Details

With a legacy firmly established at the front of the marathon racing pack, the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 arrives not just to continue the streak—but to widen the gap. This fourth edition holds true to the formula that made it beloved by elites and ambitious amateurs alike, while integrating a critical upgrade that transforms its race-day feel.


The major evolution is the introduction of PWRRUN HG, Saucony’s pinnacle superfoam, positioned as the top layer of the midsole for immediate high-rebound sensation underfoot. Carried within the proven PWRRUN PB superfoam chassis, the HG layer remains stabilized and durable, allowing runners to enjoy maximum energy transfer without sacrificing control late in the race. Sandwiched between the two foams, the full carbon plate works in perfect sync with Saucony’s signature SPEEDROLL geometry, producing a rolling, propulsive ride that feels smooth, efficient, and relentlessly fast from the first mile through the final push.


Beneath it all, the latticed forefoot rubber layout reduces weight while maintaining aggressive grip, supported by minimal heel coverage for stability on sharp turns and wet road segments. Up top, the refined race mesh upper delivers security without distraction, highlighted by an integrated tongue that improves lockdown and eliminates pressure during high-effort pacing.


In total, the Endorphin Pro 4 stands as Saucony’s clearest leap yet toward sustainable top-end racing performance—lighter, livelier, and more marathon-ready than ever. If you’re hunting efficiency at pace and the smoothest race-day rhythm Saucony has built to date, the Pro 4 is poised to take you there.
