Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for runners seeking a fast and smooth experience, ideal for speed work, races, and even moderate training runs. Its key benefit is the combination of a responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning with a new nylon plate for snappy transitions and efficient momentum. A potential caveat is that while versatile, its primary design leans towards faster paces, which might feel different for runners accustomed to softer, more traditional trainers.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is primarily designed for fast running, including speed days, track workouts, and races. However, its versatile cushioning and technology also make it suitable for moderate training runs.

How does the nylon plate affect the ride?

The winged nylon plate provides torsional rigidity for stability and a propulsive feel without sacrificing forefoot flexibility. It works with the cushioning to create snappy transitions and an energetic ride.

What is SPEEDROLL Technology?

SPEEDROLL Technology is Saucony's design that creates a feeling of effortless forward momentum, helping you roll through your stride and maintain pace with less perceived effort.

How much cushioning does the shoe have?

The shoe features PWRRUN PB cushioning, known for its responsiveness and energy return. The stack height is 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot, with an 8mm offset.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?

Yes, while optimized for speed, many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5's cushioning and energy return suitable for marathon distances, especially if they are looking for a faster, more responsive feel.

How does the mesh upper contribute to performance?

The newly designed mesh is lightweight and breathable, offering comfort and support during fast-paced efforts. It helps keep your feet cool and secure.

What is the weight of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5?

The men's size 9.5 (as specified in the product info) weighs approximately 8.4oz (238g).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. Consider using a runner's knot for a more secure midfoot fit or skipping eyelets if there's pressure on the top of the foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

While the PWRRUN PB foam is durable, its responsiveness may gradually decrease with very high mileage. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (running) and not for casual wear to prolong their performance life.

Squeaking noise during runs

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped in the shoe or friction between components. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists and is bothersome, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.

Discomfort in the arch or forefoot

The winged nylon plate and SPEEDROLL technology provide a specific feel. If discomfort persists after several runs (a typical break-in period), consider if the shoe's geometry is compatible with your foot strike and biomechanics. Consult with a running specialist if issues continue.

  • Lightweight and breathable for comfort during fast efforts
  • Improved durability in key outsole areas

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no special setup; simply lace them up and go. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room in the toe box for natural foot expansion during runs.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track use. They are compatible with most standard running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole and upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks for extended periods.
