Saucony  Endorphin Pro 5 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

I’ve been a big fan of the Endorphin Pro line and have ran a lot of miles in both the Endorphin Pro 3 and Pro 4 before eventually retiring them. Those were two of my favorite running shoes.. the combination of the plate and foam created a noticeable pop at toe-off that made faster runs feel really fun and efficient. I like the Pro 5… it’s still a good shoe and well made, but the ride feels a bit different to me. Im not getting that edgy pop feel that I really loved... im guessing that was the propulsion that made the Pro 3 and Pro 4 feel so fun to me. One sizing note that may help others.. I’m always a women’s size 5, but but in this line pro 3, pro 4, pro 5 (and also in the new Endorphin Speed 5) I found that going up a half size to a 5.5 provided a much more comfortable fit. I would recommend considering going up half a size. I do like the new pro 5, but runners who loved the fun feel of the Pro 3 and Pro 4 will feel the difference.

Wore them for a quick 6 mile run today. It was great ! So comfy and a smooth stride. SIZE UP! I’m usually a 8.5/9 and ordered a 9 originally. Returned and got a 9.5.

Very comfortable I feel like I was walking on clouds, and after my race I didn’t feel any pain on my feet

I am returning these running shoes today. After two short runs, both times the back of the runners chafed against my achilles and I have developed blisters and skin abrasions. I have already purchased the old version of the Endorphin Pro - Version 4 - as it felt much more comfortable and is a proven and loved version. Also, the color choices for this year's women's 5 version are lacking, in my opinion.

These were the first pair of Sauconys I've purchased and I had really high hopes for them. Upon receipt the shoe box was completely destroyed but luckily the shoes weren't damaged. I got the Mint color drenched pair in size 7.5 and they are true to size, fit well and are very cute! During the first try on I was slightly concerned that these might rub the back of my ankles but thought surely at the price point of these shoes that won't happen. Unfortunately it did. The material choice for that part of the shoe was a poor one, it is very rough. I own several different brands and styles of running shoes and I've never had any that have caused blisters or rub the back of my ankles raw like these do. I caution you if you buy these shoes you must wear socks that cover your ankles with them unless you want blisters. I was very disappointed that this happened especially at the price point of these shoes.

I loved the pro 4 but my toe ended up poking out of the top after 300 miles so I bought the pro 5. They gave me horrible rub blisters in the back the material is completely different than the last model. I hope they can fix this issue. Paying 240 for a a running shoe I should be able to love them. I also agree they don’t have the same pop as the last model.

its upgraded and better than pro 4 !fits too narrow ! go 1 size up !

Size to through fit. Great performance from my recent Tokyo Marathon.

These do not fit the same as the endorphin pro 4s.
