In your experience, how do the 3’s compare to the 4’s for marathon? I love the 3’s. Thanks.

6’2 97 to 100kg. I have loved the endorphin series the best. Have exclusively worn since the 2s. Loved them. Hated the 3s. Now on 4s and after trying different shoes, even the pro 2s and pro 3 I come back to endorphin speed 4s. (Haven’t tried 5s yet and will try azuras soon as daily). But have been wearing the 4s for pretty much every run. Will probably get pro 5 as I begin working below 3:45 min/k as base block ends

My most recent race shoe purchase is the AP4. Haven’t run a full in them yet, but have done some shorter races. Previously, I’ve raced halfs and fulls in the Clifton 8, Vaporfly 2, Alphafly 1, Endorphin Speed 2, Adios Pro 3, Zegama 1, Topo Specter 1, Endorphin Trail, Endorphin Pro 3, Endorphin Speed 3, and Tyr Valkyrie Speedworks. AP3 has been my favorite of those. Ran 2 halfs and 2 fulls in them plus an ultra and then put a lot of miles in them as a daily trainer. Great shoe. AF1 was great too, but I did a lot more daily miles than races in those.

I race in the Endorphin Pro 3s and love them - they’ve been replaced now but I’ve heard good things about the 4s.

Slightlt heavier heel striking runner here. I'm an Endorphin Pro guy, 3 was fantastic, 4 slightly less but still great.

I can only recommend what I’ve used, which include Saucony Endorphin Pro 3, Endorphin Elite v1, Adidas adios pro 3 (loved the ride but the upper cut into my heel so limited usage for me), and about to use the NB elite 5 next weekend. Of those I liked Saucony elite the most. I’m just sub-1:30 in the half.
