FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Endorphin Pro 5?
The main benefit is its ability to provide maximum speed and propulsion for racing, thanks to its carbon fiber plate and advanced foam technology.
Who is this shoe designed for?
It is designed for competitive female runners who want a shoe optimized for speed and efficiency on race day, particularly for road races.
What is the difference between PWRRUN HG and PWRRUN PB cushioning?
PWRRUN HG (High Grade) is designed for a more responsive and resilient feel, while PWRRUN PB (PeBa) is exceptionally lightweight and soft, providing plush cushioning.
Is the Endorphin Pro 5 suitable for daily training?
While you can use it for some faster training runs, it's primarily built for racing. Daily mileage might be better served by a more durable and supportive trainer to extend the life of the Pro 5's performance features.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm (39.5 mm in the heel and 31.5 mm in the forefoot).
How heavy is the women's version?
The women's version weighs approximately 178 grams.
Does the carbon plate affect comfort?
The carbon plate, combined with the SpeedRoll technology and generous cushioning, is designed to enhance performance and create a propulsive feel rather than compromising comfort during high-speed efforts. However, some runners may need a brief adjustment period.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
This is common with carbon-plated shoes. Wear them for shorter runs or 'break them in' on a treadmill before a long race to allow the midsole and plate to adapt to your stride.
Slight discomfort on the arches
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. If the discomfort persists, consider if a neutral shoe is appropriate for your foot mechanics or if a different lacing technique might help.
Reduced responsiveness after many miles
The advanced cushioning foams and plate are designed for peak performance over a specific lifespan. For optimal results, consider replacing them after a dedicated race season or when you notice a significant decrease in energy return.
