SAUCONY WOMEN'S ENDORPHIN SPEED 6

GURU TIP: More bounce, less weight, the Speed keeps getting smarter.

TECH TIP: The Saucony Endorphin Speed returns for a 6th round, and this time the upgrade is under the hood. Saucony swapped the PWRRUN PB foam from the Speed 5 for PWRRUN PBX, a beaded PEBA foam that's firmer underfoot but noticeably more responsive, giving you extra pop without feeling mushy. A redesigned full-length nylon speedplate ditches the old winged shape for a smoother, more flexible ride through toe-off. Stack height climbs to roughly 38mm in the heel while the drop holds steady at 8mm, and somehow this version comes in lighter than the Speed 5 despite the extra cushion, about 7.1oz for women's in a size 8. The engineered mesh upper stays light and breathable, and XT-900 rubber up front keeps grip solid on tempo days and race day alike. Still the same jack-of-all-trades super trainer, just faster and lighter about it.

BUY THIS SHOE IF... you want race-day pop in a shoe that can also handle your everyday training miles.

DON'T BUY THIS SHOE IF... you want max durability from your outsole. Rubber coverage is still forefoot-focused, so heavy heel-strikers may see wear faster.
