run i took in these was way better than i could’ve even imagined. so breathable and so cushioning. and WIDE FOOT APPROVED
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Love these shoes for speed work and racing. Hit my 5K PR in these! Very light weight, breathable, and true to size. Not the most stable shoe but much more stable than other carbon plates I tried on.
Ran London Marathon in these, didn’t disappoint. Will run Boston in the green pair I just bought.
I love this shoe. Springy. Supportive. Soft. My new favorite.
Awesome! We're happy you love them!
I am so excited that I tried this shoe. I'm normally an "Endorphin Speed" girl, but I liked the previous model more than the newest model. I was hesitant to try the new Pros because I didn't love the Pro 3's. The tongue drove me nuts. It got sucked back into the shoe less than a minute after I put the shoe on...even before I started running. It made them very uncomfortable. They completely fixed this issue in the Pro 4. It is absolutely my new favorite running shoe. I love it so much that, even though it's more expensive, I'll probably use it for my everyday training runs (in addition to speed and race days). It's super springy & surprisingly comfortable. I didn't think about my feet at all during my 5 mile run yesterday.
We are excited to hear you are happy with the Pro 4! Thanks for sharing your feedback.
