Features
Make it to the finish line in a flash with the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4.
Streamlined for race day, the Endorphin Pro 4 is built for speed. With updated cushioning, an improved race-ready upper and a new outsole design, your runs will feel faster than ever. The carbon plate and rocker geometry propel you forward in a flash to help you break those personal records.
Details:
- Upper: An improved race-ready design that has a smooth heel liner and integrated tongue. In our Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 review, Ashley said “The upper in the Pro 4 is light and airy. In some ways, it feels like I’m wearing a sock with a sole. And honestly, I can’t think of a better feeling for a fast workout and race-day shoe than that!”
- Midsole: There is a new dual-cushioning system in the Endorphin Pro 4 that uses PWRRUN PB Pebax-based foam combined with PWRRUN HG foam which is Saucony’s most energy-efficient foam. The result is a shoe that is super lightweight, cushioned and energetic. Saucony combined these foams with their snappy SPEEDROLL technology that provides for fast, forward motion while the trusted carbon plate gives you a smooth turnover and more efficient strides.
- Outsole: A new lattice-designed outsole provides for smooth runs and more traction on the road when you are racing at breakneck speeds.

Finally, they updated the upper by giving it a race-ready design, a silky smooth heel liner and an integrated tongue for a connected, secure fit.

Great shoe and customer service
I bought these online and they were 1/2 size too small. I had used a $15 reward and, since I was going to return these, I wanted to purchase the current size before I got my refund. Contacted customer service who walked me through the return process and applied the credit to my account so I could use it toward purchase of the correct size. As far as the shoe, they are the best pair of running shoes I have purchased.

High Performance running shoes
I love these shoes. These are my 2nd pair. They are light, they have just the right amount of cushion with great geometry for speed and plated for responsiveness. I have run in Nikes, New Balance, Adidas, Brooks, and the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4's. Every time I run in these Pro 4's I find them really wonderful and responsive to run in.

First Carbon Plate
All I can say is wow! These are my first pair of carbon plated shoes and they are fast. Had to slow myself down a few times, but they do work better at faster paces.
