All Women's Road Shoes

  • Daily TrainersDaily Trainers

    The baseline definition of a running shoe. Daily Trainers lean on time-proven designs, technologies and features for dependable cushioning, support and comfort. They're a staple in every runner's closet, and if you are new to running shoes, then you should start your journey here.

  • Performance TrainersPerformance Trainers

    Performance Trainers provide a springy feel and make longer runs easier and faster runs faster. While quicker than Daily Trainers, Performance Trainers are not nearly as fast as Super Shoes. Due to a focus on keeping things light weight, Performance Trainers are less durable than Daily Trainers. These can also be a good option for one's first race shoe.

  • Super ShoesSuper Shoes

    Super Shoes are the fastest running shoes you can buy. They are designed to race your absolute best and represent the pinnacle of running shoe technology and innovation. They have the highest energy return foams and plates for new levels of performance. Low durability, but maximum speed is the name of the game here.

Men's Running Shoes by Surface

  • Roads & PavementRoads & Pavement

    Road running shoes feature smooth outsoles that are designed for running on paved surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths.

  • Smooth Trails & FireroadsSmooth Trails & Fireroads

    Designed to handle most trail runs, these shoes prioritize comfort and a smooth ride. These shoes are great for anything from smooth singletrack, park trails, and fireroads making them ideal for those who run from their doorstep on streets before hitting the trail.

  • Rocky & Technical TrailsRocky & Technical Trails

    These shoes are best used for hard, rugged trails such as shale, granite or sandstone where grip on smooth surfaces and underfoot protection are important.

  • Soft & Muddy TrailsSoft & Muddy Trails

    Designed for use in muddy, soggy conditions, these shoes feature very aggressive outsoles that dig deep into soft ground for exceptional traction.

  • Snowy & Icy TrailsSnowy & Icy Trails

    These shoes feature technical outsoles designed to grip snowy and icy trails making them ideal for winter trail running.

Cushioning Level

  • Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
    Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.

  • Barefoot

    0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.

  • Minimal

    14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.

  • Low

    19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.

  • Medium

    24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.

  • High

    29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.

  • Maximal

    35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.

Stability Level

  • Neutral

    Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.

  • Stable

    Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.


Product Details:

Since its introduction to the running scene, the Saucony Endorphin Speed has earned the reputation of being a fantastic lightweight and fast running shoe that dedicated runners love to lace up on speed days and longer faster efforts. With the fourth iteration, we see a lot of the same magic that made the Speed 3 one of the best shoes money could buy, in addition to some upgrades that help make the shoe more efficient and more stable.

Starting with the midsole, the Endorphin Speed 4 features the same wonderfully soft and responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning that encases a redesigned winged nylon plate. These two elements work with the SPEEDROLL geometry to deliver a highly energetic and efficient underfoot experience. The winged plate adds torsional rigidity in the heel while maintaining flexibility through the forefoot. This offers the stability runners need for cornering and making tight turns while simultaneously propelling the foot forward. Meanwhile, the PWRRUN PB offers an ultra-bouncy ride that makes track workouts a blast while delivering the protection needed to tackle long runs with ease. 

In the outsole, the lattice designed rubber layout offers fantastic traction and durability. Despite the technology that's packed into this shoe, the Speed 4 is very lightweight. Helping to keep the weight down is the engineered mesh upper that strikes the perfect balance between being minimal yet secure. The integrated tongue not only helps with lock down, but it is so comfortable that you'll forget it's there.  

Overall, the Endorphin Speed 4 carries the legacy of its predecessors while adding a bit of flare that elevates it to be a shoe that helps runners push the pace during their hardest training efforts.

How We Measure Our Shoe Specs

  • We measure every shoe in-house to provide accurate and consistent details.

  • Weight

    The weight is based on a Men's size 9 for Men's and Unisex shoes or Women's size 8 for Women's shoes. The weight listed is for a single shoe, including the laces.

  • Heel Stack

    The heel stack refers to how high your heel sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.

