I echo the negative comments about the blisters on my heel. The back of the shoe is higher on my heel than the 4.0 and starts chafing after a mile. Changing socks/adding bandages really doesn't help. The rest of the shoe seems fine, but this is an absolute deal breaker as this is my preferred shoe for longer races. Love the 4.0, but the rubbing on my heel on this version is a large step in the wrong direction.

I bought the shoes about 2 weeks ago and I love running in them. They are cushioned which helps with shock absorption and yet very light. The carbon plate really helps with running faster.

The spot over the heel is incredibly irritating and painful, no change after a month Pros: great stiff forefoot, lightweight, love the stretch of the top fabric of the shoe.

I returned this shoe. It was difficult to get them on, very tight. And the curved sole felt very de-stabilizing. Did not like the 'rocking' sensation

Blister galore even with a variey of socks that cover the ankle and not as springy as the Endorphin Pro 4. Unfortunately, a let down, and will be returning these. Perhaps have runners test these when making them! Bring back the 4.

These shoes are very light and comfortable. They also have good grip for sled push and great for fast transition on HIIT / functional training . It makes running so comfortable. So pleased and highly recommend.

I absolutely love how comfortable these shoes are, The only downside is the back is soft and collapses when putting them on. I recommend ordering them a half size up from what you normally wear.
This is nothing like the Pro 4, which I loved. The Pro 5 doesn’t have the springiness/ responsiveness like the Pro 4, which is a huge disappointment. I thought I found my ‘forever’ shoe and am so bad I didn’t buy 15 pair of the Pro 4. Please change it back!!

Run small. Hurt my feet. I would never wear for more than a 5K. I felt like my Ride 17's were more bouncy and responsive. Not AT ALL what I expected out of a "super shoe" I have been running for 25 years and have never been so disappointed in a shoe. These are absolutely not worth the price.

Wore for a marathon— they were comfortable for the race. There was a little heel rubbing on the 2 practice runs I did in them, but that resolved. I got a PR and the shoes may have helped.
Disappointed
Could not race in these because they rub my Achilles so bad, very painful. Super disappointing because I love my Endorphin Speed shoes, and I love the Saucony Rides for training.

The worst saucony shoe I have ever purchase... prob my 5th paid of endorphins, I wore them once and the blisters and pain above my heel is insane... worse than a blister, it actually wore down my skin to the bone. I messaged saucony because I am a long time Kinvara, Endorphin and ride wearer, and they only offered my a 20 percent off my next pair... I paid over 200 on these shoes and I cannot wear them again.. I tried to stretch them and break them in but they are just made wrong.. So disappointing

Huge huge huge fan of pro line - pro 4 were absolutely incredible (went through 5 of them). First day on pro 5 and they’re a significantly stiffer shoe, i’m really hoping they just need a bit of wiggling to soften up to my comfort. Once/If the feet discomfort wavers, I think this will be a new favorite!

I love the Endorphin Pro line; the Endorphin Pro 3 was my absolute favorite; best shoe ever. The 4 was ok, and while the 5 feels good on the feet, it has one big issue: the back collar of the shoe. It digs into my left ankle pretty badly and tape doesn't work to protect it. Its hard and firm and unforgiving and i couldn't wear these for a marathon this weekend, which was very disappointing. It's not an issue i ever have with my ankle or shoes. I love Saucony and will keep hoping for a return to glory! Nothing compares to the 3s and each new version seems to get further from what made them great :-(

They are very good looking shoes but they’re very stiff and the heel has not been worn in yet. It continues to skin my ankle. I Endorphin Pro 4 were my favorite sneaker and I wore them to the ground. Wish these were more similar but I still like them and hope they morph into more soft
