Endorphin Speed 5

I love the SB2s and have the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 in my rotation. They feel less bouncy than SB2 and definitely quicker turnover IME.

I’ve had the the Saucony ES4 and ES5 in my rotation and love my Adidas Adios Pro 4s.

I have these and they are reliable and quality distance shoes. I run road marathons in them. I’d like to get a pair of the pros but haven’t tried those yet. 

They haven’t updated the foam in 4 years, tweaked but same foam compound since version 1. Saucony is doing a whole refresh of foams in 2026 for half the line.

This one for me as well.

I love the ES4, but for me the ES5 has become a better all arounder. It's just a bit more comfortable for the really long runs.

Saucony ES5. It can do it all for me and doesn't suffer from the cramped toe box of the ES4 (which I also love). I find that it's also a hair softer than the ES4.

This. The ES4 is my speed shoe and I’ve been using the ES5 for long runs, especially when I want to pick up the pace. The 5 feels much more cushioned and bouncy than the 4, though I don’t think there is a stack difference. Also the toe box on the 5 got fixed for those with wider feet.

Saucony for sure. The Endorphin Speed line is something I’m unwilling to give up. Use them for about 80% of my miles.

Love the Saucony Speed 4. Upgraded to Speed 5 a few months ago and hated them. I don’t know what they changed but they aren’t as good. Got another pair of Speed 4s - don’t know what I’ll do when they wear down🥹😭

Do you need a racing shoe or just something in the rotation? If it's something in the roatation I think a long run/tempo shoe is what you'd love. I have owned all the pairs you have and I also love my novablast 5 a lot. I currently have a superblast 2 for my long run and endorphin speed 5 for some up tempo stuff. I think a superblast 2 would be good I also agree with a lot of the other recommendations like the zoom fly 6 or Sonic blast. Haven't tried the sonicblast yet but it seems like a superblast/endorphin speed hybrid which is perfect for what you'd need

Evo SL is a worse Megablast. I’d go for the Speed 5 or the other shoes you mentioned.

I run in both. Regardless of the price point or geometric differences, the Evo SL serves the same purpose in a rotation as the Megablast. Uptempo daily trainer. Except the Evo SL is a worse version of the Megablast. Worse upper, worse fit, worse for all footstrikes, worse durability, worse stability, worse tongue, worse laces. Yeah price makes a difference but OP already owns the Megablast so why would he buy a WORSE version of a shoe he already owns that serves the same PURPOSE of a shoe he already owns.
