Partially recommended. The Feiying PB 4.0 is more approachable than typical carbon racers. The dual-density midsole design reduces the demand on perfect running form. Runners with 3+ months experience and 80km+ monthly mileage can consider it for racing or speed workouts. Still, alternate with non-carbon trainers for daily runs.

User Review Summary
The QIAODAN Feiying PB 4.0 is the 2024 evolution of the popular carbon racing shoe. Featuring dual-density PRO‑HP supercritical foam (soft bouncy top layer, firm deformation-resistant bottom layer) with 90%+ energy return, paired with an optimized full-length curved carbon plate for smoother toe-off. The smart micro-braided upper is extremely lightweight and breathable. With 32/39mm stack, 7mm drop, and just 203g weight, it improves upon the PB 3.0 with a more mature, controllable ride, smoother roll, and better stability. Runners praise it as a "beginner-friendly carbon shoe" that handles everything from half/full marathon racing to tempo runs and speed training. At ~NT$3,800 (~¥899 CN), it offers exceptional value as an entry point into carbon-plated shoes.
