Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking speed and a smooth experience for track nights or personal record attempts. The key benefit is the combination of a newly designed nylon plate and responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning for snappy transitions and a fast, reliable ride. A potential caveat is their specialized design, which may be less ideal for everyday casual wear compared to more cushioned trainers. Key features include SPEEDROLL technology for effortless forward motion, durable rubber on high-wear areas, and a lightweight, comfortable mesh upper.

FAQs

Are the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is suitable for marathon running, especially for runners seeking a lighter, faster shoe with responsive cushioning and a neutral ride. They are excellent for tempo runs and race day.

What is the main difference between the Endorphin Speed 5 and other trainers?

The Endorphin Speed 5 features a newly designed nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning combined with SPEEDROLL technology to deliver a particularly fast and smooth ride, optimized for performance.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or consult the Saucony sizing guide. Ensure your foot length measurement corresponds accurately to the UK size.

Are these shoes vegan?

Yes, this model is vegan and also contains recycled material.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday walking?

While comfortable due to their lightweight mesh, the design is optimized for running speed. For extended walking, more traditionally cushioned or supportive shoes might be preferred.

How does the nylon plate affect the ride?

The nylon plate provides a snappy feel and torsional stiffness while maintaining forefoot flexibility, contributing to efficient transitions and a responsive, fast ride without being overly rigid.

What is the heel-to-toe drop and weight?

The Endorphin Speed 5 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop (36mm in the heel, 28mm in the forefoot) and weighs approximately 238g (8.4oz) for a men's size 9, with women's sizes being slightly lighter.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. If the issue persists, consider a different size or model.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The PWRRUN PB cushioning is designed for responsiveness. If the feel diminishes significantly, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes after extensive mileage.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole offers good grip, but like all running shoes, performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution.

Upper material feels abrasive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. The mesh is designed for breathability and lightness; socks provide the necessary barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a fast and smooth running experience.
  • Responsive cushioning enhances energy return.
  • SPEEDROLL technology aids in effortless forward momentum.
  • Durable construction for increased longevity.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for various running efforts.

Cons

  • May not be the most comfortable for very long, slow runs.
  • Nylon plate is designed for speed, potentially less forgiving for beginners.
  • Neutral design means it's not suitable for severe overpronators.
  • Specific focus on speed might make it feel less versatile for casual walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first run. Adjusting the laces can help achieve a personalized fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most running socks and apparel. While they are neutral shoes, they are suitable for runners with a neutral gait or mild supination. They are not designed for significant overpronation.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  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.
  4. Usage: While durable, these shoes are optimized for running. Prolonged use for activities other than running may accelerate wear.
