Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for adult runners seeking speed and efficiency, perfect for track workouts or aiming for personal bests. Its key benefit is providing a fast, responsive ride powered by a new nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for snappy transitions and energy return. A potential caveat is its performance-oriented design, which may feel less cushioned for very long, slow runs compared to dedicated trainers.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The main benefit is its ability to provide a fast, responsive, and efficient ride thanks to the PWRRUN PB cushioning and nylon plate, helping runners achieve faster times.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for speed and endurance and can be used for marathon racing, especially by runners who appreciate a responsive feel and don't require maximum cushioning.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

Nylon plates generally offer a more flexible and less aggressive feel than carbon plates, providing good energy return and stability without the stiffness that some runners find uncomfortable for daily training.

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

It is best for runners looking for a versatile shoe for speed days, tempo runs, interval training, and racing. It's also suitable for moderate-paced long runs where a faster feel is desired.

How durable is the Endorphin Speed 5?

The shoe features increased rubber coverage on the heel for enhanced durability. With proper care, it should offer a good lifespan for its intended use.

Can I use this shoe for recovery runs?

While versatile, the focus is on speed. For very slow, easy, or recovery runs where maximum plushness is prioritized, other shoes might be more suitable. However, it can be used for moderate-paced runs.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm (36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot).

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's US size 9.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Try lacing the shoes differently to distribute pressure. If discomfort persists, consider the fit for your specific foot shape.

Reduced energy return or 'dead' feeling

Cushioning compounds can take a few runs to break in. If the issue persists, ensure no debris is lodged in the outsole grooves that might affect flexibility.

Upper material seems less breathable than expected

Ensure the mesh is clean and free from dirt or debris that might clog the pores. The mesh is designed for performance, and breathability can vary with conditions.

  • Versatile for speed days, race days, and moderate training runs

Cons

  • May feel less cushioned for runners preferring maximal softness on long, slow runs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup; it is ready to run out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running and track use. It is compatible with most running surfaces. It is suitable for adult runners of all genders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the outsole and upper. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Rotation: For extended shoe life, consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes.
