FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is primarily designed for fast-paced running, including speed workouts, track nights, and race days, offering a blend of responsiveness and smooth transitions.

How does the nylon plate contribute to performance?

The winged nylon plate provides torsional rigidity for stability while maintaining flexibility in the forefoot, working with the foam to create snappy transitions and a propulsive feel.

Is this shoe suitable for everyday training runs?

Yes, the shoe's SPEEDROLL technology and comfortable PWRRUN PB cushioning make it versatile enough for moderate-paced daily training runs in addition to speed work.

What is the weight of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 weighs approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's size 9.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

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

How do I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 trainers?

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap with cool water. Avoid machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can I use these for long-distance running or marathons?

Absolutely. The combination of cushioning and propulsion makes them well-suited for marathon distances, especially for runners aiming for a fast time.

Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort on initial runs

The Endorphin Speed 5 may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter runs initially to allow the cushioning and plate to adapt to your foot mechanics.

Feeling unstable on uneven surfaces

While the nylon plate offers rigidity, the shoe is optimized for smoother surfaces. Be mindful and adjust your stride when running on very uneven or technical terrain.

Laces come undone during runs

Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. If the issue persists, consider replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip, or use lace locks.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that could impede the plate or cushioning. Check for any signs of significant wear and tear, which may indicate it's time for a replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a fast and smooth running experience.
  • Combines excellent cushioning with a propulsive feel.
  • Versatile for speed days, race days, and moderate training runs.
  • Durable construction with enhanced rubber coverage.
  • Lightweight and breathable upper for comfort.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The aggressive geometry might not suit all running styles.
  • Durability of the plate for extremely high mileage runners could be a consideration.
  • Specific fit designed for performance, potentially not ideal for wide feet without trying on.
  • The focus on speed might make them feel less plush for recovery runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up to your preferred tightness. Ensure the laces are secured to prevent any slippage during your run.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track use. They are compatible with most GPS running watches and other standard running apparel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in extreme temperatures or damp conditions.
