    SAUCONY ENDORPHIN PRO 4 INITIAL REVIEW - TOP TIER RACE & TRAINING SUPER SHOE of 2024 - EDDBUD
    An initial review of the latest SAUCONY running shoe the ENDORPHIN PRO 4.
    A maxed out stack of PEBA based pwrrun pb and hg foam here in the new iteration of the MARATHON RACER the ENDORPHIN PRO 4.
    Though i find this version more usable across the paces from marathon effort to 5k. The addition of the PWRRUN HG foam from the ENDORPHIN ELITE really elevates this one above the previous version.
    A touch heavier by a gram or two, but the outsole is much improved and it makes the PRO 4 a really good option for those who dont like the direction of the VAPORFLY 3 from NIKE.
    They have sent this one over to me for review, but they wont be seeing my video before my valued viewers, nor are they paying me to make this video.

    Endorphin Pro 4 seems promising. Just bought a pair of Endorphin Pro 3 a couple of weeks ago and it is the most comfortable long distance shoe I've worn. I just love it. My plantar fasciitis can also tolerate the plate. In fact I can barely feel there is a plate in it. I'm currently preparing for my first half marathon coming up on the 10th of March and will run in the Pro 3. Great review Edd, as always!

    Sounds like a good update. Less clear if it is actually a faster shoe than before and a bit unclear where Saucony are pitching this compared to the Elite. The Elite & Pro 3 I found more similar than say a VF or AF for instance. Sounds a Pro 4 versus the rest vid will be good. Got the Speed 4 and am liking it but not finding it that different to the 3. The Pro 3 and Speed 3 felt like was a definite distinction. Sounds like they have kept that.

    • @EDDBUD

    Generally I'm not a fan of lace loops but if it achieves a good lockdown and doesn't fall apart then I'm ok with it. Looks like an excellent update and I do welcome a slightly more roomier toe box too. And aesthetically I do love the suede elements and the improved outsole. Saucony might have yet another winner. I am really looking forward to the Endorphin Elite update whenever it drops.

      Think that we are in for a long wait (another year) for the Elite 2 aren't we, or is there a slight upper change coming this year, or just new colourways?
      I grabbed a 2nd pair of Elites in White for under £172 recently. Will be wearing my 💚💚 ones for my 3rd and maybe last Marathon at Paris before probably using them as a shorter distance race shoe and wearing the White ones for any autumn/winter Marathon + Boston 2025.

It was priceless when you asked him about his musical preference as he wrecked his body over and over suffering unspeakable pain and body disfiguration - no doubt you thought it would be AC DC Highway to Hell or Midnight Oil - The Beds Are Burning. Your reaction was priceless when he said Country and Western 🤣 For me the funniest moment on your channel!

    I'll try this one for sure. The Pro 3 was an excellent marathon shoe for me. For HM pace though, I felt it took a little more effort for leg turnover on the push off due to the softness of the midsole.

      ​​@@EDDBUDAfter my initial run in them, I wasn't too impressed with them. They do feel a little different in the forefoot. It doesn't feel as cushioned in the forefoot as the Pro 3 or as propulsive. I didn't care for the Endorphin Elite and the Pro 4 has a layer of HG in it. The upper on the Pro 3 wraps around the foot much better and feels more secure. I tested the shoe at 6:50 to 8:30 pace. I'll most likely return them.

    Superb review as always. I’ve had two pairs of the Pro 3 and can’t wait to try them. I hope they didn’t change the shape of the plate in the pro 4 like they with the Speed 3 vs Speed 2. The speed 3 plate gave me crippling PF pain for anything over half distance so I had to stop wearing them. Saucony told me the shape of the carbon plate in the pro 3 was the same as the TPU plate in the speed 2 (which is why I love them….) Do you know if Saucony have changed the plate in the Pro 4 vs Pro 3? I know they made an update to the TPU plate in the Speed 4…which I’m about to try (switching back to Saucony from the NB Fuelcell SC V2.) Would appreciate your thoughts.

    I'm sticking with Endorphin Pro 2, second pair. 1st pair has 857.6 miles. Only 237 miles into my 2nd pair, several other EB recommended shoes in rotation, and I'm not running anyway until I recover from back/hip injuries mostly due to car crash 🤷‍♂️ . Love your vids Edd! 👍

    Great review as always Edd 👍 I know you’ll do a proper comparison video in time, but curious your initial thoughts compared to the Elite? For me the Elite is that much better than the Endo Pro3 (and I do really like the 3), but curious if the chips are down are you reaching for the Elite or the EP4 for a half or full? Thanks! 🙏

    Nice review Edd. Do you think a running race shoe like this would be at all suitable for long, fast paced walking and as a trainer for just going to the gym to weigh train or does it have an odd feel if the usage isn't specificaly for running?

    I´m actually looking if i buy another pair of Vaporfly 3s or try the Pro 4. I tried the Pro 3 back then and i feelt them to be too narrow for my feet. I sent them back. In comparison, are the Pro 4 wider (less pressure from the upper on the fore foot) on then the 3s? Actually i`m happy with the Speed 4s, but the Speed 3s where wider then the Pro 3s back then, so no good comparison i guess.

      I agree 👍 and I have purchases 3 pairs of the Pro 3 as a training shoe but only worn for 1 x Marathon (too soft in the heel for someone looking to run a low 3+ hour paced Marathon in my opinion). I expect that the Pro 4 would be too, although they have offset this a little with changes to the rocker plus adding a little HG foam. The Elite is Saucony's number one race shoe and will work best for most of a certain pace who are looking to hit certain times I would think.

    The jury is out on value, I agree attention to build quality is better than some, however at this price point we should not be having to comment on that. The toe / forefoot will probably wear out at 120+ miles, 3 pairs of pro 3 tell me this, I am very worried about hatched sole rubber, it tears easily, especially on trails. Due to the rocker design in the Endorphin line I find that all of them Speed / Pro wear out 2/3's quicker than other shoe Brands I use. I run 50-60 miles a week, FWIW IMO
