Awesome Shoe
Originally posted on Saucony
I have been running on and off for over a decade, but never took it that seriously, and never bothered to do any research into shoes. I would often run in regular trainers and not pay too much attention. Last summer, I decided to get more serious about running, in order to run faster and set some new PBs. Eventually I stumbled on this shoe, and after doing some research decided I would give it a try. To my surprise, the moment I got these shoes its like a whole new level of running was unlocked for me. I set multiple PBs back to back to back. It was absolutely incredible. I never knew how big of a difference a shoe could make for speed. I've been running in these shoes for over 6 months now, and put over 500kms in them and they are still going strong, no noticeable decline in speed or comfort. I might be able to get another 500kms out of them! These shoes are a 5/5 for me. That being said in you decide to run a lot more you might want to keep these shoes for your Tempo/Threshold workouts and not use them as a daily trainer. They are fast (which I love), but aren't going to take care of your legs if you run a lot and use them for every workout. Super happy with my purchase.

Light, breathable and good cushion. I’m impressed with fabrication quality and durability. No deteriorating stitching yet, 900+ miles later.

This is the best running shoe for intervals/tempo I have ever had. It’s fun, reactive and easy to adapt. If you like a more mushy feeling, this is not the shoe for you, but given how stable the ride is, it’s great for the biomechanics. I recently ran the United NYC HM in 1:27 at it was a great shoe!

Fantastic Update

I've worn multiple iterations of each model since the OG came out. This recent update is fantastic! Great response and cushion, and while I always size up I would suggest sizing up even more as this update runs a little short.

Fast & Comfortable

I already ran more than 450km with this Speed 5 within 4 months, the shoes provided me a very good support while have a fast run training and i felt that the feeling seems more prefect during the second half of the training.

Bought these shoes in preparation to running a Half Marathon. I had been switching from New Balance 1080 (too heavy) and Asics (not much support). From the moment I tried these Endorphin Speed 5 on, I felt the comfort and support. I have now used them to run my long runs (7, 8 , 9 and 10 miles) and honestly they have not disappointed, I feel the comfort and support throughout the runs and love the spacious width on the toes. Just like all of you out there I was SKEPTICAL! and I know now every shoe is for everyone, but I definitely recommend these. By the way! these will be the ones I will use to run the half marathon.

Volatile Organic Compound plastics smell
Originally posted on Saucony
No, I don't recommend this
The Saucony products following the Kinvara 15s all smell like PCBs and VOCs. The smell is intense like cheap plastic shower curtains. The smell penetrates the socks too. I'd like to write management a letter to provide feedback, however, I can only find this product-specific feedback form.

Feel less aggressive than the speed 4's, but absolutely love them. Good balance of support and responsiveness. Will be buying another pair when mileage hits. Saucony needs to keep producing bright hot pink shoes for guys. Look fast be fast

Endorphin Speed 5 review
Originally posted on Saucony
I wanted to love these shoes they’re light as advertised and feel fast underfoot… but for me they just didn’t deliver where it counts. First off, the weight is insane. You really feel like you’re flying, and they make easy miles feel effortless. But here’s the kicker the cushioning is way underwhelming. I only had them about a month and ended up dealing with plantar fasciitis symptoms that I never had before. That tells me the stack & rebound just weren’t protecting my feet on my typical runs. For a daily trainer that’s supposed to handle volume, that’s a no-go for me. They’re great for short, fast efforts, but honestly, I expected more comfort and durability for the price. Light ≠ supportive, and these leaned too far on light for my feet. If you want fast and light for short workouts, they’re decent. But if you’re looking for a shoe you can run lots of miles comfortably, steer toward something with better cushioning, these just weren’t it for me.

I am very pleased with Saucony Endorphin speed 5. I owned a pair of older model. I enjoy the updated version. I have a wide foot and the fit great! I enjoy the lightweight foam. I have been purchasing Saucony’s since the 80’s. I enjoy the brand

Bought these a couple months ago, great all round shoe for races, speed work, and just regular runs too. Snap is pretty good and the shoe is light.

Love the speed 5 for my moderate paces around 6:30-7:30 pace. I also like to use it on my long runs because it is so light and comfortable to run in. I find it’s easy to find a pace and stick to it with the speed 5.
