Saucony Men's Endorphin Speed 4

Though spendy, these shoes do their job well and I would purchase them again.They're light, and have reasonable cushion with a nice slight bounce to them. They do encourage you forward a bit when you lean into your run, but not so much that it's weird on your form. I don't think you even notice it when you're just walking. Overall, I'd say impressively well balanced between all the elements that make up a great pair of running shoes for me. I suspect they'll wear quick, but who knows!Also, I've run through a misty rain twice and noticed adequate traction compared to other shoes.

Up to 100 miles and two 5k’s, one half marathon in these , half was in rain and they are holding up good . Very comfortable and no blisters

These are nice shoes and work just fine for the amount of running that I do (10-20 miles a week). Some may even say they are a bit overkill for what I do. I have been running and working out in Sauconys for over five years now. I was surprised by how flimsy the soles felt in my hands. When running on them, they feel normal, but handling them feels like you're going to rip the sole off.

These shoes are very Nice in My opinión i have been used another marks in shoes but Sauconny are very good in all!!

I have problem in my legs but this shoes is really great

Retuned. I have the version 3 and the 12.5 wide was a little big, so I thought this version 4 size 12 would work..Nope!Way too narrow. No way I could fit them.Idk why they didn't make a wide version...I'm not a fan of the colors also. All light colors except 1 black with white... disappointed..The shoe smells like chemicals or plastic.I guess I'll just buy another version 3.......

Good shoe

A brief run down on shoes before I discuss the ES4. Note that I'm an old dude and my high mileage weeks are only 40-45 miles; I generally only do one speed workout a week. I'm old!I train by heart rate but still observe my pace to heart rate and notice how shoes can affect my pace. I consider myself to have a wide foot but usually not so bad that I need to buy the wide version of shoes.* Endorphin Speeds 1 & 2: hands down my all time favorite shoe. I actually couldn't tell the difference between the two. Propulsive yet cushioned, these were great for my slow easy runs and my speed workouts. I found I could run in a low heart rate (zone 2) and yet still average around a 9:20 (good period) to a 9:40 (bad period). They fit just a little tight around the toe box area but I'd only feel it if my form sucked and I was running slowly.Slow/easy runs: very goodWorkouts: excellent* Endorphin Speed 3: I felt this was a slightly slower shoe with a bigger platform. I never liked to walk around in the ES 1 & 2 as it was wobbly at walking paces but I could walk in the ES3. My paces were just a touch slower than the ES 1& 2 by like maybe 5 seconds or so per mile across all heart rate zones. It had a wider toe box so I never felt discomfort but I think the added "girth" of the shoe compared to the ES 1&2 made it less propulsive somehow.Slow/easy runs: excellentWorkouts: very goodAnd now to the ES4. The pros are that it feels more propulsive than even the ES 1 & 2. My paces are around 10 seconds faster than those shoes. However the toe box is narrow on my foot causing rubbing on my pinkie toe and my foot expands the upper so much that it partially extends over the sole of the shoe. In other words, if I look at the shoe from above, I can see my foot spilling over the sides of the shoe. The other thing is that it seems as if the shoe rewards heel striking. When I run slowly, I land on my forefoot and these feel like they have no cushion up front. Whereas there's a ton of foam on the back including a huge protrusion on the heel. I have to consciously over stride and land on the bulky heel of the shoe for these not to feel like I'm running in a life style shoe not meant for running. Oh and even when I land on the most cushioned part of the shoe near the back, it still doesn't feel as plush as the earlier Speeds.Because of the way they feel, I'm going to relegate these shoes to speed work only and for shorter runs (6 miles or less).Slow/easy runs: nopeWorkouts: excellent but I can't do anything long due to the harsh landing and fit of the shoeOn a side note, I tried the NB Rebel V.4. These feel like the ES 1 & 2 when landing; they've got great cushion when you strike the pavement. And yet, regarding fit they're more like the ES3 and oh, so comfortable. Unfortunately without a plate they lack the propulsive feeling. The shoe is light enough for a fast turnover but because of the lack of push, you're not getting the same speed you would out of a plated shoe. If only New Balance would offer a plated Rebel, this would be my ES 1 & 2 replacement!

These are so good. Never realised a pair of shoes can make such a difference. I’ve since ordered another pair and the Pros too:Can run faster for longer as there isn’t as much force going through my knees due to the recovery from the carbon blades

Super Laufschuhe, perfekt für schnelles Training.

My favorite shoe out of dozens I have in my rotation. Makes me considerably faster without any additional effort.
