When it comes to shoes designed to combine speed and versatility, the new Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 ticks all the boxes. With this fifth version, the American brand continues the evolution of its flagship model, designed for demanding runners who want a high-performance shoe for both training and competition.
SpeedRoll technology offers a progressive forward tilt, guaranteeing a fluid, intuitive roll-off without an exaggerated trampoline effect. Ideal for natural relaunching from the very first strides.
This highly responsive foam ensures excellent energy return while absorbing impact, balancing comfort and dynamism, whether you’re on a long run or a fast session.
More flexible than a carbon plate, it structures the shoe and provides effective recovery without excessive rigidity. This enables natural pace transitions, without locking in tempo.
The central groove aligns the stride, improves stability and reduces energy loss during foot-to-ground transitions – for a more efficient, fluid stride.
If you’re aiming for pure performance over 10 km or half-marathons, an Endorphin Elite or Endorphin Pro with carbon plate will offer greater stiffness and responsiveness at high speeds. But for everyday training and versatility, the Speed 5 is a wise choice: it combines performance, comfort and the feel of a carbon plate, while preserving these more demanding models.
The Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for versatile runners who alternate intensities and training formats:
→ Active footing: ideal for 70-75% VMA, it combines comfort and tone.
→ Tempo or threshold outputs: good propulsion and stroke economy.
→ Split sessions (10x400m, 5x1000m): lightness, recovery, ground hold.
→ Races up to half-marathons: durable cushioning and reassuring stability.
If you’re looking for a more accessible and forgiving alternative to a carbon-plate model, the Speed 5 remains a relevant option for training performance while preserving your stride.
