FAQs
What kind of running is the Endorphin Speed 5 best for?
The Endorphin Speed 5 is best for speed days, race days, tempo runs, and even long-distance training runs. Its design balances speed and comfort for versatile performance.
Is this shoe suitable for daily training?
Yes, while designed for speed, many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5 comfortable and durable enough for daily training, especially for moderate to faster-paced efforts. It's a highly versatile option.
What is PWRRUN PB cushioning?
PWRRUN PB is Saucony's advanced, energy-efficient cushioning foam. It provides a lightweight, responsive, and highly cushioned feel, offering excellent energy return with each stride.
Does the shoe have a carbon plate?
No, the Endorphin Speed 5 features a semi-rigid nylon plate, not a carbon plate. The nylon plate provides a propulsive feel and torsional rigidity while maintaining greater flexibility than a full carbon plate.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Endorphin Speed 5?
The Endorphin Speed 5 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, with a stack height of 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot.
How should I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap with cool water and a soft cloth or brush. Air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Is this shoe good for beginners?
While packed with advanced technology, experienced beginners who are starting to focus on speed and efficiency can benefit from this shoe. However, some beginners might prefer a shoe with a more traditional, softer feel for their initial runs.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
The Endorphin Speed 5 features a new mesh upper designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a different sock material or thickness.
The shoes feel stiff at first, or the plate feels too noticeable.
The semi-rigid nylon plate provides propulsion and stability and may feel distinct initially. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. The plate is designed to maintain flexibility in the forefoot; ensure your lacing isn't too tight, which can restrict natural foot movement.
I'm experiencing discomfort after long runs, even with the cushioning.
While highly cushioned, the Endorphin Speed 5 is a performance-oriented shoe. Ensure it's the right shoe for your specific long-run needs. Check your lacing for pressure points, and consider if your running form might need adjustment. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist or consider if a shoe with different cushioning properties might be better suited for your recovery or very long endurance runs.

- Delivers exceptional speed and responsiveness for fast efforts.
- Versatile enough for various training runs, not just race day.
- Excellent energy return from PWRRUN PB cushioning.
- Provides a stable and smooth ride with the nylon plate.
- Durable outsole design for extended shoe life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Endorphin Speed 5 running shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for natural foot expansion during your run. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit for your foot shape.
- Sock Choice: Wear appropriate running socks to prevent blisters and optimize comfort and moisture-wicking.
Compatibility
- Surface: These shoes are primarily designed for asphalt surfaces. While they can handle light gravel or well-maintained tracks, their outsole pattern and cushioning are optimized for road running.
- Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners. If you have significant overpronation or supination, you may require additional support from insoles or a stability shoe.
- Use: Best suited for speed training, competition, long runs, and moderate training sessions. Less ideal for extreme trail running or purely casual walking due to their performance-oriented design.
Care
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Endorphin Speed 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or dirty conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as this can warp materials and compromise shoe structure. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Endorphin Speed 5 with other running shoes. This allows the cushioning to decompress and can extend the life of each pair.
