FAQs

What kind of running is the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 best suited for?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is ideal for a wide range of runs, including speed work, tempo runs, race days, and even long, moderate training sessions. Its versatile design makes it a go-to option for varied workouts.

What is PWRRUN PB foam?

PWRRUN PB is Saucony's energy-efficient cushioning foam. It's known for its high energy return and lively, bouncy feel, providing a responsive ride that makes each step feel more effortless and propulsive.

How does SPEEDROLL technology benefit my run?

SPEEDROLL technology promotes an effortless forward-moving momentum. It's designed to create a feeling of continuous propulsion, making your stride feel smoother and more efficient, allowing for faster turnover with less perceived effort.

Is the Endorphin Speed 5 durable?

Yes, it features increased rubber coverage on the outsole, particularly on the heel and edges, which significantly enhances its durability and longevity for consistent training and racing.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While comfortable, the Endorphin Speed 5 is specifically engineered for running, with features like the winged nylon plate and SPEEDROLL technology optimized for running dynamics. For prolonged casual walking, a shoe designed specifically for that purpose might offer a different, more relaxed feel.

How should I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 shoes?

Clean them by gently brushing off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Always air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat.

What is the drop/offset of this shoe?

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 has an 8mm offset (36mm heel / 28mm forefoot), which is a common drop suitable for many runners and promotes a natural stride.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

The engineered mesh is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking materials. Also, check that your shoes aren't laced too tightly, which can restrict air circulation.

The shoe feels a bit different or 'unstable' initially.

The winged nylon plate and SPEEDROLL technology provide a distinct, propulsive feel. Give your feet a few runs to adapt to this dynamic. Ensure your lacing provides a secure, locked-down fit. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate your running form or consult a specialist.

The outsole rubber seems to be wearing down quickly.

While the Endorphin Speed 5 has increased rubber coverage for durability, outsole wear is normal with mileage. Excessive or uneven wear might indicate aspects of your running form that could be addressed. Ensure you are primarily using them on intended surfaces (roads) rather than very abrasive terrains.

I'm experiencing discomfort in my arches or forefoot.

The PWRRUN PB foam is responsive, but individual foot shapes and running mechanics vary. Check your sock choice for cushioning or support. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a running specialist to assess if the shoe's arch support and flexibility align with your specific needs, or if a different lacing technique could help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energy-efficient PWRRUN PB foam provides a lively, bouncy ride.
  • SPEEDROLL technology ensures smooth, effortless forward momentum.
  • Winged nylon plate offers stable yet flexible support.
  • Increased rubber coverage enhances durability for longer use.
  • Lightweight, engineered mesh upper provides breathable comfort.
  • Versatile for both speed training and moderate long runs.

Cons

  • Specialized design might offer a distinct feel for those accustomed to traditional trainers.
  • Performance-focused characteristics may be less ideal for extensive casual walking.
  • The vibrant colour (Citron/Lapis) might not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight. Use all eyelets for a secure fit, especially during faster runs. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points or heel slippage.
  2. First Run: As with any new running shoe, it's advisable to take them for a short, easy run first to allow your feet to adjust to the shoe's feel and dynamics, particularly the SPEEDROLL technology and winged nylon plate.

Compatibility

The Endorphin Speed 5 is highly versatile:

  • Best Use: Ideal for 'speed days' including tempo runs, intervals, and track workouts. Also perfectly suited for race day.
  • Beyond Speed: Don't limit it to just fast efforts; its cushioning and smooth ride make it an excellent choice for everyday training and longer, moderate-paced runs.
  • Surface: Designed primarily for road running, but the durable rubber outsole can handle light off-road paths.

Care

Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:

  • Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can deform materials.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Rotation: If you run frequently, rotating your Endorphin Speed 5 with another pair of running shoes can allow the foam to decompress and recover, potentially extending the lifespan of both pairs.
