I really appreciate how you guys always talk about the history of the model, not just thoughts on the current version. Also you each share your unique preferences for fitment/feel, which helps viewers understand how the review applies to us

Great review! I’m excited to hear this, the 3 wasn’t my favorite but enjoyed the miles logged. The 2 is still my favorite, hands down! So looking forward to this one.

The Speed 2 and the Speed 3 had a baby!!! Perfect combo!! No brainer 👍👏

Very excited to try these. Pre-ordered mine

Awesome review you guys.

Love the Speed 3. I never ran in the Speed 1 or 2, so I will look forward to eventually giving the 4s a shot. Just bought another pair of 3s for $130 on sale.

Thanks for the review. I love long runs in the Speed 3, but reverted to Speed 1 for my half marathon to break the 1:45 barrier as the 3 was just a little too soft as a 198lb runner. I plan on wearing out the speed 3 over the spring/summer and Speed 4 will be high on marathon training/racing list in the fall.

I picked up the REI / Saucony collab and so far I love it. Slightly firmer and better outsole. Great review.

I love my ES3 so glad to hear the fours are recommended too. They really made a great shoe and glad they didn't mess it up.

AWESOME. I love my Speed 3's and am excited to get the 4's.

Love the 3, definitely getting the 4.

Been a fan of the Speed since V1. Nearly 500 miles on the V3. Outstanding evolution. Looking forward to trying the V4.

Great review, thanks! I'm eagerly awaiting my 4's!! Is the SRS really a game changer? 😅 Hoping that tread will last up ro my usual ~350mi lifespan ive been getting oit of the previous versions. The spice is back!?

I loved the speed 2 and there was no replacement for it. Super excited for the 4!

I’m running my first marathon this April! I originally was going to go with the Kinvara Pro’s for my race day shoe since I heard that the Endorphin wasn’t going to come out until April, I felt like April release was too close. Also it depended on what date in April. But now that’s not the case so now I’m definitely leaning towards this! I absolutely adored the Speed 3’s and I would take them out any chance I got so I’m sure these will blow the 3’s right out of the water!

I dig the Kofuzi shirt and the shoe looks good too.

Loved the 3s. Might have to get the 4s

Great Vid. Been looking forward to these for a while… loved the Speed 2’s and Speed 3’s for different reasons. Quick question. I have the Comrades Marathon coming up in June. It’s 90km n need to buy the shoe I’m going to do it in pretty soon to get some miles in them. I’m thinking Speed 4 or Pro 3 or what do you suggest… it’s going to be long n slow, sub 9 hours at around 6min/km… any help would be great. Thanks

The speed 3 suited my foot well. But it was a bit bland while running in it. Had no "pop" or bounce. Looking forward to trying the 4.

I have speed 3 and I love them. Feel like they needed a little more comfort though. Gonna have to get the 4s.

Guest appearance by Kofuzi! These shoes are so exciting, I love the Endorphin Speed series!

Look forward to grabbing a pair when they put out a decent colourway of the shoe!

The first speed was the best shoe I’ve ever worn. Can’t wait for this one.

@@io-rj6sk I think in part it was that they were first. The nylon plate felt revolutionary to me and I could really work through all my paces including 10 min/mile paces. The 2nd and third felt exactly like they described in the video. Too much in either direction.

Good morning. Like to Meaghan and Robbe.!!!! Saucony endorphin speed 4 for ever!!!!. A nice weekend for everyone.

Interesting seeing how much some love the version others hate! How different we are…I loved v1 but my favorite was v2 and I’m still putting miles on a 3rd pair of 2’s. I thought it was just as much fun as the OG, but the upper was more supportive and made the shoe feel more stable to me. I also have v3 which which is not as exciting, but versatile. However, I will definitely go over to v4 once my other Speeds are ready to donate or whatever. Very glad to hear v4 will be more like the earlier iterations.

Fantastic review, looking forward to buying a pair when they arrive in Thailand.

I got PB in my marathon race just 2weeks ago with my Speed 2, but I was very close to get a pair of Speed 3 in the prior weeks but finally didn't. My Speed 2 with 850km are doing great in terms of outsole durability but maybe a little less snappy. I think I may retire when adding max150km. Will have to check if Speed 3 on sale or maybe wait for the 4s. For being my first ever Saucony, pretty satisfied.

