Endorphin Speed 5 versus Endorphin Pro 4: which one is for training and which is for race day?

The Endorphin Speed uses a nylon-fibre plate, which is more forgiving underfoot across high-mileage training weeks. The Pro uses a carbon fibre plate for maximum energy return at race pace. Most coaches recommend using the Speed for 80 percent of your running and reserving the Pro for race day or key workout sessions; this approach also extends the lifespan of both shoes significantly.

What makes the Endorphin Elite 2 different from the Pro 4, and is it worth buying for a club runner?

The Elite 2 is a lighter, stiffer, more aggressive race shoe than the Pro 4: less foam underfoot, less heel-to-toe drop, and a compressed upper that prioritises weight savings over comfort. It is designed for sub-3 hour marathon runners who benefit from the efficiency gains. For most club-level runners logging 40 to 60 km per week, the Pro 4 delivers similar race-day performance with a more forgiving ride.

How does Saucony Endorphin sizing work for Indian runners, particularly for wider feet?

Saucony runs true to length across the Endorphin range but fits narrow through the midfoot due to the racing last design. Runners with wider forefeet should try the Speed 5 Wide (2E) version, which KM stocks for both Men's and Women's. In standard width, sizing up half a size is the common solution for runners used to New Balance or Brooks whose lasts are cut wider.
