How should I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 shoes?
We recommend hand washing your shoes with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning. Always air dry them away from direct heat sources, and remove the insoles to dry separately.

Troubleshooting
My feet feel cramped or numb during runs.
Check your lacing. It might be too tight, especially across the top of your foot. Try loosening the laces or skipping an eyelet if there's a pressure point. Ensure your socks aren't too thick, or that the shoe size is appropriate for your foot length and width.
My heel slips when I run.
Utilize the extra eyelets at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing technique. This helps secure the ankle and prevent heel movement. Also, check that your shoe is laced snugly but not too tightly through the midfoot.
The shoe feels less responsive over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on the runner's weight, gait, and intensity of use. A decrease in responsiveness often indicates the cushioning foam (PWRRUN PB) is compressing and losing its bounce. Consider if it's time for a replacement pair.
My shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
To prevent odor, always air out your shoes thoroughly after each run. Remove insoles and allow them to dry separately. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts, sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes, or occasionally hand wash them as per the care instructions.
I experience arch discomfort.
While the Endorphin Speed 5 offers a stable platform, individual arch support needs vary. If discomfort persists, consider using over-the-counter insoles designed for arch support. Consult with a running shoe specialist or podiatrist if discomfort is severe or ongoing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Sizing: Refer to Saucony's official sizing chart. Ensure a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and to prevent toe bruising on downhills.
Lacing: Experiment with different lacing techniques. A standard criss-cross lacing is a good starting point. For a more secure heel fit, especially if experiencing slippage, utilize the extra eyelets to create a 'runner's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing.
Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short walks or easy runs initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. While generally comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period is always beneficial.
Compatibility
Running Surfaces: Best suited for road running, track workouts, and well-maintained paths. The outsole is designed for durable traction on these surfaces.
Run Types: Highly compatible with a range of runs including speed work, tempo runs, intervals, long-distance training, and race efforts from 5K to marathon distances.
Runner Profile: Ideal for neutral runners or those with mild pronation who appreciate a responsive, cushioned, and propulsive ride.
Care
Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub dirty areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove the insoles and allow them to dry separately. Keep shoes away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in damp gym bags or hot car trunks for extended periods.
Rotation: Consider rotating your Endorphin Speed 5 with other training shoes to extend their lifespan and allow the foam to decompress between runs.
