Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking speed and smooth transitions, whether for track nights or personal best attempts. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a new nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for responsive energy return and a fast feel. A potential caveat is that while built for speed, their comfort also makes them suitable for longer, moderate training runs, which might not be the primary focus for some users.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is primarily designed for fast-paced running, including speed days, tempo runs, and race days, offering a balance of responsiveness and smooth transitions.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

It utilizes PWRRUN PB foam, a highly responsive and lightweight cushioning material that provides excellent energy return.

Does the nylon plate offer stability?

The winged nylon plate provides torsional rigidity for stability while allowing flexibility in the forefoot, contributing to a propulsive feel without being overly stiff.

Can I use these shoes for daily training runs?

Yes, the comfort and smooth ride make them suitable for moderate training sessions and longer runs, in addition to speed work.

What is the offset of the shoe?

The shoe has an offset of 8mm (36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot).

What is the weight of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The weight is approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's standard size.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole features an increased amount of rubber coverage on the heel and around the edges, designed to enhance durability for regular use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more personalized fit. Consider wearing them for shorter durations initially to allow them to break in.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feel

The PWRRUN PB foam may take a few runs to reach its optimal performance. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Over time, cushioning naturally decreases, but this typically occurs after significant mileage.

Upper mesh feels abrasive

This is uncommon, but check for any internal tags or debris causing irritation. Ensure socks provide adequate coverage. The mesh is designed to be lightweight and breathable, which can sometimes feel different from thicker materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 is ready to run straight out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks. No electronic components require pairing or specific software.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces or placing heavy objects on top, which can deform their shape.
