Saucony Endorphin Speed 5

I bought these because they were on sale. I was a fan of the ES4. The 5s are just as good as the 4s, but I really dislike the new lacing system. Eyelets are better. The new system makes it hard to lace up. I have to lace up the shoes in a different pattern, because of wider feet. It’s really hard to thread the laces through the fabric openings.

Best Wide Feet Race Day Shoes Available!

Not many Options available for Wide Feet with Nylon/Carbon Plates, Saucony made an incredible shoe with the Endorphin Speed 5's. From first Use they were comfortable, spacious in the toe box, and springy to make the next step more powerful. No issues to my feet whatsoever after Finishing IRONMAN Texas!!

Excited To Put This Shoe On

I bought these about a month ago and they are now my favorite in my running collection. I started taking running as a more serious hobby this year and needed something for my faster runs. This shoe is fantastic for the tempo and interval runs. I am seriously excited to put these shoes on. Comfort is there, speed is there, bounce is there, stability is there. Stack height isn't obnoxious making it light enough to not feel clunky and the nylon plate is the icing on top making this shoe feel effortless to run in.

Responsive, Stable And Versatile Training Shoe

This is a very stable and responsive tempo running shoe. While that's it's primary use case, I can use this for a very wide variety of paces. The upper fits my foot really well and is quite comfortable so I even use it for recovery runs but it excels at tempo/marathon pace or faster. The stability is wonderful

Great Shoe, Terrible Outsole Design

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.

Very Comfortable Ride

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.

Best Running Shoe Of All Time

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.

Falling Apart In Less Than A Month

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.

Amazing And Great Features.

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.
