FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for fast running, suitable for tempo runs, interval training, and even race day. It aims to help runners achieve new personal bests with its speed-enhancing technologies.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

The winged nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 offers a good balance of responsiveness and flexibility, providing propulsive transitions without being overly stiff. Carbon plates are generally stiffer and offer a more aggressive, firmer ride optimized for maximum propulsion.

Is this shoe suitable for daily training runs?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 can be used for daily training, especially if you prefer a more responsive feel. However, runners seeking maximum plush cushioning for very long, slow runs might prefer a dedicated daily trainer.

What is Speedroll Technology?

Speedroll Technology is Saucony's design that creates a forward-rolling sensation, working with the shoe's geometry to propel you forward effortlessly and encourage a faster, more efficient stride.

How do I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 trainers?

Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on this shoe?

The Endorphin Speed 5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm (36mm heel height, 28mm forefoot height).

What is the weight of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5?

The approximate weight of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is 237g.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly to allow for foot swelling during runs. Try different lacing techniques. Verify you have the correct size and width.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness

The PWRRUN PB foam may need a few runs to break in. If performance degrades significantly over time, it may be time to replace the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Run with caution in such conditions.

Upper material feels abrasive

This could be due to the FORMFIT technology initially creating a snug fit. Ensure socks are worn and the lacing is adjusted. The upper material is designed to conform to the foot over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and responsive cushioning for a fast feel.
  • Nylon plate enhances energy return and transitions.
  • Engineered mesh upper provides excellent breathability.
  • FORMFIT technology ensures a comfortable, personalized fit.
  • Speedroll technology aids in maintaining momentum and efficiency.

Cons

  • May feel firmer than highly cushioned daily trainers.
  • Nylon plate is less aggressive than carbon plates, which might not suit all runners.
  • Durability of the engineered mesh in high-wear areas could be a concern for some.
  • Outsole grip may be less effective on very wet or technical trails.
  • Designed for speed, might not offer maximum comfort for very long, slow runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup. Simply try them on, lace them up using the traditional lacing system to secure your midfoot, and they are ready for use.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks and can be used with GPS running watches or other fitness trackers.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and mud from the outsole and upper. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot car trunks.
  4. Rotation: For maximum longevity and to allow the cushioning to recover, consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes if you run frequently.
