Full details
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 trainers are designed for runners seeking to increase their speed and achieve personal bests, offering a smooth and responsive ride. A key benefit is the combination of a new nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for energetic transitions.

FAQs
Are the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for everyday training?
Yes, they are versatile enough for daily runs, especially if you incorporate faster-paced workouts. However, for very long, slow recovery runs, a shoe with softer cushioning might be preferred by some.
What is the main difference between the Speed 5 and other models?
The Endorphin Speed 5 features a newly designed nylon plate and updated PWRRUN PB cushioning, offering enhanced snap and responsiveness for a faster feel compared to previous iterations or more cushioned models.
How durable is the nylon plate?
The nylon plate is designed for durability and resilience, providing consistent performance throughout the lifespan of the shoe for its intended use.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
Absolutely. Many runners find the Endorphin Speed 5 to be an excellent option for 5k, 10k, and even half-marathon races due to their lightweight and propulsive nature.
What type of arch support do these shoes offer?
The Endorphin Speed 5 offers a neutral support system, suitable for runners with neutral pronation or those who use their own orthotics.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight in the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Try lacing them differently to find a more comfortable fit. Some stiffness may be present initially due to the new plate, which often eases after a few runs.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The PWRRUN PB cushioning may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities other than running, which can accelerate wear.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is free of debris for optimal contact.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent energy return for a fast and responsive ride.
- The new nylon plate enhances toe-off and speed.
- Comfortable and breathable upper for secure fit.
- Versatile for tempo runs, interval training, and racing.
- Durable outsole provides good traction.
Cons
- May feel firmer than shoes designed for maximum cushioning.
- Not ideal for very slow recovery runs where plush comfort is paramount.
- The aggressive geometry might require a short adjustment period for some runners.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. For the best fit, wear them with your usual running socks.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most road surfaces, including asphalt and concrete. They are not intended for trail running due to the outsole design.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
