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

I wore these shoes for my Miami Hyrox Pro Women’s Doubles race, and they were incredible. From the start, my stride felt bouncy, balanced, and powerful—like the shoe was actively propelling me forward. Through sled pushes and every station, I felt completely locked in with zero slippage. The support was spot-on, and the fit was true to size, which made a huge difference under race conditions. I’d absolutely recommend these for anyone competing in Hyrox or any running event. If you’re chasing a personal best—or any goal—these shoes will help get you there.

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.

I was so excited to get these for my upcoming Marathon. I train in the Endorphin Speed 5 and wanted a little 'extra' on race day. I started wearing these a few weeks out and the blisters at the back of my ankles are insane. The back of shoe at the top as near nothing in terms of padding like their other shoes (to save weight I believe) but it doesn't work, it felt like the back of my ankle was rubbing on stiff sandpaper. I felt this within the first km. I've tried on three more runs and nope, not taking the chance of using these in my marathon. SO so so disappointed. I'm all for a lighter shoe, but not when it becomes uncomfortable and in my case, unwearable.

I love the Endorphin Pro line; the Endorphin Pro 3 was my absolute favorite; best shoe ever. The 4 was ok, and while the 5 feels good on the feet, it has one big issue: the back collar of the shoe. It digs into my left ankle pretty badly and tape doesn't work to protect it. Its hard and firm and unforgiving and i couldn't wear these for a marathon this weekend, which was very disappointing. It's not an issue i ever have with my ankle or shoes. I love Saucony and will keep hoping for a return to glory! Nothing compares to the 3s and each new version seems to get further from what made them great :-(

I ran a half marathon in Philly with these!!! I broke the nothing new on race day rule by running a half marathon on my second time wearing these shoes. I love the bounce and comfort of these running shoes.

Can we just simply say: “FIRE”!!!! These shoes are frickin AMAZING! Very comfortable, fit perfectly! The color is FANTABULOUS! Just overall a great shoe!!! LOVE…LOVE….LOVE!!!

The worst saucony shoe I have ever purchase... prob my 5th paid of endorphins, I wore them once and the blisters and pain above my heel is insane... worse than a blister, it actually wore down my skin to the bone. I messaged saucony because I am a long time Kinvara, Endorphin and ride wearer, and they only offered my a 20 percent off my next pair... I paid over 200 on these shoes and I cannot wear them again.. I tried to stretch them and break them in but they are just made wrong.. So disappointing

Could not race in these because they rub my Achilles so bad, very painful. Super disappointing because I love my Endorphin Speed shoes, and I love the Saucony Rides for training.
