Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for adult female runners seeking a fast and smooth experience, ideal for speed days and racing. Its key benefit is the combination of a responsive nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for snappy transitions and effortless momentum. A potential caveat for some users might be the 8mm drop, which is optimized for speed but may require adjustment for those accustomed to zero-drop shoes. This trainer features SPEEDROLL technology for forward propulsion, a durable outsole, and a breathable mesh upper, making it versatile for training sessions and personal best attempts.

Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort on first few runs

This is common with performance shoes. Ensure the fit is correct and allow for a short break-in period of 5-10 miles.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Extreme conditions or excessive moisture can impact cushioning performance. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes.

Grip feels less secure on wet surfaces

While designed for asphalt, wet conditions can reduce traction. Run with caution on wet pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 is ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: This is a neutral road running shoe designed for asphalt surfaces. It is compatible with most running insoles if you require custom orthotics.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
