Confluence Running
Our take
The Endorphin Pro 5 belongs in a comparison for a dedicated road-racing shoe. Its dual-foam midsole and carbon plate give it a different purpose from an everyday trainer. Compare it with Endorphin Speed 6 for faster training, then choose according to race plans, fit and how the platform feels at your intended pace.
Fit before category
Fit & feel
Test heel security, midfoot pressure and toe clearance with your race socks. Try a controlled turn as well as straight-line running at a relevant pace. A racing fit should still leave usable room for your toes. Use the live size and width selectors and compare the exact men's or women's listing.
We fit shoes against your foot shape, width, comfort, movement and intended use—not just a label like “neutral” or “stability.”
How the shoe works
Technology & ride
PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG form the Pro 5's dual-layer midsole. A slotted carbon plate works with SPEEDROLL geometry, while PWRTRAC rubber supplies outsole coverage. Plate construction and foam names here apply to Pro 5, not every Endorphin generation.
