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

You'll love how the Speed 5 makes picking up the pace feel natural and controlled, giving you the confidence to explore what fast feels like in your training.

good everyday running shoes

Agnes E 1 month ago Verified Purchase

I generally love Saucony shoes because they suit my narrow feet and long toes. However, this particular model is a bit too wide. The shoes are lightweight, high-quality, and perfect for my daily runs of 7–21 km.

These are my favorite running shoe with a nice cushion! They are perfect for my feet. I have a pretty narrow foot and neutral gait and they work great!

I have used these shoes for a week, and I like them, but the laces were not long enough. Since I couldn't tie them properly, they made my knee and hip flare up. I had to order new laces.

Wide Feet

Enid C 6 months ago Verified Purchase

I have purchased a few styles but these are not meant for wide feet. Normally I order 11’s to account for my wide foot but with this style it should have been 11.5. Tight in the shoebox and it squeezed my toes together on my first run. I only wore them once.