Looking forward to wearing this bad boy at work tomorrow

How did it go?

Got the REI “leaked” colorway and have about 25 miles in them. Loved the 2, “meh” on the 3, still undecided on these. Not as stiff, light or snappy as the 2s, not as “baggy” feeling as the 3s were. Wish they didn’t go as wide in the heel as they have to overcorrect the “unstable” complaints on the 1 and 2. Improvement but still not as quick as the originals. Luckily have a few pairs of 2s with 300 or so miles left in each, then will go to a rotation of the 4 for longer, slow days and the Magic Speed 3 for tempos, Pro3/4 for race days.

Interested to see the runshield version of this.

Does the heel cup dig into your Achilles the way the 3 did?

Nice. You guys have trended a little more towards the informative and less towards the goofing around lately and I prefer it.

Is the "SRS" Sockliner Powerrun HG or simmilar Foam?

REI has a colab on this one and it's out now, just bought a pair!

Been a huge fan of all the Endorphins since they came out. I still have a few Pro 1's that I love for track day. (Vaporflys for Marathon race day). But have run through a few pair of Speed 3's now and have just fallen in love with them as daily trainers. They have enough support and cushion and are so much more fun to run in than really any daily trainers I have tried. So- Not really looking for something speedier in the 4. Now just need to decide if grabbing another pair of 3's on sale or going for the 4's as my next DTs.

Wonder what the most cushioned speed day with plate shoe option is?

My Speed 3s have 800km now. The Speed 4s are ordered and will arrive in 3 days. Dunno why of April, you can order them now in Germany.

I wonder how much of the change in feel is due to the Sock liner, and if that is chiefly responsible for the speedier feel, how durable that will be and how long this shoe will last as a "jack of all trades" before it reverts to comfortable/slow day trainer.

Still love my Speed 2. Used today for my 18k long run. Hoping Speed 4 feels like the 2.

Between 2 shoes, please! Adidas Boston 12 vs. Saucony Endorphin Speed 4

Speed 1/2 is the greatest shoe I've ever owned and when I got the speed 3 I was very disappointed, but I found that the stability actual helped me a lot with some injuries I've been dealing with particularly adding a little 10mm wedge to the heel for my achillies rehab has made it into the perfect shoe for me. I wouldn't be where I am today with my running without the speed 3, I've tried so many different things but nothing works as well as it does. It's not quite as fast as the 1/2 but for a lot of runners it's going to be even better. Also nice to see saucony keeping up the tradition of making each new endorphin line uglier than the previous one 😂

I’m still unsure between this shoe and the rebel v4 🤔 tough decisions coming up

I loved the Speed 2, hated the Speed 3 and with the Speed 4 I feel it's as good as v2: fast shoe for any distance. I have to say: I am in love with the Speed 4, madly in love

All these shoes coming out month after month. Its like they know how to get me.

Still loving my speed 1, one of the best shoes I’ve worn, still using them after 500 Miles. Still disappointed with the Speed 3, using them now as a good daily trainer ( though I will always prefer the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 over the speed 3 ). I am passing on the 4 because of that…

Here after running 100 miles in my pair. The shoe felt very black and white. On some days it felt like it did what was advertised and on the others it wasn’t a fun ride. Also it slowed down a notch or two at around 75 miles. My advice would be the Boston 12, Hoka Mach or wait for the other shoes to release. Mizuno neo vista felt super soft but I’d weigh in on that

How is the size for the new SPEED 4 vs SPEED 3?

Speed 3 gave me arch pain but adjustment on these speed 4 look clean and roomy

Something about this colorway brings to mind early 2000s Nickelodeon or a fast food restaurant.

Sounds like it's a very similar shoe to the speed 3. Which for me personally was a massively overhyped shoe. Wasn't particularly great at going fast but wasn't great for runs over 10 miles either. I feel the boston 12 does the fast stuff a lot better and the novablast 4 does the longer stuff better. So really left it in no man's land. The pro 3 really did everything better which didn't help there case. No doubt if you liked the 3 you'll like this one.

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 so you say an improvement but not different. So similar then? Sometimes you have to read between the lines. Still has softer foam and flexible plate in the foam. So it's not speed 2 replacement it's a reworked speed 3 so it's going to be very close to previous shoe.
