Features
Find out what fast feels like in the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5.
Designed to help you find your version of fast, the Endorphin Speed 5 combines Saucony's lightweight, responsive cushioning with their rocker SPEEDROLL technology and a nylon plate to propel you forward with confidence. In our Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 review, run tester Kate said "The Speed 5 provides a smooth, buoyant underfoot feel. It makes me feel like I'm floating. Don't be surprised if your running buddies have to tell you to slow down."
Details:
- Upper: The new Hexagon Mesh upper features six-sided perforations for enhanced breathability and a performance-focused feel. A 3D heel counter locks your foot in place for secure, confident runs.
- Midsole: The refined PWRRUN PB cushioning delivers a firm, controlled ride that's perfect for speed work. It's combined with a full-length nylon plate and SPEEDROLL technology that creates smooth, propulsive transitions.
- Outsole: Enhanced rubber coverage extends to the heel edge for improved durability, while a new vertical flex groove under the forefoot provides increased flexibility during toe-offs.
What's New
The biggest change for the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is the refined PWRRUN PB foam blend that creates a firmer, more controlled ride compared to the Speed 4. The upper has been redesigned with Hexagon Mesh construction for improved breathability and a performance aesthetic. Saucony also enhanced the outsole with additional rubber coverage and added a vertical flex groove for better toe-off flexibility.
Who It's Best For
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is perfect for runners looking to add some speed to their training routine. It's a versatile neutral shoe that excels at speedwork, tempo runs and can even serve as a budget-friendly race day option for those who prioritize lightweight performance.
Why You'll Love It

Great running shoe
My feet and knees feel better with this shoe. Great cushion and fit coming from New Balance 880’s. I use them for running and HYROX training. They slip off on sled pushes, but feel great with burpees and squats

Solid All-Around Training Shoe for Marathon Speed Sessions
I've tried a lot of the latest "tempo" shoes for half and full marathon training, but I just keep coming back to the Endorphin Speed. The 5th version is no different, offering lightweight comfort and a snappy nylon plate that works well for everything from fartleks and intervals to pushing the pace during longer sessions. Sometimes it seems boring when there's a new shoe with some new technology being released every other week, but it just works. Kudos to Saucony for keeping this shoe going strong.

Decent Comeback for Saucony Endorphin Speed Line
Having gone through 10+ pairs of the Speed 3’s, I was scared to try newer models based on poor feedback. Never even bought the 4’s. Now that the 3’s are next to impossible to find, I had to buy these. And I will say, I’m actually pleasantly surprised. They’re not quite as cushy as the 3’s, but fair very well as an everyday trainer. I do wish I had maybe gone for a half size down (always wear a full size up in the 3’s), but otherwise they’ve been good so far.
