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

I was so excited to get these for my upcoming Marathon. I train in the Endorphin Speed 5 and wanted a little 'extra' on race day. I started wearing these a few weeks out and the blisters at the back of my ankles are insane. The back of shoe at the top as near nothing in terms of padding like their other shoes (to save weight I believe) but it doesn't work, it felt like the back of my ankle was rubbing on stiff sandpaper. I felt this within the first km. I've tried on three more runs and nope, not taking the chance of using these in my marathon. SO so so disappointed. I'm all for a lighter shoe, but not when it becomes uncomfortable and in my case, unwearable.

So much fun to run in. Very comfortable and lots of spring.

I wore these shoes for my Miami Hyrox Pro Women’s Doubles race, and they were incredible. From the start, my stride felt bouncy, balanced, and powerful—like the shoe was actively propelling me forward. Through sled pushes and every station, I felt completely locked in with zero slippage. The support was spot-on, and the fit was true to size, which made a huge difference under race conditions. I’d absolutely recommend these for anyone competing in Hyrox or any running event. If you’re chasing a personal best—or any goal—these shoes will help get you there.

10/10 recommend the Pro5 for Hyrox. It is the perfect balance of speed, stability, bounce, and grip. When my legs felt tired during the race, they helped keep my stride bouncy. They gave excellent grip for the push and pull stations, allowed me to keep productive form on the lunges, and were supportive throughout the wallballs. Whether you're just starting Hyrox training, or looking for a speed boost, this should be your go-to racing shoe!

Best shoes I’ve ever put on my feet! They’re weightless and it’s like walking on the clouds! They fit perfect, I have narrow feet and high arches and these shoes are phenomenal! The only bad thing I have to say is…I’m mad I didn’t find these sooner! Thank you Saucony 🤩 Now I’m a Saucony fan forever!

I ran a half marathon in Philly with these!!! I broke the nothing new on race day rule by running a half marathon on my second time wearing these shoes. I love the bounce and comfort of these running shoes.
BGR! 2026
