Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
When you first receive your Endorphin Pro 4, lace them up snugly to experience the integrated tongue and heel liner working together for a connected feel. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you feel any pressure points or wish for a more locked-down sensation. For optimal performance, allow for a brief break-in period, perhaps a few shorter runs, to let the shoe conform to your foot and for you to adapt to its highly responsive ride.
Compatibility
- Best Use: Race days, tempo runs, interval training, and speed work.
- Running Surface: Ideal for road running and track surfaces. Not recommended for technical trails due to its specialized road-racing design.
- Runner Type: Suited for runners looking for maximum speed and efficiency, particularly those with a neutral gait. The 8mm offset is versatile for various foot strikes.
Product Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your Endorphin Pro 4:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and debris after each run. For tougher grime, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Remove the insoles to allow for thorough drying, especially if they are wet.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Machine washing or using a dryer can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and bonding agents.
