Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a fast and smooth experience, whether for speed workouts or long-distance racing. Its key benefit is the combination of a new nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for responsive transitions. A potential caveat for some runners might be the aggressive geometry for very casual, slow-paced runs. This shoe offers a versatile blend of speed and comfort, suitable for everything from track nights to personal best attempts.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is primarily designed for speed workouts, tempo runs, and racing, but it's also versatile enough for daily training.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

Nylon plates are generally more flexible and durable than carbon plates, offering a softer and more forgiving ride while still providing good propulsion and stability.

What is SPEEDROLL Technology?

SPEEDROLL is Saucony's technology that creates a propulsive feel by guiding your foot forward, making transitions feel smoother and faster.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While they are comfortable, the aggressive geometry and propulsion features are optimized for running. They can be used for walking, but you might find less benefit compared to a dedicated walking shoe.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm (36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot).

How much do the shoes weigh?

The shoes weigh approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's size 9.

Are these shoes suitable for beginners?

Yes, the versatility and cushioning make them suitable for beginners looking to incorporate speed work into their training, provided they find the fit comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow your feet to adapt.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

The PWRRUN PB foam is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may decrease with very high mileage. Consider cleaning the shoes as per care instructions, which can sometimes help restore some feel. If significantly degraded, it may be time for a replacement.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the outsole offers good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution and be mindful of your footing in such conditions.

  • Comfortable and breathable upper for long-distance wear.
  • Durable construction with enhanced outsole rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

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

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
