FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The main benefit is its ability to provide a fast, responsive, and smooth ride thanks to the combination of PWRRUN PB cushioning and the nylon plate, enhancing speed and efficiency.

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

It is best for neutral runners who engage in speed training, racing, or those who prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe for their daily runs.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

Nylon plates are generally more flexible and less rigid than carbon plates, offering a blend of stability and responsiveness that can feel more forgiving for daily use and less aggressive for some runners.

What is the purpose of the SPEEDROLL Technology?

SPEEDROLL Technology is designed to create an effortless forward-rolling sensation, helping you maintain momentum and run faster with less effort.

Can I use these shoes for long-distance running?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is versatile enough for long runs and even marathons, especially for runners who enjoy a responsive feel and want to pick up the pace.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole features enhanced rubber coverage on the heel for increased durability during heel strikes. While designed for performance, typical wear and tear will occur with extensive use.

What is the weight of the shoe?

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

Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort during initial runs

This is common with new performance shoes. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and plate geometry.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Significant wear on the outsole rubber may indicate it's time for a replacement pair for optimal performance.

Upper feels loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tight to restrict circulation. The lightweight mesh is designed for a snug fit.
