Saucony London Endorphin Speed 5 Women’s Running Shoes
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 women’s running shoes are built for runners chasing speed on the road. They suit club runners, competitive athletes and anyone training for 5km through to marathon. Best used on sealed roads or the track where pace, efficiency and consistency matter.
This lightweight plated running shoe is designed for tempo runs, intervals and race day efforts where you want to hold speed with less energy loss.
London Inspired Design
This edition is inspired by classic heritage and modern speed, with a design rooted in London's red-and-white flag and iconic rose gardens.
Built for Faster Road Running
At the core is a full length nylon plate paired with PWRRUN PB cushioning. The plate helps drive you forward through toe off, while the foam delivers a responsive feel without being overly firm.
On New Zealand roads, whether you're running along the waterfront or pushing through a club session, the shoe transitions smoothly and feels quick underfoot. It offers a strong balance of propulsion and control, which makes it more versatile than stiffer carbon plated race shoes.
Fit and Ride
The engineered mesh upper keeps the shoe light while holding your foot securely during faster efforts. The women’s specific fit is shaped to better match foot anatomy, giving a more secure feel through the heel and midfoot.
There’s enough structure to limit movement when cornering or changing pace, which is useful during intervals or group runs where speed shifts quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these suitable for everyday running or just speed work?
They can handle both, but they’re best suited to tempo runs, intervals and faster efforts. For easy mileage, some runners prefer a softer daily trainer.
How do they compare to carbon plated running shoes?
The nylon plate is more flexible, making them easier to control and more comfortable for training compared to stiffer carbon options.
Do they work well on wet roads?
Yes. The outsole provides solid grip on typical wet New Zealand roads, though care is still needed on painted or smooth surfaces.
Is the fit true to size?
Most runners can go with their usual size. The women’s fit offers a secure feel through the heel and midfoot without being overly tight.
Can I race a marathon in these?
Yes. Many runners use them from 5km through to marathon distance due to the balance of cushioning and propulsion.
