We Need A Wider Option For The Pros

The pros have become narrower. I was hoping the pro 5 would have rectified this from the pro 4. The last time the pro shoe fit my foot properly was in the third generation. I tried on these 5s and I’m going to have to return them.

Poor Heel Collar Design Damages Heels/achilles

The shoes feel good until you actually run in them. Only after 6 miles of my first run in them, they had destroyed the back of my heels leaving torn skin and then painful blisters. I own the Pro 4s and have many miles on them and with no comfort problems. I contacted Saucony regarding the heel collar issue and they essentially said that it's just how this generation is designed. Unless your form involves no foot movement, I do not recommend these shoes.

Superb Shoe

I absolutely love the Pro 5 version. After putting in countless miles from the Pro 3 forward, I believe these are the best to date. I do all of my long runs, fast paced tempo runs and racing in my Pro 5s as part of my shoe rotation. Superb balance, cushion and poppy feeling make these one of my all time favorite shoes. These shoes definitely get into the sweet spot as you pick up the speed for long distance running. I can go out in a 22 mile long training run with tempo sections with these shoes and I feel so refreshed when finished with my legs feeling great and not trashed the remainder of the day.

Terrible Blisters. Not Wearable. Unacceptable. :

Almost

Super comfortable bouncy cushion is perfect and very stable. I wouldn’t want anything else in a running shoe. My only issue is they rub on my Achilles and I ended up with blisters on both my Achilles after a race. Durn near broke my heart.

Great shoe! Great shoe! Great shoe! Great shoe! Great shoe!

Fast But Blisters

I've really enjoyed the 'pop' and overall speed of my new shoes. Only real complaint is that the heel lip gave me blisters on both feet (along my lower achilles on a 10km run a few days ago. It doesn't seem well suited to shorter socks. Not sure if this can be eliminated in future versions of the shoe.

Sau1

I have been very pleased with the performance of the shoes.

Best In Show!

Best running shoes I’ve ever had! Perfect balance (literally) of bounce and stability. I also train for hybrid races (DEKA FIT/STRONG/MILE) and they are amazing for all the zone work as well. This will NOT be my last pair! And the black and neon colorway is amazing!

Hands-down, these are the best running shoes I’ve owned. I pretty much have every color they make

Did Gillette Design The Heels?

These shoes are great in the forefoot, and I like the cushioning and spring. The heel however is brutal. Maybe Saucony should start making razor blades. I've done 10 miles in them in total, split up into two sessions, and the last one I just had to stop running and walk carefully home. I tried using Compeeds, but the heel still protrudes. Do the even test these shoes on human feet?

Baker 2 Vegas Players.

My go to for reading in the Las Vegas desert heat. The shoes are light, fast, and aggressive.

Balanced Race Day Shoe

The perfect half to full marathon shoe for me. Wonderfully cushioned, yet speed demons when they want to be. These shoes have that special magic of being a supportive race day shoe, while also giving me that quick turnover and pop I love from Saucony. Also great for those long marathon tempo training days. Bonus that the colorways are 🔥

Good But Not Great

Comfortable but inferior to Kinvara design. Rubs my foot at the tongue since it does not lace up. Carbon fiber shoe base is terrific like previous pro models. Please bring back Kinvara pro this is the best running shoe Saucony has ever designed

First Race Shoes

Ran in these shoes for my first half marathon and these felt amazing. Felt no PTT flare ups, these shoes carried me to the finish line!! Made my first race (first of many) feel amazing.
