Our Verdict

Saucony Endorphin Pro 4

Nike Vaporfly 4

The Nike Vaporfly 4 and the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 are both carbon-plated super shoes built for race day, but they offer different strengths. The Vaporfly 4 is significantly lighter and geared toward runners prioritizing absolute performance and efficiency, especially over half-marathon distances. The Endorphin Pro 4, while heavier, provides more stability, and it has a firmer forefoot that delivers a snappier toe-off.
