Endorphin Speed 5 Running Trainers

Bought these a couple weeks ago as a first pair of plated shoes for speed workouts. Have done 2 workouts and a long run in them. Feel nice and snappy and carried me to a HM PR. Felt bouncy especially on tired legs. Slight hotspot at top lace on inside of foot but a little working got it sorted out.

This is my 2nd pair of Endorphin Speed 5's and I freaking love them. They are comfortable, bouncy, and the nylon plate is great for daily training. The Shocks colour is darn awesome too!

From the first run I knew this is special, perfect fit and constantly hitting new PRs in my runs since I got it

Love these shoes, I use them for my short and longs runs. Definitely give me what I need to go fast and perfect amount of cushioning for when I’m slow.

These shoes are incredible shoes for speed runs. The fit and comfort is there while keeping great pop.

Very light shoe. Great support and incredibly comfortable. Amazing every day running shoe. Fits true to size and I love the heel support.

Bought the London version last week. Extremely disappointed in the outsole quality. The design started to rip literally after the first run which is a problem since the outsole design is wrapped on and not painted on. Once it starts to rip, it'll just get worse. Aside from this major cosmetic issue, the shoe itself is very light and felt great during my tempo run. The fit is just right, some may say it's narrow but it fits me just fine. I wish I bought a different version so the shoe can continue looking good after 200+ miles.

I have a slightly wider foot and am a bit of a heavier runner. I’m used to more max cushion shoes but this foam was very comfortable and the grip is amazing. I’ve used the speed 5 on the treadmill, on the roads, and for Hyrox. Everything from recovery runs, tempo work, and up to 8 miles continuous. Can kind of do it all still. Although I do prefer it for Hyrox and some faster sessions. Other than some slight heel slippage on sled pushes this has become one of my favorite shoes. Super fun, light weight, and always look forward to workouts with this shoe.

I have run in the Endorphin Speed 1 and Speed 2 in the past and these are my favorite of the lineup. What sets the speed 5 apart from previous models is the stability and the durability. They are some of the snappiest training shoes I've worn, which feels great for speedy days, but I've also loved taking them on long, slow runs as well. The plate does a good job of rolling me onto my toes. The lockdown on the upper is perfect. Great breathability. I have put 220 miles on them so far on the road, and I see minimal wear on the sole of the shoe, even with all the exposed foam. In previous models, the rubber partially separated from the foam after about 200 miles, but these are holding strong. Also with the previous models, as they accumulated mileage, the midsole became spongy and unstable, but these are maintaining bounce and structure. I have gotten no blisters on my feet, and there is plenty of room in the toe box. I am a 175 lb runner and these handle my weight just fine. Great job Saucony, please don't change this shoe too much.

I bought these for my son (freshman in hs) for track. It’s been less than a month and the sole is coming off. I need to call customer service during business hours to see if they will do anything to remedy the situation.

Don’t like the fit. Not as happy as I have been with other Saucony.

This is a sleeper of a super shoe. Light & responsive along with the right drop & cushion for the miles. This is my 2nd pair they are good for about 300 miles of speedy running

I like that these shoes were a better improvement from the Speed 4's however I have Ride 17 that I use from time to time and they give me a better cushioning as well as step off. I would like to see if they can both be implemented in the Speed 6.

I have the endorphins speed 2,3,and 4 - The endorphins 5 are awesome! The updates they made makes this shoe superior to the other models. I se them for tempo, speed runs and occasionally easy runs. I highly recommend them The heel is by far the biggest upgrade for me. My Achilles area use to chaff/blister with the 3 and 4's - The designed it to prevent that from happening with the 5's
