Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 running shoes
8.5/10 (Expert Score)Overall, the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Running Shoe is a great running shoe for fast or part distance training, and you can wear it in races if you need to. Lightweight, good stability, good and secure foot support, good breathability. Slower than a running shoe designed specifically for a race, such as the Saucony Endorphin Pro, but can be a great choice for training for a race.
Description
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 running shoe is a fast, lightweight running shoe with a carbon plate and very good traction. Despite the carbon plate in the midsole, it has good torsional flexibility due to the special geometry of the midsole. Its popularity is due to its versatility, so if you don’t want to buy a separate racing shoe, the Endorphin Speed 4 will let you race in addition to your fast workouts, even though it’s not a racing shoe. Compared to the previous version, it’s a bit stiffer and a bit more stable, but it also feels faster. If it was a little more durable, it could be a more everyday shoe.
The upper of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 running shoe is made of a double layer mesh material. The outer layer has large holes, which makes the shoe extremely breathable. The mesh upper is lightweight and optimised for performance, but also comfortable, helped by the Super Responsive Sockliner insole. The tongue of the shoe is made of a mesh material fixed on both sides, with good breathability. There is less cushioning on the tongue, but the top, where it’s important not to bite, is padded. The heel collar is moderately padded, stiffer at the bottom and softer at the top, so it holds the foot well but doesn’t bother the area around the achilles. Overall, the shoe holds the foot very well, which is essential for fast runs. The regular version tends to be a narrower design, but there will also be a wide version of the shoe.
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Running Shoe Midsole is made of PWRRUN PB (PEBA) foam with a winged Nylon plate. PWRRUN PB (PEBA) foam is a lower density EVA foam that is more durable, lighter and more flexible. The foam is slightly stiffer than the previous version, halfway between soft and hard. The PWRRUN PB’s not-mediocre energy dissipation is improved by the Nylon plate, which is more flexible than a carbon plate, so it stiffens the shoe less, but can give less energy and momentum than a carbon insert. The midsole geometry is a rocking, cradle-like rocker geometry, which Saucony calls SpeedRoll technology. With the Nylon insert, the SpeedRoll design accelerates the roll over, giving the shoe extra speed. A trough runs down the middle of the midsole, which both improves the torsional flexibility of the midsole and makes the shoe more stable from both sides. The stability of the shoe is further improved by the fact that the midsole is slightly stiffer than in previous versions. Overall, the midsole isn’t as fast as a racing shoe, but it’s not as stiff either, so if you’re looking for a fast shoe that
The outsole of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 running shoe is made from Saucony’s XT-900 rubber compound, which has good grip and is durable. The grid pattern outsole at the toe provides extremely good traction, which further enhances the speed of the shoe. On either side of the heel section, there are only two semi-circular outsoles that do not cover the edge of the midsole, so those who come in heels will quickly experience wear and tear on the midsole. A
Overall, the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Running Shoe is a great running shoe for fast or part distance training, and you can wear it in races if you need to. Lightweight, good stability, good and secure foot support, good breathability. Slower than a running shoe designed specifically for a race, such as the Saucony Endorphin Pro, but can be a great choice for training for a race.
