FAQs
What type of runner is the Endorphin Speed 4 best for?
The Endorphin Speed 4 is ideal for adult male runners looking for a versatile shoe that can handle both daily training and faster-paced runs or races. It suits those who appreciate a balance of cushioning, responsiveness, and a propulsive feel.
How does the SPEEDROLL technology work?
SPEEDROLL technology is a geometry designed to create a unique rolling sensation, propelling you forward with less effort. It aims to make your stride feel more efficient and natural.
Is the nylon plate flexible or stiff?
The winged nylon plate is designed to offer a responsive and propulsive feel without being overly stiff. It provides a good balance of energy return and comfort for various running paces.
Can I use these shoes for recovery runs?
While the PWRRUN PB foam provides cushioning, the shoe's design leans towards performance. For very easy or recovery runs, you might prefer a shoe with a softer, more maximalist feel, but the Speed 4 can still be used if preferred.
What is the primary difference between the Endorphin Speed 4 and other shoes in the Endorphin line?
The Endorphin Speed series typically features a nylon plate, offering a more versatile and forgiving ride compared to the Pro series, which often uses a carbon fiber plate for maximum stiffness and speed.
How should I care for my Endorphin Speed 4 shoes?
Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap, air dry them away from heat, and store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid machine washing.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Endorphin Speed 4 is designed for road running and similar hard surfaces. They are not suitable for technical trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are using the correct UK size.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from excessive dirt or mud, which can affect performance. Check for signs of significant wear and tear on the outsole and midsole.
Discomfort during initial runs
Allow for a break-in period of 5-10 miles. Gradually increase the distance of your runs to let your feet adapt to the shoe's geometry and cushioning.

Care:
