I am 57 years old and I just ran a 15k in these shoes. I absolutely love these shoes. Stable, supportive and super comfy! Not to mention, so cute! 🥰
This is my go-to running show. Very happy with this latest version.
I’ve tried so many shoes searching for the perfect HYROX shoe for both training and race day, and this one finally checks all the boxes! It’s flexible enough for sled pushes, springy for jumping and running at faster speeds, and still comfortable at slower paces. Best of all, I’ve had no knee or joint pain like I usually feel with carbon-plated shoes—so it’s definitely beginner-friendly. The only downside (and why I took off one star) is that the tongue is way too short and the laces are too short for tying a runner’s knot. The size is true to size and the toe box is in the wider side so I don't recommend this if you have narrow feet.
I am a loyal Endorphin Speed show buyer and I have been disappointed with the changes from 3 to 4 to 5. The tongue is oddly short and the laces are super short. Why does each shoe have different lace styles? One of my shoes had round laces that slipped a lot, another had a nice normal length and my recent pair - super short. I bought my normal size and this time they are slightly too small. My toes hurt after long runs. I have to buy another pair and half size larger for long runs. Ugh. Stop messing with a good thing! Go back to Speed 3!!!!
Purchased these along with my Endorphin Pro 5 so I have these primarily to train in. I will say the shoe laces are so strange - they are not long enough which is crazy because I just laced up the Endorphin Pro 5 and so much longer. It makes it really difficult to tie and feel secure. Not excited about "oh just buy different laces' as they should come like the Endorphin Pro 5
I have purchased somewhere between 10-15 pairs of the Saucony Endorphin Speeds to wear for daily training runs over the past 4 years. They are my ride or die shoe and l’ve worn the 3,4 and 5s. However, the last 5s I purchased will not stop squeaking! They drive me and my fellow run buddies crazy! They feel fine, they just sound terrible. At least one other reviewer mentioned this. I should have listened. I purchased in early March and have worn for several runs hoping I could break them in and get rid of the squeak. I have been unsuccessful, despite putting a decent amount of mileage on them.
The endorphin speed five are perfect combination of lightweight for my factor as well as supportive for marathon training. I am currently pursuing. I love the color options, they are very unique. I find that the fit is right on target with my shoe size. Overall, these are phenomenal shoes! I highly recommend for faster, training sessions and distance running.
I am a SAHM with 5 kids and lives in tennis shoes. I wear them to workout in and to live my life. I have had success with Asics and enjoy HOKA and ON. I am picky when it comes to a good shoe. My feet are flat and run on the thinner side andI love this shoe. Feels snug in a good way and offers lots of support. Also feels light on my feet. Highly recommend
Saucony are the only shoes that I can comfortably wear due to various foot issues that require custom orthotics. Some models are hit or miss but these shoes fit well and are comfortable. The only complaint I have is the shoes are noisy/squeaky when I walk. I wish they weren't squeaky.
I am very grateful that they changed the color of the shoes I originally bought, but although I am very satisfied with the color, the shoes do not meet my expectations—especially when compared to the same model I bought a year ago. They make a lot of noise when I walk, like low-quality rubber, and they aren't as comfortable as previous pairs I've owned. I don't think I'll buy this brand again.
