FAQs

What is the main benefit of the nylon plate?

The nylon plate provides a balance of torsional stiffness and forefoot flexibility, contributing to a snappier and more agile feel during fast running, without the extreme stiffness of some carbon plates.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for speed and can be used for marathon racing, especially by runners who appreciate a responsive, plated feel. However, its primary focus is on speed sessions and shorter races for many.

How does the PWRRUN PB cushioning feel?

PWRRUN PB is a high-performance foam that offers significant energy return, providing a bouncy and responsive sensation that helps propel you forward.

What does SPEEDROLL Technology do?

SPEEDROLL is an advanced geometry that creates a propulsive feel, rolling you forward smoothly from landing to toe-off, making it feel easier to maintain a faster pace.

Are these shoes good for everyday training?

They can be used for everyday training, especially if you incorporate speed work. However, for very slow or recovery runs, some runners might prefer a softer, less responsive shoe.

What is the drop of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The shoe has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

Does this shoe contain recycled materials?

Yes, this model is vegan and contains recycled materials.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Cushioning and plate effectiveness can decrease with significant mileage. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended lifespan for running shoes (typically 300-500 miles).

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the increased rubber offers durability, specialized wet-weather grip is not the primary focus. Exercise caution on very wet or slick surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run.

Compatibility: Designed for road running and track workouts. Suitable for runners of all levels looking for a speed-oriented shoe.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and cool water with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in extreme temperatures, such as a car trunk in hot weather.
