Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for male runners seeking speed and a smooth ride, whether for track workouts or personal best attempts. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a new nylon plate and responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning for snappy transitions.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is designed as an up-tempo shoe, ideal for pushing the pace during track workouts, tempo runs, and chasing personal records. It's also versatile enough for long, moderate training sessions.

How does the nylon plate enhance performance?

The winged nylon plate provides torsional rigidity for stability while returning energy with each stride, contributing to a snappy and propulsive ride. It works with the Speedroll technology to propel you forward.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, the combination of lightweight cushioning, propulsive plate, and Speedroll technology makes it a strong contender for marathon racing, especially for runners who prefer a faster, more responsive feel.

What is the difference between PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN cushioning?

PWRRUN PB is Saucony's ultralight and highly responsive foam, offering maximum energy return. PWRRUN is a more traditional EVA-based foam, typically offering a balance of cushioning and durability suitable for everyday training.

How do I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 trainers?

Gently clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth, focusing on removing dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?

The Endorphin Speed 5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

Who is the target audience for this shoe?

This shoe is aimed at runners seeking a fast, responsive, and versatile trainer. It's particularly well-suited for those who engage in speed work, tempo runs, and want a shoe that can handle both training and racing.

Troubleshooting

Foot slippage inside the shoe.

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure midfoot lockdown. Ensure the heel is properly seated before lacing.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

The PWRRUN PB foam is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use will eventually reduce its responsiveness. Consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use.

Poor traction on wet surfaces.

While the XT-900 outsole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For significant wet running, consider specialized wet-weather tires if available.

Discomfort during the first few runs.

Allow a break-in period of a few runs to let the shoe adapt to your foot and gait. Ensure the fit is correct; consult sizing guides if unsure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Responsive cushioning for a propulsive ride.
  • Lightweight design for enhanced speed.
  • Durable outsole provides excellent grip.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable.
  • Engineered for fast transitions and momentum.

Cons

  • May feel too firm for runners seeking maximum plush cushioning.
  • Nylon plate is optimized for speed, potentially less ideal for very slow runs.
  • Best suited for neutral runners; may not offer enough support for severe overpronation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure midfoot lockdown without being too tight, preventing slippage while allowing for natural foot swell during longer runs.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are compatible with most running surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners. For those with significant overpronation, a stability shoe might be a more appropriate choice.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud from the outsole and upper. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Never machine wash or dry your shoes. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the materials.
