Yeah. Was waiting for these new shoes to come out. Unfortunately, the Pro 4 also has these laces. I may preemptively switch them in that one. We’ll see. However, it also doesn’t have plastic in the heel counter. So hopefully I won’t experience the same rubbing issue. I was actually able to run in the Pro 4 the weekend before it went on sale at a Runner’s Edge event at their store. Which was pretty cool. Got to confirm that I needed my usual 12.5 in Saucony shoes with that one before buying.
Seems like a lot people have issues with speed’s lacing. Most TH-cam videos I watched, people got the lace super tight that you barely even see the tongue any more. But I find it fits me perfectly. I never need to tighten it down. The elastic in the laces is just the right amount for the shoes to wear around my feet.
It probably depends on the volume of someone’s foot. What’s a great fit for some could be too tight or loose for someone else. I also am feeling like the Speed 4 runs a little bit longer than the Speed 3. I have a 12.5 in the Speed 1, 2 and 3. I’m thinking that a 12 may have fit me better in the Speed 4. With the regular (non-stretchy) laces that I switched into them, I’m getting a much better lockdown.
Its an amazing shoe in my opinion. I was doing all my miles on a pair of Noveblast 4s and those Speed 4s are seriously fast and responsive! 😮
This is definitely a do it all type of shoe.
I feel like it’s been a little while since you posted. Totally agree with your feelings towards these types of laces - they’re the worst.

Hannah Montana moment lol
Good review!
You get the best of both worlds with this shoe. Haha.
We have been running for the same time. The original speed was my first marathon shoe.
Nice! I broke 1:30:00 in the half marathon for the first time in the Speed 1. Such a great shoe!
