FAQs

Is the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 good for flat feet?

This shoe is a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support, you may want to consult a podiatrist or use a custom orthotic insert.

Does the shoe run true to size?

Most runners find the Endorphin Speed series fits true to size, providing a secure, performance-oriented fit.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

Yes, many runners use the Speed 5 as a reliable race-day option due to its lightweight and responsive characteristics.

What is the primary difference between a carbon plate and this nylon plate?

The nylon plate used in the Speed 5 offers a slightly more flexible and forgiving ride than rigid carbon plates, making it more comfortable for daily training.

How long should the midsole cushioning last?

Like most performance running shoes, you can expect optimal performance for roughly 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.

Troubleshooting

Feelings of instability in the heel

Ensure the laces are tied using the 'runner's loop' or heel lock method to secure the midfoot and prevent heel slippage.

Foam feeling firm after high mileage

Allow the shoe to rest for 24-48 hours between runs to let the PWRRUN PB foam fully rebound.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from PWRRUN PB foam
  • Balanced mix of stability and forefoot flexibility
  • Striking and unique 'Kissaten' aesthetic design
  • Versatile enough for both speed work and long-distance training
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue

Cons

  • Performance-focused geometry may feel less plush than dedicated recovery shoes
  • Limited to neutral pronation support
  • Floral pattern may not suit all personal style preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Endorphin Speed 5 trainers, consider the following:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short, easy runs initially to allow the foam and plate geometry to adapt to your foot strike.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the nylon upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can degrade the foam properties.
  4. Surface Compatibility: Best suited for road, track, and paved surfaces. Avoid rugged, technical trail terrain to prevent damage to the outsole and upper.
