Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 Men’s Running Shoes
Snappy. Light. Built for PBs.
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is made for runners chasing fast sessions, smooth long runs, and the occasional race day effort. Whether you’re on track, road, or tempo work, this shoe delivers a responsive yet stable ride thanks to a refined nylon plate sandwiched between two layers of PWRRUN PB foam.
It’s light underfoot, but durable where it matters. The new mesh upper locks in a secure fit without adding bulk, while the full-length outsole groove and added heel rubber provide flow and traction - helping you stay quick and efficient from take-off to toe-off.
This is a neutral running shoe that’s ideal for Kiwi runners training at pace or building up for events from 5K through to the half marathon and beyond.

Cushion
-
PWRRUN PB: A great combination of cushioning and energy return, firm enough to propel and soft enough to cushion.
---------------
Neutral
-
Normal sized Arches.
-
During push off there is an even distribution from the front of the foot.
-
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward to absorb the shock and support body weight.
---------------
Drop
-
The difference from the heel of the shoe to the forefoot.
-
Shoes with a higher heel drop tend to be preferred by runners that land heel-first.
-
Shoes with a lower heel drop are often favoured by forefoot or midfoot strikers.
