Description
The Endorphin Pro 5 is Saucony carbon super-shoe built for athletes wanting race performance from 5K to marathon without elite pricing. Dual-layer midsole: top layer of supercritical PWRRUN HG (extended laterally for inherent stability) over PWRRUN PB superfoam base with strategic cutout that lightens without compromising cushioning. New carbon fiber plate with aggressive slots paired with improved SpeedRoll geometry: more direct, propulsive toe-off than Pro 4. 39.5mm heel / 31.5mm forefoot stack (8mm drop, measured 8.7mm), new PWRTRAC rubber outsole for increased grip. Weight 206g (US 9). Recycled engineered mesh upper, breathable and lightweight. Saucony positioned it as accessible super-shoe: better stability than Vaporfly and Adios Pro 4, perfect for heel strikers. For hybrid athletes doing serious road racing, the best performance/price/stability balance in 2026. Also usable as heavy workout shoe for fast sessions thanks to new outsole durability.

They fly on race day
Perfect for race day: huge energy return and a smooth toe-off transition. 10K PB on the first try.

Insane propulsion
Lively foam and a propulsive plate: at race pace it feels like floating. I keep them for races only. Takes a couple of runs to break in.

My race-day weapon
A real super-shoe: stable for the class with explosive propulsion. Foam still holds after 3 races.
C.E. from Palermo Verified purchase - 5 / 5
Smashed my PB
Used them for a half marathon: the carbon plate and responsive foam give a pop I'd never felt. Featherlight on foot.
