FAQs

What is the main difference between the Endorphin Speed 5 and other models?

The Endorphin Speed 5 features a newly designed nylon plate combined with PWRRUN PB cushioning and Speedroll technology, optimized for a fast, responsive, and propulsive ride suitable for tempo efforts and races.

Is the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5's combination of cushioning, responsiveness, and lightweight design makes it a capable option for marathon racing, particularly for those seeking a fast, efficient stride.

How does the nylon plate affect the ride?

The winged nylon plate provides torsional rigidity and flexibility in the forefoot, working with the Speedroll technology to create powerful transitions and a snappy, forward-propelling feel.

Can I use these shoes for everyday easy runs?

While capable, the shoe's design leans towards faster running. For very easy or recovery runs, some runners might prefer a shoe with more traditional cushioning or a less aggressive plate system. However, its comfort also makes it suitable for some moderate daily training.

What type of surface are these shoes best for?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is designed primarily for road running, especially on asphalt, due to its outsole and cushioning characteristics.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to Saucony's official sizing guide and measure your foot length. The UK 11.5 size is specified, but it's recommended to confirm with personal measurements for the best fit.

What is the weight of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 weighs approximately 237-238 grams, making it a lightweight option for performance running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing system to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are using the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

This is a sign of normal wear. The PWRRUN PB foam and nylon plate have a finite lifespan. Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Run with caution and ensure the outsole is clean.

Upper feels warm or less breathable

Ensure the engineered mesh is clean and free of debris. Excessive sweat or dirt can sometimes impede airflow. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and responsive for fast running.
  • Comfortable cushioning for longer efforts.
  • Propulsive feel due to Speedroll technology and nylon plate.
  • Durable outsole with good traction.
  • Breathable upper for foot comfort.

Cons

  • Neutral shoe type may not suit runners needing stability.
  • Nylon plate might feel too aggressive for some runners in slower paces.
  • Durability of engineered mesh can be a long-term concern for some users.
  • Specific fit may not accommodate very wide or narrow feet without adjustment.
  • Higher heel height might not be ideal for all running gaits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness using the traditional lacing system, which helps to lock down the midfoot. Ensure the FORMFIT construction comfortably surrounds your foot.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for neutral runners and are best suited for road running (asphalt) for speed training and competitions. They are not specifically designed for trail running or for runners requiring significant pronation support.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
  • Outsole Care: Periodically check the XT-900 outsole for any embedded debris, especially in the grooves, to maintain optimal traction.
