Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for runners seeking a fast and smooth experience, whether for tempo runs, races, or everyday training. Its key benefit is the combination of a new nylon plate and responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning for snappy transitions and an energetic ride. A potential caveat is that while versatile, its primary design focus is speed, which may feel different for runners prioritizing maximum plushness over responsiveness.

FAQs
What is the main difference between the Endorphin Speed 5 and other Endorphin models?
The Endorphin Speed 5 features a nylon plate, offering a blend of responsiveness and flexibility suitable for a wider range of training. Other models might feature carbon plates for maximum stiffness and race-specific performance, or less responsive foams for pure comfort.
How do I clean my Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 shoes?
Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove insoles and laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is a versatile shoe that can perform well on marathon race day due to its energetic cushioning and propulsive design, especially for runners who prefer a more flexible, responsive feel.
What is the purpose of the nylon plate?
The nylon plate provides torsional stiffness for stability and works with the PWRRUN PB foam to create a snappy, responsive feel and quick transitions, enhancing running efficiency.
Does this shoe contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is vegan and contains recycled materials, aligning with sustainability efforts.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe has an 8mm offset, with 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole features increased rubber coverage on the heel, extending higher and over the edges, which significantly improves durability in high-wear areas.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. The nylon plate and SPEEDROLL technology are designed to feel responsive; try a few runs to break them in and allow your stride to adapt.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The PWRRUN PB foam is highly durable, but extreme conditions can affect performance. Ensure shoes are clean and dry. If the issue persists after significant mileage, consider if the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan for optimal performance.
Slipping heel
Adjust lacing to ensure a secure heel lock. Try using the extra eyelet to create a runner's loop. Ensure socks provide adequate grip.

- Responsive and energetic ride due to PWRRUN PB and nylon plate.
- Effortless forward propulsion with SPEEDROLL technology.
- Lightweight and breathable for comfort during fast efforts.
- Improved durability in key heel areas.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 is ready to run right out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure they are properly laced to your comfort and fit preference before your first run.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running. It is compatible with most GPS running watches and fitness trackers for performance monitoring.
Care:
- Cleaning: For best results, clean the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
