FAQs

What type of runner is the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 for?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is ideal for neutral runners who want a versatile shoe for speed training, tempo runs, interval sessions, and even race day. It's also suitable for daily miles if you prefer a responsive and lively feel.

What is the main difference in the Speed 5 compared to previous versions?

The 5th version features an updated upper for improved comfort and breathability, along with an optimized outsole design for enhanced durability and a smoother ride.

Is the nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 stiff?

The plate is semi-rigid and winged, designed to provide a snappy feel and torsional stiffness while still allowing flexibility in the forefoot for a natural stride and smooth transitions.

How much cushioning does the Endorphin Speed 5 have?

It features a stack height of 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot, providing a substantial amount of PWRRUN PB cushioning for comfort during faster efforts.

Can I use these shoes for marathon racing?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is a popular choice for marathon racing due to its blend of speed, cushioning, and comfort, offering a good balance between performance and protection for longer distances.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel offset is 8mm, which is a moderate drop that suits a wide range of runners.

How do I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 trainers?

Gently brush off dirt and use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Wear with appropriate running socks.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feel

The PWRRUN PB foam and nylon plate are designed for performance. The sensation may feel different over time as the shoe breaks in. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time for a replacement.

Premature outsole wear

Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (asphalt, track). Avoid excessive wear on hard, abrasive surfaces like concrete or gravel. Proper gait and avoiding scuffing can help.

Upper material shows signs of wear

Avoid snagging the mesh on rough surfaces. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions to prevent material breakdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup. Simply remove them from the box, and they are ready for use. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (this guide focuses on UK 9.5) for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed as a neutral shoe, compatible with most running gaits. They perform best on paved surfaces like asphalt and are suitable for road running, track workouts, and treadmill use.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Endorphin Speed 5:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or confined spaces like car trunks for extended periods.
  4. Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend the life of the shoe, consider rotating them with another pair of running shoes.
