Saucony
It's the shoe brand that's easy to wear but tricky to say. Saucony, pronounced SOCK-uh-nee, has been running strong since 1898, when four young businessmen opened a shoe manufacturing company in a two-story brick factory on Saucony Creek in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Today, as always, the brand's shoes are synonymous with innovation, comfort, quality construction and style.

Not Worth It
Run small. Hurt my feet. I would never wear for more than a 5K. I felt like my Ride 17's were more bouncy and responsive. Not AT ALL what I expected out of a "super shoe" I have been running for 25 years and have never been so disappointed in a shoe. These are absolutely not worth the price.

Not the pro 4
This is nothing like the Pro 4, which I loved. The Pro 5 doesn’t have the springiness/ responsiveness like the Pro 4, which is a huge disappointment. I thought I found my ‘forever’ shoe and am so bad I didn’t buy 15 pair of the Pro 4. Please change it back!!

Achilles Rubbing
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.

The worst!
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

Stiffer Shoe - Amazing Feel
Huge huge huge fan of pro line - pro 4 were absolutely incredible (went through 5 of them). First day on pro 5 and they’re a significantly stiffer shoe, i’m really hoping they just need a bit of wiggling to soften up to my comfort. Once/If the feet discomfort wavers, I think this will be a new favorite!

Thanks for the great feedback!

Nice feel but painful on the back of the ankle
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 :-(
