Just bought some. First run yesterday and I was really tired going out, however I thought they were lovely, very springy but felt like you could really turn the pace up on days where you’re feeling lively. It kind of has a traditional looking running upper and a super shoe base to it. It hasn’t stripped everything out of the upper which gives it a familiar feel vs really thin minimal shoes out there ride now. Really like them.

I enjoyed the video and I really like the reviews both before and after completing the race. Reviewing the shoe after you have completed a race makes your assessment of the shoe more authentic and valuable. I really appreciate you creating that content! As an everyday-runner, I’m really looking for race shoe for my first marathon and am considering the NB Elte V4, Saucony Pro 4, Hoka Cielo X1, and Adidas Pro 3. Really looking forward to hearing your race-day experiences with these shoes, comparisons of them, and finally the shoe you choose for London. Cheers!

I appreciate both your initial review and now, this one. I found the Endo Pro3 to be the first CP shoe that felt natural to me and it helped give me an 18:00 PR last year in Boston. (I’d used the Endo Speed the year before.) I was given a pair of AF3 last month to try out and wanted to see what all the fuss was about, but in the end (after a 14 mi LR and a couple of other miles) I sent them back. I’m just not a fan of super high stack mushier midsoles and my gut instinct was discomfort over taking the risk on an “A” race, so I’ve been hoping v4 of the Endo Pro would be at least as good for me as the 3’s. Both your input and EDDBUD’s have convinced me it will likely be another winner for me. I should be able to get a pair in another week or so. It’s so strange how some say this runs larger, others say it runs smaller, some say it’s softer, others say it’s firmer, some say it’s toned down, others say it’s racier. Ultimately we have to try them for ourselves, as I often find myself writing in comments.

Great video as usual! I have the Pro 3, and I liked it for up to half marathon distance. My feet are a bit wide, so I think using it for a Marathon would be pushing it. I’m going to use the NB SC Elite 4 for a marathon next week.

Thanks Fordy, I need to choose between my EP3 and my AP3 for Leeds in May, although frankly I don't think I can go wrong with either. It'll be interesting when Adidas bring out a Pro4 as that'll probably be the time I'll be buying.

Good review Fordy thanks. So my half pace 8 mins marathon around 9. My current pair of speed 3’s have just 100 miles on them and there’s no reason to change them but … and here’s my question.. Baring in mind my marathon pace should I keep my speed 3’s and buy the pro 4 for racing or just upgrade to speed 4 for training and racing!? Hope that makes sense 🤷🏼♂️

Hi, good morning, I'm the happy owner of the entire Saucony line. Today I would like to buy a new shoe to use in a marathon and I'm undecided between Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 or Speed 4. My weight is 69kg, height 184cm, I'm running a 3 hour marathon. What do you recommend? I ask you because the idea of the carbon plate for the entire 42 km worries me a little and we are amateurs, not professionals...

Interesting review. I really wasn't a fan of the EP3. I found it uncomfortable, firm, quite stiff and unstable. This one sounds like it might be more up my street. Hesitant about getting it though after how disappointed I was with the last iteration. Does the foam feel any softer than the EP3 or has it got firmer due to the addition of the HG foam?!
@FordyRuns6 ай бұрын
It feels more built up and more solid if that makes sense which I think comes from the wider feel

I got pro 3 to possibly run Syd marathon last year - didn't like it, chosen adidas pro 3 - good choice. This year used saucony pro 3 for 10km as though it might be suitable for me for shorter distances - nah , for next 10km will dust off adidas pro 2 - which still have another unused pair.. So I'll not be getting saucony pro 4 or any other saucony until / if they introduce some less soft foam than Pb foam - it's not good for tall jacked heavy runner 😅

Hi Fordy. Since I don't have a race shoe, and you've used all shoes that I'm going to mention next, could you comment on how much useful the Adios Pro 3 (or this Endorphin Pro) is over a Boston 12 and Puma Deviate Nitro 2 for a Marathon (or Half-Marathon)? I run at about the same pace as you, 4:40-5:00 min/km for long distance. Thanks.
