FAQs

What is the main difference between the Endorphin Speed 5 and other Saucony trainers?

The Endorphin Speed 5 features a nylon plate and SPEEDROLL technology, which are specifically engineered to provide a propulsive, fast, and smooth ride, making it ideal for speed work and racing. Other trainers might focus more on everyday cushioning or stability.

Can I use the Endorphin Speed 5 for marathon running?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is capable of handling marathon distances. Its balance of responsive cushioning and propulsive technology makes it suitable for runners aiming for a fast marathon, though some may prefer a shoe with more dedicated marathon-racing features.

How do I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 trainers?

Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Remove insoles and laces first. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm (36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot).

Is the nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 rigid?

The winged nylon plate provides torsional rigidity while maintaining flexibility in the forefoot, contributing to a stable yet responsive and snappy ride without being overly stiff.

How durable is the XT-900 rubber outsole?

The XT-900 rubber outsole is designed for exceptional durability and traction. Saucony has also increased rubber coverage in the heel area for added longevity and a stronger ground connection.

What kind of foot strike is this shoe best suited for?

The SPEEDROLL technology and the plate's geometry encourage a forward-moving momentum, making it well-suited for midfoot and forefoot strikers. However, runners with a heel strike can also benefit from the cushioning and propulsion.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure the FORMFIT system is working with your foot shape. If the issue persists, consider if this model is the best fit for your foot shape. Check sibling products for alternative fits.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after many miles

The PWRRUN PB foam and nylon plate are designed for durability, but like all shoe components, they will eventually degrade. This is normal wear and tear. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of use, depending on running surface and individual weight.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip for any shoe. Ensure you are running with controlled strides and be aware of slick patches. The increased rubber coverage on the heel aims to improve grip.

Upper material feels stiff

The engineered mesh is designed for breathability and support, which can initially feel a bit structured. Break in the shoes with shorter runs to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for speed, racing, and daily training.
  • Lightweight and breathable upper enhances comfort.
  • Responsive cushioning provides an energetic ride.
  • Propulsive technology aids in faster running.
  • Durable outsole offers reliable traction.

Cons

  • May feel too firm for runners preferring maximum plush cushioning.
  • The fit might require adjustment for wider feet.
  • Nylon plate performance might differ across running gaits.
  • Durability of the lightweight mesh in aggressive conditions could be a concern for some.
  • Designed for performance, so the primary focus isn't on maximum stability for overpronation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready to run straight out of the box. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted to provide a secure but comfortable midfoot lockdown. The FORMFIT technology will adapt to your foot shape over the first few runs.

Compatibility:

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for road running. The XT-900 outsole provides good traction on dry and wet paved surfaces. It is not intended for trail running or highly technical terrain.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or dry. Remove insoles and laces before cleaning. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for excessive wear and inspect the upper for any damage. Clean after particularly muddy runs to maintain material integrity.