  • Forefoot Stack

    Forefoot stack refers to how high the ball of the foot sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.

  • Heel-toe Offset

    Heel-toe offset (drop) is the difference in height between the heel stack and the forefoot stack. We use the number given to us by the brand.

How We Measure Shoe Fit

  • All measurements are based on Medium width.

  • Fit (width) options are Narrow - Snug - Average - Roomy - Wide.

  • Sizing (length) options are Short - True - Long. Note: fit is relative to the "average" running shoe.

  • We partner with SmartLast, a program by Heeluxe, to use advanced shoe-measuring technology, to provide objective measurements for toe box, midfoot, and heel widths as well as overall length.

Better than the 3, still not as good as the 2It is a fine shoe, but is far from the snappiness of the Endorphin Speed 2. The 3’s were definitely not for me and I heard the 4’s were a mix of the 2 and 3. The foam isn’t as responsive as I would prefer. I do like the look of the shoe and it is nice and light and breathable, looking forward to trying the 5 eventually.

GreatI’m new to running so can’t go technical, all I can say is this shoe is excellent on foot, not too much cushioning that it isn’t responsive when needed to pick up the pace. Great all in one shoe which someone like me with no “rotation” yet needs.

Great for uptempoLove these shoes for 8 min and below paces. The Speed 2s were wobbly in turns and these don’t have that problem. I race in carbon shoes but I’m not sure they’re that much faster than these. Great job Saucony!

Not One For MeThe Endophin Speed 4 is a fine shoe, but it isn’t the shoe for me. The quality is good, typical for Saucony. I admit, I didn’t like the previous version 3 of this shoe either but hoped the 4 would be different; it was not. To me, the foam feels very firm and not responsive at all. Maybe I’m too slow or my biomechanics simply don’t work with this shoe. Whatever it is, I simply did not enjoy running in it while other people rave about it. The upper was nice and I didn’t have any fitment issues.

Saucony Endorphin Speed 4These shoes are great. I was just coming off surgery and used these the first day I was cleared to run again. They are light, comfortable, and have nice support. Perfect for what I need. Also, I ordered the wrong size originally. The return and exchange process was super easy and the turn around was quick. Thanks so much!

SpeedyOverall I like the shoes and intend to use them for workout days when I want to go fast. It feels like I am fighting the shoe to run at an easier paces. They feel different than the speed 3 to me. The shoe feels more firm and has a narrower fit. They have some bounce but it seems less than the last version.

SADI really wanted to love these as much as I love the Endorphin Speed 3's. The 3's are my absolute favorite with a 5 star rating. The new 4's are much stiffer, not as much cushion and a bit narrow in the toe box. I don't hate them, but I won't be ordering another pair. I have several of the 3's (thank goodness) so really hoping when they come out with the 5's they will be more like the 3's. The 4's are ok for short runs. I used them for 2 half marathons, and both times my feet hurt after 13 miles.

I miss the Speed 3!While I had REALLY liked the Saucony Endorphin Pro 2, I absolutely LOVED the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3. It had just the right amount of cushion on long mile days, and with the nylon plate, it had just enough pick-up-and-go on speed days. It really was my "do-everything" shoe. With that said, I was excited about getting my hands on the Speed 4. Problem is that they just never felt good. I found them to be too firm for me (which is strange, because the Endorphin Pro 2's where essentially just plated racing flats). Perhaps if I just gave them a little more time to break in I might have felt differently. I just couldn't do it, though, as my feet hurt after each run. I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars. Certainly not the worst running shoe I've ever worn, but no where near what I thought I'd be getting when I upgraded from the Endorphin Speed 3s.

I like the 3's betterI love the Endorphin 3's. The 4's are a good running shoe, just not 5 stars like I would give the 3's. The 4's have less cushion, and the toe box is more narrow. They are ok for a half marathon, but my feet hurt training longer miles (16) for a marathon. I hope the 5's come out soon and have a wider toe box and more cushion because I don't see buying another pair of the 4's.
