Saucony Endorphin Speed 5
The current Endorphin Speed sticks with PWRRUN PB and the winged nylon plate while trimming weight and dialing in the fit. It remains the do-it-all workout shoe for runners who want super-shoe feel without super-shoe fragility or price. Handles tempos, intervals, long runs, and racing when you don't want a stiff carbon plate.
