It's a great shoe for people with wide feet. The Nike lineup is just so tight and made for people with super narrow feet. I can't wait to get mine.

Funny, because I found the Endorphin Pro 3 way too cramped in the toe box in a size UK 12 and then have loads of room in the Nike Vaporfly 3 in a UK 12

Glad to hear that it still feels good at most paces which is why I used it primarily for my long run workouts!

V3 was the first CP shoe that really worked for me. I’d previously race in the Speed2 but this was a step up for marathon distance in particular. I had an 18:00 PR over the previous year on the same course and while I did train harder and probably fueled better as well, the shoe played a role. It sounds as if I’ll like v4 as much or better. Crossing my fingers….

@jollyroger1009 5 ай бұрын

That was a really good idea to compare the Pro 4 on one foot and the Elite v4 on the other. They both look like good shoes.

Did my first workout in the Pro 4 today. The upper and the laces are stretchier than the pro 3 - had to retie twice and synch down much harder than I usually would to prevent heel slip. I might try a runner’s knot next time Midsole seems more responsive than the 3 - better for faster paces. Comfort was good too (about the same). The toebox feels a bit wider to me or maybe it’s because it doesn’t taper in as much.

So I started watching this because I’m on the fence buying the Pro 3 or waiting on this shoe, but what blew me away was recognizing the background beat in the video, which was created right here in my house in Rhode Island! I feel like it’s a sign that this is my shoe!

Yes, we’re talking about you Nike, re: race shoes that feel strange and unstable running slowly. I’ve loved all the other Endorphins (ok, Shifts notwithstanding). And the Speed 3’s have become my favorite daily trainer for everything but the slowest days. I save some 1’s and 2;s for track day. Will put these on my short list for my new spring marathon shoe. Although, my VaporFly2’s still have another race left in them.

Great review! enjoy the chemistry between the two of you, quick question, in terms of a Racing shoe, would you say these are one of the most stable racing shoes, I have developed PTTD recently, so going forward I need a shoe with more arch support, which these seem to have. I'm guessing the 3 is also good for stability relative to other racing shoes.

They are both Marathon shoes. Elite is pure HG favoring those with higher paces. I think most non-elite will be happy with Pro 4.

I believe super shoes are being engineered for all paces. If you have the extra cash, why not train in super shoes and save your muscle fibres? Thanks for the review guys.

@tomcat1319 5 ай бұрын

I agree as long as they last! Nike dropped the ball when 200 miles and their race day shoes are done! Saucony racers can last 400 miles. That's a big difference when spending $200+ for a shoe! The Speed and Pro are both good all around shoes. I can do everything in the speed and be happy! I have the Pro version 1 with 250 miles. It still has a lot left! Saucony makes their shoes to last! Great Video!

Does training in super shoes means you don’t get the same muscle stimulus as before? Some muscles will work less and others harder - e.g. my calf muscles feel more sore after using plated shoes for lots of training

@@Spudsmachenzie1 Megan says Nike is at the top tier and then everybody else is below them and it’s not accurate anymore. For example Asics Metaspeed Paris is crushing both Alphafly and Vaporfly at the moment. Definitely at the same tier as Nike - or even above Nike for the time being.
