Endorphin Pro 1

194cm 82kg here, 97min HM PB. The Saucony EP4 is lightweight, stable and safe but I found it a little dead/unexciting. I’d expected to like it more as I enjoyed the EP1 a lot. Have you thought about the Hoka Rocket X3? They are next on my list to try.

I would recommend asking yourself whether you really need stability shoes. I also pronate (flat feet), but I haven't had any injuries from this. I stopped wearing stability shoes when I became better and found out there isn't a fast stability shoe. Anyway, the endorphin speed and pro work great for me.

From my experience saucony endorphin pro has the most stable foam/heel area of any carbon shoes i have used

I second the Saucony EP. Got a last years model for like 40% off and use it for tempo, race, and the occasional long run; they’ve been solid.

I’ve been going through my own search for a race day shoe.  I ended up with Endorphin Pro, as recommended below by several people.  Took it for a test spin and it is just fine in 8-9 minute pace (120lb woman).  That said I am running my own HM race today and have opted into wearing my trusty Endorphin Speeds which I know will be fine for me even if I tire and slow down a bit the last mile or two from my planned pace.  Going to see how the pros work in a 5k/10k before potentially using them in a HM race later in the season.   Also considered for today’s race the NB SC Trainer, which I genuinely like a lot, but the Endorphin Speeds are just faster in my opinion.  The Trainer is a pretty forgiving shoe - not uncomfortable even at warm up / cool down paces.  They are a bit redundant with the Speeds in my rotation but I got a great deal on them! I for one am fully invested in this ridiculous bet and hope you post the outcome in a few weeks!
