Customer Reviews Saucony Endorphin Speed 4

Quickly have become my favorite pair to grab for really anything. I dont like the feel of a carbon plate so the nylon plate offers a reasonable compromise. Just ran a Half and everything hurt afterwards except my feet!

I have used all the previous versions of this shoe, they were my favorites. Dont enjoy this new version, find it less responsive, like flat footed. I feel calf discomfort when running with them. Maybe I will try the Kinvara Pro?

Still not speed 1, but way better than 3. Need to feel better the plate and be a little more responsive. Excellent toe box ! I have flat feet, and Saucony is best for me feet.

Ive been running in Saucony shoes for a few years. Love the product. The latest pair was sent to my house but either stolen before I could pick up the package or delivered to the wrong house. I contacted customer service who told me to file a police report. No apology, no offer of a discount for another pair. Was really looking forward to my latest pair, unfortunately never even got to try them on.

Markedly less shoe under foot and while I am sure it's in the vein of making a very light shoe this new version feels far less supportive than the "3". Like most shoe companies, they have ruined a good thing by refusing to leave it alone.

Ive been running with these for about a month, theyre super light and springy but the toe box is a little too narrow for me.

No idea what they changed but I have several thousand miles in the endorphin speeds and this new generation 4 has my calfs hurting like crazy.

I find the shoes quite inflexible and actually hurt my back when running in these

Toebox fairly narrow. Impacts comfort a little bit

After 42 miles, these are better than the Speed 3, but still not as good as the Speed 2. The quality of material is good; lightweight and minimal while still offering enough structure. Good cushion and energy return from the sole, though they look a little goofy from the side profile. Plenty of ventilation for air exchange in the toe box, and the fit is very consistent with the other Speed models. The Speed 3 was too stiff and stride-correcting and I absolutely could not wear them. I gave them away and scoured everywhere to stock up on 2s for a year to get through the 3 model year. The 4 fits and feels more like the 2, and is not as stiff or stride-correcting, but I find myself scraping my heel just a little, and my adductor/gracillis (inner thigh) muscles get very fatigued for some reason. I do not experience either with the Speed 2 or Pro 2, and have run through 17 pairs of them in the last couple years. After 5-6 runs in these 4s, I found 2 more pair of Pro 2 to hoard away and will probably start to search for another brand to incorporate into the rotation. Wish y'all would bring back the 2s. I am 51 and run 35-40 miles per week at a 7:35 pace with 350-400' of elevation gain in a 5 mile run, and typically get 230 miles out of a pair of Saucs.

Been running in the Endorphin Speeds since the speed 2. I thought the speed 3s were better than the 2s and these are even better. Light weight, fast and stable. Love em.

I loved the Speed 3. 5K-Marathon was great for me. Marketing all says the 4 should be better. But it's not. The tread is useless on damp ground or treadmills. The bounce is meh. The rocket plate is fine but that doesn't really seem to benefit my running style.

Already wore off just 2 runs the fabric isnt holding up

These shoe are a game changer for me as I get back into running. I use them for tempo runs, speed work and plan on running my marathon in them. They are very responsive, fit TTS, the nylon plate is aggressive while you can still control and balance.

Bought my speed 4s a month ago and once again I am extremely happy with the endorphin line of shoes !!!

I lost my saucony right after I received them. I left the shoes on top of my trunk and I drove off. Is there any other way you guys can kindly send new shoes to me? I never got a chance to wear them. I can give you guys every proof that it is lost. I have a clip of a video via security cam.

Purchased for my son who runs track/XC we are huge fans of the Endorphin speed 3s (10 pairs purchased between 5 family members in 6 months) these are not the same; unfortunately he has rolled his ankle3 times in two weeks, we bought 2 pairs, I will be returning one on the pairs.

I normally wait longer before writing a review, but 9 runs/50 miles in, I can say with confidence that this is an amazing shoe. It has the cushioning I need, but is super light weight compared to other cushioned shoes and more responsive, where I can work on picking up my cadence. Having ran 400+ miles in my EndSp3s Im thankful for the quality Saucony builds I to their shoes. Great all around shoe to train and race in.

So far , the best and most versatile daily trainer Ive used this year (the upper was improved, more snug, vs speed 3). I am a non elite, older runner. The combination of midsole foam and the softer plastic plate provides great balance between performance, cushioning and protection. Defo recommend for speedier and longer efforts.

I bought the new shoes but was out of town when they arrived. When I returned home the package had been delivered but was nowhere to be found. I reached out to Saucony customer service and they said they would look into it with FedEx and get back to me on next steps. I never heard back. While I understand that this situation is out of Saucony's control, I was really disappointed in the customer service. To get no response and no help from them after spending almost $200 was a pretty big slap in the face. It felt like they did nothing to look out for me as a customer. I'll probably look elsewhere to buy a new pair of running shoes.

The shoes look great. Unfortunately, they are too narrow in the toe box for me. Giving 2 stars since your customer support said there are no plans to make a wide width of the speed 4.

Bought these after I purchased my ride 17 and I love the confront and response of these shoes during my speed sessions

The Endorphin Speed series has been my overall favorite in the running line. Light, responsive and fit to size. The Speed 4 doesnt disappoint with the nylon plate, great comfort I will run Pittsburgh in this shoe and Buffalo 3 weeks later. Keep pumping out this amazing sneaker.

I like the Speed 4s. They are pretty light and responsive. They have good tread that allows for road, dirt, and trail running. I work at a law enforcement police academy and they are the go to shoes for the tactical staff. They transition well between running on road and trail and during calisthenic exercises. I wear these during weight training, HIIT workouts, and track work. Ive had the 2s, 3s, and 4s. The 2s are my favorite, and I definitely like the more narrow toe box than the 3s. Shoes hold up well and are my daily shoe for the diverse workouts. I recommend these shoes to the staff and students.
