FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The main advantage is its ability to provide a fast, smooth, and propulsive ride thanks to the new nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning, making it ideal for speed work and racing.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 can be used for marathon running, especially by those who prefer a more responsive feel and are looking to maintain a fast pace. It offers a good balance of cushioning and propulsion for longer distances.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

Nylon plates are generally more flexible and less stiff than carbon plates. This typically results in a smoother, more natural transition and a more forgiving feel underfoot, making them suitable for a wider range of runners and paces.

How do I know if this shoe is the right fit for me?

The best way to determine fit is to try them on with your usual running socks. Pay attention to the length, width, and how the lacing system secures your foot without causing pressure points. The shoe should feel snug but not tight.

Can I use the Endorphin Speed 5 for everyday training?

While it's designed for speed, the Endorphin Speed 5 can be used for everyday training, especially for faster-paced workouts. For very long, slow runs, some runners might prefer a shoe with more plush cushioning.

What is the expected lifespan of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The lifespan typically ranges from 300-500 miles (480-800 km), depending on running surface, mileage, foot strike, and maintenance. Monitor the outsole wear and cushioning response to determine when replacement is needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or constrictive.

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and ensure you are wearing appropriate thickness socks. If the issue persists, the size may not be suitable.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time.

Ensure the shoes are clean and that no debris is trapped in the outsole. While the PWRRUN PB cushioning is durable, like all foams, it will eventually compress with extensive use.

Slipping during quick turns or on wet surfaces.

The outsole is designed for performance traction, but it's important to be mindful of surface conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris. For very wet conditions, proceed with caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 is ready to run straight out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably by wearing appropriate running socks. For optimal performance, verify that the lacing provides a secure yet not overly tight fit around your midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running, track workouts, and racing. They are compatible with most standard running surfaces. While they can be used for general fitness, their design is specialized for running.

Care: To maintain the shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: After cleaning or getting wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Rotation: For longevity, consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes if possible, allowing each pair to dry out completely between uses.
