The Endorphin family is considered to be one of the families that Saucony launched and created a lot of buzz among Thai runners. Until now, arriving in the 4th generation, it continues to wow runners. In this model, from the outside, it may feel like not much has changed. But inside, some changes have occurred and are very interesting.
During the month of April which is a hot month in Thailand The brand itself would like to launch shoes that are as hot as the weather (haha) with the Endorphin Pro 4 and Endorphin Speed 4 running shoes.
I'll take you to see what new technology these two models have. Including the first feeling after trying on Endorphin Pro 4 and Endorphin Speed 4
Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 : snappy and responsive yet smooth and efficient.
Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 is a shoe that is agile, responsive, efficient and still provides softness in every running pose. And in model 4, it is considered a success of the brand that combines PERRUN HG foam (which is the foam in Saucony Endorphin Elite) and PWRRUN PB together to form a midsole. It is considered to be the first time in the industry. This foam mixture is sandwiched onto a carbon sheet. And of course, Speedroll technology still exists as before. (I really like it Helps to run more easily and smoothly)

First feeling after trying on Saucony Endorphin Pro 4
The appearance of Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 , I secretly feel that it looks a bit too spacey. But it is considered to be somewhat in line with the shoe's character, which is a speed shoe. As for the foam, the brand says it uses 2 types of foam, PWRRUN HG and PWRRUN PB. When I compare it, I think it's softer and friendlier than before. Don't push us too much. But the added softness doesn't make the shoes any less bouncy. But it makes it easier to put on. Less hardness from the carbon sheet. And most importantly, stability seems to be a little wider in the middle of the shoe. Makes your feet feel more fully planted with each step. As for the upper fabric, the appearance is somewhat different from before. When I tried it on, it still felt airy and comfortable. And the tongue part that they said was sewn onto the shoe itself. I like this one. It doesn't look too thick or too thin and the design really fits.
Overall, Endorphin Pro 4 is not shocking to the point of being wow. But if anyone likes this family, it's time to change. Because the things they added were able to help improve our running, such as softness and stability.

Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 is a running shoe designed to be versatile, whether it's race day. Or is practice day more foot-friendly? Easier to adapt and there is no vibration from the carbon plate Because they use a nylon sheet that is more flexible. (But not as bouncy as a carbon sheet) and in this model they have a new design change. Including adjustments to the new inner shoe pad.

First feeling after trying on Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
The appearance of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 looks out of space and feels a bit too gimmicky. Personally, I like the simple style of Model 3 more. But what impressed me about Model 4 and is very suitable for the weather in our country. It has a lightweight fabric upper with very large ventilation holes. You can feel it when you lift your foot and run. And then there was wind passing through inside, which was really great. Including feeling that the shoes are more stable and can place your feet fully. (From the beginning, I always felt like Speed wasn't very stable.) The tongue of the shoe is thick and soft. But it's not uncomfortable because the holes are drilled frequently and large. Definitely not hot on the back of the feet. The floor is made of rubber that covers almost the entire sole of the foot. It's a little different from the original version. In the middle of the foot, in this part, I don't think it will have much difference from the original version.
Overall, I think this one doesn't change much. But the points that impressed me were the ventilation and stability. These two points are what I think if anyone likes Endorphin Speed, this model should be in their possession. As for anyone who has never tried the Endorphin family before, I want you to open your mind to the Speed model and you will fall in love with this pair of shoes immediately.
Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 is suitable for : race day / practice day / every day.
