Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 vs Nike Vaporfly 3

The Nike Vaporfly 3 and the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 are both popular super shoes with the same overall level of cushioning, but their ride characteristics differ. The Endorphin Pro 4 offers more balanced cushioning throughout, while the Vaporfly 3 has better heel cushioning but lacks forefoot protection. The Vaporfly 3 also provides a bit more energy return, contributing to its propulsive feel, but the Endorphin Pro 4 is significantly more stable, thanks to its wider outsole. Additionally, the Vaporfly 3 is lighter, giving it a more effortless, race-day-ready feel, while the firmer forefoot foam adds to its snappy toe-off compared to the smoother, more controlled ride of the Endorphin Pro 4.
