Saucony - Endorphin Azura Trainers - White - Size UK 7

Yes, the Endorphin Azura can be used for marathon training and racing, especially if you prefer a balanced shoe that offers both cushioning and responsiveness without a plate. However, for ultra-long distances or if you need maximum protection, some runners might prefer a shoe with more plush cushioning.

PWRRUN PB is Saucony's superfoam, designed to be very lightweight, soft, and bouncy, offering high energy return. It's generally softer and more responsive than standard EVA foams found in traditional trainers.

The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle freely. There should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.

While they offer good cushioning, the Endorphin Azura is optimized for running. For gym activities that involve lateral movements or heavy lifting, a dedicated training shoe might provide better stability and support.

XT-900 is a high-abrasion rubber designed for durability and traction. It should provide good wear resistance for its intended use as a road running shoe.

Yes, the Endorphin Azura is designed as a neutral shoe, suitable for runners who do not require significant pronation control.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust the pressure points. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.

The midsole foam may naturally compress with significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on usage and wear patterns.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists on wet surfaces, exercise caution or consider conditions where the shoe's traction may be less effective.
