Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 Review
Right out of the box, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 has a sleek and fast aesthetic. The shoe is lightweight, weighing in at around 7.2 oz for men’s and 6.2 oz for women’s, making it an ideal option for long-distance races. The snug fit is enhanced by Saucony’s FORMFIT upper, which adapts to the foot’s shape, offering a personalized, sock-like feel without being too tight. This balance of comfort and precision ensures that your foot stays secure without irritation, even during long runs.
Cushioning and Ride
The midsole is powered by Saucony's signature PWRRUN PB foam. This super-lightweight foam delivers maximum energy return while maintaining cushioning, which is crucial during long-distance runs when fatigue sets in.
In combination with the S-shaped carbon fiber plate embedded in the midsole, the shoe promotes an aggressive forward propulsion, which Saucony calls SPEEDROLL technology. This creates a rolling sensation as you push off, making each stride feel effortless. A faster, smoother, and more efficient ride, particularly beneficial for maintaining speed in the latter stages of a race.
Performance
When it comes to performance, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 shines brightest in race-day conditions. It’s a shoe built for fast paces, making it a top pick for marathons, half-marathons, and tempo runs. The carbon plate combined with the PWRRUN PB foam makes this shoe extremely responsive, helping to reduce fatigue and push for faster times.
For runners aiming for personal bests, the Endorphin Pro 4 is a great choice. It maximizes performance without compromising on comfort or support. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or an elite runner, this shoe gives you a competitive advantage by helping to sustain higher speeds over long distances.
Durability and Traction
While it’s designed for racing, the durability of the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 is surprisingly solid. The XT-900 rubber outsole provides good traction on both wet and dry surfaces, and the lightweight construction doesn’t come at the expense of longevity. That said, this shoe isn’t built for the grind of everyday training—it excels when reserved for race days or key workouts.
The Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 is built for speed and performance, making it a top choice for marathoners and competitive runners. Weighing just 7.2 oz (men’s) and 6.2 oz (women’s), its lightweight design features Saucony’s PWRRUN PB foam and a carbon fiber plate, delivering excellent energy return and forward propulsion. The snug FORMFIT upper ensures a secure, comfortable fit.
