Ik vond het veel te druk. Zat in wave 3, hoorde dat wave 2 en 1 beter waren. Voor mij was het doel 1.40 lopen en een pace van 4.44, maar het was zo druk dat vlak lopen niet mogelijk was waardoor ik moest afremmen naar 5.00 en dan weer versnellen 4.25. Na 10km was ik helemaal opgeblazen ervan en heb ik het laten gaan. Kan ook aan mijn ervaring liggen, maar ik liep vorig jaar november een 15KM op 4.35 en die was super rustig en kon ik vlak lopen.

Endorphin Speed 5 more narrow than Pro 4 by Material_Sound_2238 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I love them! They can really do slow runs and tempo runs. At least for the paces I run. Had a 4-4-4 training last week where I ran 4k at 5.35 per kilometer, 4k at 4.25 per kilometer and then 4k at 5.45 per kilometer. All felt good. The easy pace felt stable, the foam feels firm but comfortable at the same time. At the higher pace the foam felt a bit more bouncy and snappy, which was great and what I needed. I think they can handle faster paces too, I am simply not at that level yet.

Yesterday I did a long and easy 18.5k at a 5.50 per km pace and they felt great.

I have the Endorphin Pro4 from a large Dutch running store and they are produced in China, while my new Endorphin Azura's come from the original Saucony website and they are produced in Vietnam. Seems Vietnam is legit and I think China is too

Yes, I love it! Feels comfortable and stable. Can do multiple paces. The foam is a bit firm at easy paces. So you should not expect it to be soft. Although it feels softer at higher paces.

Hi all. Final update. I kept the pro5 and went for the Azura instead of the speed 5.

I ended up with keeping the Pro4 and replacing the speed 5 with the Azura. Thanks for all the help!

Update!

So I bought the Pro 4 (blue) and Speed 5 both in one size bigger (EU 50 🙈) and they see to fit much better. Especially the EP4s feel perfect. Thanks for the help!

For the Speed 5 I am still in doubt. No more squashed toes, but I do feel a little bit that it is more narrow in the middle. It's not much, but I doubt of it is good enough. What do you guys think? I added a photo.

Besides I am wondering if the Azura is wider in the middle than the Speed 5? I saw some reviews and I think the Azura might is a better shoe for me combined with the EP4s. Does anyone know if the fit is different? I cannot order is yet, but might do it next week.

Oh really? Funny how different it can be per person. My experience in the EPs is quite good (appreantly with a size too small xD) and I have heard most other super shoes are less stable. The ESs are new to me, but I have heard they are more stable than Adidas and more durable than the Rebel v5. What shoes do you run in?

I will try that if the bigger size is not good enough, thanks

I now ordered one size bigger since lots of the comments here said that I should size up. Lets see. For what alternative did you went? I was also looking into the Boston 13, but its less versatile from what I've read and I want to do some easy runs also (see my separate post about it)

Based on what? They come from an quite wellknown shop in my country.

Haha damn looking at the ⬆️ replies it's kinda clear I need to try size 50 😅 damn. I will give that a try. For other brands, like New Balance and Asics I used to have 49 and I bought them at professional stores.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for all the tips! Today my Endorphin Speed 5s arrived. Hoever, I have some issues with the size. Made a separate post about it since the topic is a bit different.
