Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 - White - UK 12

The Endorphin Pro 4 is best suited for competitive racing, including marathons, half-marathons, and 5K/10K races, as well as high-intensity training sessions like tempo runs and interval workouts.

The S-shaped carbon fiber plate provides stiffness and leverage, working with the PWRRUN PB foam to create a highly propulsive effect. It helps transfer energy efficiently, pushing you forward with each stride.

Speedroll Technology is a unique geometry that includes an elevated cushioning and a stiff forefoot, designed to create a feeling of continuous momentum. It helps optimize your running technique by promoting quick transitions and a smooth roll through your stride.

While it can be used for some faster training efforts, its primary design is for racing. For everyday training, a less aggressive shoe might offer more comfort and durability over extended periods.

Clean them by hand using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials. Let them air dry naturally.

The Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 features a substantial stack height of 39.5 mm, providing ample cushioning and a unique ride experience.

The carbon plate and Speedroll technology are designed for aggressive forward propulsion. Give yourself a few runs to adjust to the unique feel, especially if you're new to plated shoes. Start with shorter, faster runs before longer efforts.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure the fit is secure but not overly tight. The adaptable mesh upper should conform, but some foot shapes might require minor lacing adjustments.

The Endorphin Pro 4 is designed to perform at higher paces. Try picking up your pace to activate the carbon plate and Speedroll geometry more effectively. Your running form and cadence can also influence how much propulsion you feel.
