FAQs

What is the main benefit of the nylon plate?

The nylon plate provides a responsive and propulsive feel, helping to create a faster and more efficient stride without the stiffness often associated with carbon plates.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for marathon racing due to its balance of speed, cushioning, and light weight. However, personal preference for plated shoes varies.

How does the Kissaten edition differ from the standard version?

The Kissaten edition features unique color blocking and a custom floral teacup print inspired by Japanese coffee and teahouses, offering a distinct aesthetic while maintaining the same performance features as the standard Endorphin Speed 5.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While they are designed for running, their comfort and cushioning make them suitable for casual walking. However, the plate is optimized for running mechanics.

How do I know if I have the right size?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive heel slippage.

How durable is the PWRRUN PB cushioning?

PWRRUN PB is designed for high durability and excellent energy return, maintaining its performance characteristics over many miles. However, like all foams, it will eventually break down with prolonged use.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Allow a break-in period of a few short runs.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feel.

Ensure the shoe is clean, especially the outsole. Over time, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Check for any debris stuck in the outsole grooves.

Upper material feels stiff.

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring you have the correct fit.

Compatibility: The Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for road running and can be used on treadmills. It is compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or exposed to extreme temperatures.
  4. Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and construction of the shoe.
