Saucony Endorphin Pro 4

Saucony's carbon-plated marathon racer, stacking a PWRRUN HG topsole over PWRRUN PB with a full-length carbon plate and SPEEDROLL geometry. The ride is firmer and more stable than the bounciest super shoes, which many runners prefer late in a marathon. A dependable racer from 10K to the marathon.
