The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 builds on the success of the Speed 4 and delivers a range of improvements that make it an even stronger choice for both high-volume training and tempo runs.
Responsiveness and propulsion
The responsiveness of the midsole is still one of the shoe's strongest features, and feels even more energetic in this version. The updated nylon plate is slightly wider than before and gives clearly improved stability through the stride, especially at high intensity.
Improved stability and sole construction
The Speed 5 has a wider platform, which adds stability without negatively affecting the ride. The outsole has also been redesigned, giving better grip and durability – especially on varied surfaces. This makes the shoe more predictable and confidence-inspiring on both short and long runs.
New and improved upper
The upper has been redesigned with a breathable, technical mesh. It gives good support around the foot while staying flexible and comfortable. The fit feels secure without being too tight, making the shoe suitable for a wide range of runners.

Drop: 8 mm
Stack height: 28 mm (forefoot) / 36 mm (heel)

Conclusion
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is a very versatile running shoe with good upgrades from the previous model. It combines low weight, high responsiveness, a stable construction and a comfortable fit. A shoe that suits both fast interval sessions and easy long runs, and works very well as a high-volume training shoe with racing potential.
