Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 Trainers - White - Size UK 11.5

The Endorphin Pro 5 is best suited for competitive male runners looking to achieve personal bests in races from 5k to marathons. It is also suitable for advanced runners incorporating speed work into their training.

SpeedRoll technology, combined with the carbon plate, creates a forward-rolling sensation that promotes a more efficient gait, reduces braking forces, and helps maintain momentum, making your stride feel faster and smoother.

While possible, the Endorphin Pro 5 is highly specialized for speed. For optimal longevity and to preserve its race-day performance, it's generally recommended to use it for speed workouts and races, and a more durable, everyday trainer for daily mileage.

PWRRUN PB provides a lightweight, bouncy base, while the Super Critical PWRRUN HG layer offers enhanced responsiveness and cushioning closer to the foot, working together to deliver explosive energy return and a premium feel.

The PWRTRAC outsole is designed to offer durable traction on road surfaces, providing reliable grip during fast-paced running in various weather conditions, though caution is advised on extremely slick surfaces.

The carbon plate is designed to enhance propulsion and efficiency. Runners who are accustomed to plated shoes and have a good running form will benefit most. It can feel very stiff for runners new to this type of shoe.

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap after runs. Avoid machine washing. Ensure they air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

The carbon plate and responsive foam require a break-in period. Start with shorter runs and gradually increase mileage to allow the shoe to adapt to your foot and gait.

Ensure you are using a secure knot. Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with specialized locking laces designed for running shoes.

The midsole foams and carbon plate are optimized for performance. Responsiveness may naturally decrease with extensive mileage, particularly if used for daily training. Consider reserving the shoes for speed work and races.

While the PWRTRAC outsole offers good grip, extremely wet or slick conditions can challenge any outsole. Exercise caution and reduce speed if encountering severely slippery surfaces.
