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.
Did you get any bunching of the upper at the bottom of the laces? mine is bunching lots but the non wide version is way to tight. The tongue is also very small and i almost can't do a runners knot
Not Superblast 2 because they're incompatible with wide feet. Zoom Fly 6 might work. Endorphin Speed 5 might work too. They did work with my wide feet but I couldn't stand the heel counter.
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.
