Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is a versatile, high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who demand speed and responsiveness during daily training, tempo workouts, or race day. Featuring a redesigned nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning, it offers an exceptionally smooth transition, though users should be prepared for its highly propulsive ride which may require an adjustment period for those used to traditional daily trainers.

FAQs

Is the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for marathon distances?

Yes, many runners find the combination of cushioning and energy return ideal for marathon racing and training.

How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon fiber plate?

The nylon plate provides a slightly more flexible and forgiving ride compared to the stiffer, more aggressive feel of carbon fiber plates.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Endorphin Speed 5 generally fits true to size for most runners, though it is recommended to ensure a thumb-width of space in the toe box.

Can I use these for track workouts?

Absolutely, the responsive nature of the PWRRUN PB foam and the nylon plate makes them very effective for track interval training.

What is the primary difference between the Speed 5 and previous versions?

The Speed 5 features a redesigned nylon plate and updated geometry to further refine the smooth transition and energy return.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch during initial runs

This is common with high-rebound plates; ensure your lacing is not too tight and allow your feet a few runs to adapt to the arch support geometry.

Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces

While the XT-900 outsole is durable, ensure the tread is free of debris and mud, which can accumulate in the grooves and reduce contact with the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile for both easy runs and tempo sessions
  • Lightweight build reduces fatigue over longer distances
  • Unique and stylish Kissaten-inspired floral aesthetics
  • Smooth ride transition thanks to SPEEDROLL technology

Cons

  • The propulsive nylon plate may feel aggressive for recovery runs
  • The unique floral pattern may not suit all personal style preferences
  • Requires an adaptation phase for runners transitioning from non-plated shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Endorphin Speed 5 trainers, proper care is essential.

  1. Break-in Period: If you are new to plated shoes, incorporate them into your rotation gradually by alternating them with your standard trainers for the first few weeks.
  2. Cleaning: After running in muddy or wet conditions, remove dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not submerge the shoes completely.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the foam and adhesive components.
  4. Surface Compatibility: These are optimized for paved roads and light gravel paths; avoid using them on technical trails or rugged terrain to preserve the integrity of the outsole.
