Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking speed and smooth transitions for both training and racing. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a responsive nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for a fast, energetic ride.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for speed, suitable for speed day workouts, race day, and fast training runs. It aims to provide a responsive and energetic ride.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?

The nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 provides a balance of stiffness and flexibility, offering a propulsive feel that is often more forgiving and versatile than a stiffer carbon plate, making it suitable for daily speed training.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is capable of handling marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a more responsive and lighter shoe for racing or for specific tempo efforts during marathon training.

How much cushioning does the shoe offer?

It features PWRRUN PB cushioning, which is known for being lightweight and highly responsive, providing a bouncy feel without excessive bulk. The stack height is 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot, with an 8mm drop.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 weighs approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's size, with women's weights typically being slightly lower.

Are these shoes vegan and eco-friendly?

Yes, this model is vegan and contains recycled materials, reflecting Saucony's commitment to sustainability.

How should I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 trainers?

Clean using a soft brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Avoid machine washing and air dry them away from direct heat.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Try different lacing techniques to alleviate pressure points. If the issue persists, consider if this size is the best fit for your foot shape, as individual fit can vary.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after several uses.

The PWRRUN PB foam may feel firmer initially; it often softens slightly with use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively dirty, as debris can affect performance. Check for significant wear on the outsole or midsole, which may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its optimal lifespan.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

The rubber outsole provides grip, but like all running shoes, performance on very wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the textured grip tread is clean. For extremely wet conditions, consider shoes with more aggressive traction patterns.

Upper mesh feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the mesh is clean and free from dirt or debris that could block airflow. The breathability is designed for performance; in very hot conditions, slight warmth might be noticeable compared to shoes with maximum ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a fast and responsive ride suitable for various running paces.
  • Combines cushioning with a propulsive plate for efficient transitions.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for both speed work and daily training.
  • Enhanced durability features for extended shoe life.
  • Vegan and contains recycled materials, appealing to eco-conscious runners.

Cons

  • The 'fast' feel might be too aggressive for runners preferring a softer, more traditional shoe.
  • Nylon plate may not offer the same level of stiffness or propulsion as a carbon plate for elite racers.
  • Fit may vary, and specific foot types might find the SPEEDROLL technology less comfortable.
  • Durability of the mesh upper in high-wear areas could be a long-term concern for some.
  • Primarily designed for speed, may not be the most comfortable option for very slow, recovery runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The traditional lace-up fastening allows for adjustable lockdown.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks. For use with GPS watches or running apps, they function like any other shoe; their performance is inherent to their design and not dependent on external technology.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources (like radiators or intense sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in extreme temperatures, such as a hot car.
  4. Rotation: For optimal longevity and performance, consider rotating these shoes with another pair, allowing them to fully dry and recover between runs.
