Is the Endorphin Pro 4 good for marathon racing?

Yes. It is designed as a marathon-distance race shoe, with a carbon plate, high stack and light weight aimed at sustaining pace over 26.2 miles.

How does it compare with the Endorphin Pro 3?

The Pro 4 has a softer, more compliant ride, a roomier toe box and midfoot, and an integrated knit tongue. The Pro 3 is narrower and firmer underfoot.

Can I use it for daily training?

It works for tempo runs and intervals, but the plate and outsole are tuned for racing. Most runners keep a separate daily trainer for easy miles.

What is the drop and stack height?

It has a 39.5mm heel and 31.5mm forefoot stack with an 8mm drop.

Does it fit true to size?

It runs true to size for most runners, and the roomier midfoot gives more space than the Pro 3. Narrow-footed runners may notice tongue creasing.

Is it a neutral shoe?

Yes. It is a neutral racing shoe with no stability posting, so it suits runners without significant overpronation.

What people mention

Ride feelPraisedRunners describe the PWRRUN PB and HG combination as softer and more forgiving than the Pro 3 while still feeling fast.
FitMixedThe roomier toe box and midfoot suit many runners, but narrow-footed buyers report tongue creasing from the extra width.
WeightPraisedOwners note the shoe stays light for its stack height, which helps over long race distances.
Tongue and lacingMixedThe integrated knit tongue and speed lacing reduce lace pressure, though the tongue can bunch for some feet.
DurabilityCriticisedReviewers say the outsole wears faster than daily trainers, so it is best kept for racing and fast workouts.
