Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is a high-performance trainer designed for runners who want to combine speed with a smooth ride, specifically utilizing a redesigned nylon plate and responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning. While this Kissaten edition offers a unique aesthetic inspired by traditional Japanese teahouses, it remains a dedicated tool for those who prioritize efficiency and responsiveness in their training gear. It is ideal for daily speed work or tempo runs, though it may feel firmer than traditional max-cushion recovery shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday training?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is built to be a durable trainer that can handle daily miles while being efficient enough for faster workouts.

What is the primary difference between this and a carbon-plated shoe?

The nylon plate in the Speed 5 is designed to be more forgiving and flexible than carbon fiber, making it more comfortable for daily use while still offering high energy return.

How should I clean the Kissaten edition print?

Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges that could damage the intricate floral print.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

Many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5 to be a highly capable marathon shoe due to its balance of cushion and responsiveness.

Is the sizing true to standard?

The Endorphin series generally fits true to size, though it is always recommended to check your specific UK size measurement before purchasing.

What kind of material is the upper?

The shoe uses a high-performance, lightweight nylon material designed for both durability and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of stiffness in the midsole

The shoe is designed with a nylon plate, which is stiffer than standard trainers. Allow for a break-in period of 20-30 miles to let the foam and plate adapt to your foot strike.

Accumulation of dirt on the textured upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the floral pattern fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the color from the detailed print.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of energy return and comfort
  • Versatile enough for both daily training and speed sessions
  • Unique, detailed design inspired by traditional Japanese coffee houses
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue over longer distances

Cons

  • The nylon plate provides a stiffer feel than non-plated trainers
  • Intricate floral pattern may show dirt more easily than solid colors
  • Not intended for heavy-duty trail use or uneven terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. After running, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the nylon plate or damage the foam. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity of the upper. Ensure you are using the correct size for your gait; if you alternate between road surfaces, ensure the outsole is clear of debris to maintain optimal grip.
