Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for runners seeking to maximize speed and achieve a smooth, responsive ride. Ideal for speed days, race days, and even long, moderate training sessions, its key benefit lies in the combination of PWRRUN PB cushioning and a newly designed nylon plate for snappy transitions and energy return. A potential caveat is that its specialized design might be overkill for casual everyday running, prioritizing performance over plush comfort for some.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the nylon plate?
The nylon winged plate provides torsional stiffness for stability and flexibility in the forefoot, contributing to a more propulsive and snappy toe-off.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

How does the PWRRUN PB cushioning feel?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, high-rebound foam that provides a responsive and energetic feel with every step, helping to propel you forward.
Can I use this shoe for everyday training runs?
Yes, while optimized for speed, the shoe's cushioning and comfortable upper make it suitable for many types of training runs, including longer moderate efforts.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe has an 8mm offset, with a stack height of 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot.
Does this model contain recycled materials?

How durable is the outsole?
The outsole features increased rubber on the heel, extending higher up the shoe and over the edges for added durability and improved grip.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during stride
This can sometimes occur with new plated shoes. Break-in the shoes with a few shorter runs. If the noise persists and is concerning, check for any debris caught in the outsole grooves.
Discomfort in the arch or heel
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support. Allow a break-in period of 20-30 miles.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Cushioning and plate responsiveness can degrade with heavy use and mileage. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Clean the shoes to remove any dirt that might be impeding the foam or plate.
