Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for runners seeking enhanced speed and a smooth, responsive ride, ideal for tempo runs, track nights, or chasing personal bests. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a new nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for snappy transitions. A potential caveat is that while versatile, its specialized design leans towards faster running, which might feel different for casual, slower paces.

FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is primarily designed for speed days, tempo runs, interval training, and race day. However, its comfort and cushioning also make it suitable for moderate daily training runs.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

The nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 provides a blend of stiffness and flexibility, offering a responsive and energetic feel without the extreme rigidity that can sometimes be found in carbon plates. It's designed for a snappy, smooth transition.

What is the drop of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The shoe has a drop of 8mm (36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot).

Is this shoe suitable for beginners?

Yes, while designed for speed, beginners who are looking to incorporate faster running or want a more responsive shoe can use it. However, it's important to ease into faster paces and consider a shoe with a lower drop for daily miles if preferred.

What is the weight of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The shoe weighs approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's size.

Are the materials eco-friendly?

Yes, this model is vegan and contains recycled materials.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug in the heel and midfoot but allow for toe splay.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure all eyelets are used and lace securely. For a looser fit, skip some eyelets or use a different lacing pattern. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after many miles

While designed for durability, cushioning materials do degrade over time. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss in performance or comfort.

Slight stiffness during initial runs

The PWRRUN PB cushioning and nylon plate may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter runs initially to allow them to adapt to your foot's shape and gait.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for tempo runs and speed work.
  • Responsive and energetic cushioning.
  • Smooth and efficient stride with SPEEDROLL technology.
  • Durable construction in key wear areas.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for faster efforts.

Cons

  • May feel overly firm for very slow or recovery runs.
  • Nylon plate may not offer the same aggressive propulsion as a carbon plate for some runners.
  • Best suited for runners who consistently incorporate speed work into their training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 is ready to run out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably by trying them on with your preferred running socks.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track use. They are suitable for adult runners of all levels who incorporate speed work into their training.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
