Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 Trainers - Yellow / Black - Size UK 11.5

The Endorphin Pro 5 is designed for competitive runners looking for a shoe to maximize performance on race day, particularly those who favor a fast, propulsive ride.

While possible, these shoes are optimized for speed and may wear down faster with heavy daily training. They are best reserved for race days and key speed workouts.

SPEEDROLL is Saucony's proprietary geometry that creates a propulsive feel, encouraging a forward-rolling motion to help you run faster with less effort.

The carbon fiber plate is embedded in the midsole to provide stiffness and leverage, working with the foams and SPEEDROLL geometry to enhance energy return and propulsion.

PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, super-foam offering excellent energy return. PWRRUN HG (High-Grade) provides a firmer, more responsive layer that complements PWRRUN PB for an explosive feel.

The PWRTRAC rubber is designed for durability and grip on road surfaces, but like all high-performance racing shoe outsoles, its longevity depends on usage and terrain.

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit is crucial for racing performance. This specific model is UK size 11.5.

This is common with carbon-plated shoes. Try wearing thicker socks or using them for shorter, faster runs initially to allow your feet to adapt.

Ensure the shoes are not overly saturated with water and are dried properly. Extreme conditions can affect foam performance. Consider replacing after significant mileage.

Check for embedded debris in the tread. If the rubber is significantly worn down, traction will naturally decrease. These shoes are optimized for performance and may wear faster than training shoes.

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to avoid pressure points. If the discomfort persists, the shoe's shape might not be ideal for your foot.
