Saucony Endorphin Speed 5

Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 review: what runners say

Fit

More wrapped feel than the Speed 4, with a higher and roomier toebox. Wide-footers may struggle: the 2E version is expected January 2026.

Feel

Bouncy, responsive ride, less stiff than the Speed 4. Performs best at marathon pace and faster; manageable at easy pace but not its natural territory.

Durability

Direct mileage data not available for the Speed 5. RunRepeat flags a durability downgrade vs. predecessors. The Speed 2 exceeded 600 km according to one user.

Best for

Runners with a limited rotation looking for a versatile shoe: threshold work, interval training, races up to the half marathon. Not ideal as a pure recovery shoe.

Weak points

Some wide-footed runners report tightness at the fifth metatarsal. RunRepeat notes a drop in agility vs. previous versions and a price increase.
