Saucony Endorphin Pro 5

Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 review: what runners say

Fit

Secure, wraparound fit with a sock-like feel thanks to the technical mesh. True to size; the toe box offers enough room even on a narrow foot.

Feel

Responsive but not explosive: the dual-compound PWRRUN HG/PB midsole delivers stability and precision rather than softness or maximum energy return. The carbon plate is barely noticeable at easy paces.

Durability

Estimated ~350 km in race use and up to 500 km in quality training; outsole shows minimal wear after 190 km. PWRTRAC rubber does not cover the entire contact surface.

Best for

Neutral or mildly overpronating runners up to ~75 kg looking for a stable, predictable super shoe. Best suited for shorter distances (5K–10K) and the half marathon; works as a premium trainer for quality sessions as well.

Weak points

Heavier than the category average (232 g men's). Some runners report Achilles tendon irritation with back-to-back use; midsole stiffness is noticeable most in the final miles of long runs.
