“White and grey with coral orange, teal blue and yellow. Came in from another runner. We checked it over: sole grip pattern still clear at the front and heel, only light smoothing, cushioning even and upright, no heavy creasing or leaning. Grey marks and light dirt across the mesh on the front and sides of the shoe, looks only. Dirt and scuffing on the exposed middle part of the sole, normal for this foam and doesn't change how they run. Cleaned, original laces. Ready for easy runs, long runs and recovery days.”

Expert summary
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is widely praised by experts and users for its versatility, excelling especially at tempo paces and structured workouts due to its lightweight build, responsive PWRRUN PB midsole, and nylon plate, which provide a snappy yet cushioned ride. It is also highly suitable for daily training and long runs, as the updated foam and slightly softer ride make it comfortable for extended efforts without excessive firmness or instability. The shoe is considered a strong option for racing, particularly for runners who prefer a more stable, less aggressive alternative to carbon-plated super shoes, though it may not match the absolute top-end performance of dedicated race models. Its moderate support and smooth transitions make it accessible for a wide range of paces, but it is not designed for trail running due to limited traction and lack of protection for technical terrain. For recovery runs, it is adequate but not ideal, as some runners may prefer a softer, more plush shoe for easy days.
Ideal as, Speedwork. Best suited for intermediate to advanced runners who value versatility and want a single shoe for speedwork, long runs, and occasional racing. Ideal for those with a neutral gait who appreciate a lively, moderately cushioned ride and need a shoe that transitions smoothly between training intensities.
Pros
- Exceptionally versatile—handles everything from easy miles to tempo runs and even race day efforts without feeling out of place
- Lightweight construction with a responsive PWRRUN PB midsole delivers energetic cushioning that keeps legs fresh over long distances
- Breathable, engineered mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable, even during intense workouts or warm weather runs
- Improved outsole coverage enhances durability and grip, making the shoe suitable for frequent use across varied conditions
Cons
- Slightly heavier than previous versions, which may be noticed by runners seeking the lightest possible feel for racing
- Some runners report minor lateral heel movement, which could affect stability for those with narrow heels or who prefer a locked-in rearfoot fit
- The foam’s unique texture and ride may not appeal to those who prefer a softer or more traditional underfoot feel
