Full details

Its innovative design delivers a stable, responsive ride; however, its specialized performance focus might mean it is not the most heavily cushioned option for every type of ultra-distance run, nor is it designed for rugged trail use.

FAQs
What type of running is the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 best suited for?
The Endorphin Speed 5 is best for speed days, race days, tempo runs, and interval training. It is also capable during long, moderate training sessions.
What is the heel-to-toe offset of this shoe?
The heel-to-toe offset is 8mm, with a stack height of 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot.
How much does the Endorphin Speed 5 weigh?
The men's model weighs 8.4 ounces (238 grams).
What type of cushioning technology does it use?
It features PWRRUN PB cushioning, which is a highly responsive and energy-efficient foam.
What is SPEEDROLL Technology?
SPEEDROLL Technology is Saucony's 'always-forward' geometry that promotes an effortless sense of speed and continuous forward momentum, making your strides feel smoother and faster.
Does this shoe have a carbon plate?
No, the Endorphin Speed 5 utilizes a semi-rigid nylon plate, which provides a balance of propulsion and flexibility without the extreme stiffness of a carbon plate, making it more versatile for training.
Is the upper breathable?
Yes, it features a brand new designed mesh that is lightweight and highly breathable, making it suitable for fast-paced efforts and comfortable for everyday wear.
How should I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 shoes?
Clean them gently with a mild soap and cool water, using a soft brush or cloth. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel less responsive or 'flat' over time.
Cushioning naturally compresses with use. Ensure proper care, including air drying and storing, and consider rotating your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress between runs. Frequent, high-mileage use will eventually lead to cushioning breakdown.
Experiencing hot spots or rubbing.
Check your lacing technique to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing patterns. Make sure you're wearing appropriate, moisture-wicking running socks. Verify your shoe size; an incorrect size can cause friction. A brief break-in period can also resolve initial discomfort.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the outsole offers good durability and traction, conditions like heavy rain or slick surfaces can reduce grip. Adjust your stride and pace in such conditions. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent mud or debris buildup from impacting traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional energy return and propulsion for speed.
- Smooth and natural foot transitions due to SPEEDROLL and longitudinal groove.
- Versatile for both speed workouts, race days, and moderate long runs.
- Lightweight and breathable design enhances comfort during fast efforts.
- Enhanced outsole durability in key high-wear areas.
- Stable and responsive ride thanks to the winged nylon plate.
Cons
- Specialized for speed, which might feel different for very slow or recovery runs.
- Less detailed information regarding specific sustainability features provided.
- While comfortable for everyday wear, the lightweight mesh may not offer the same robust protection as some heavier daily trainers.
- May require a short break-in period for some runners to adapt to the SPEEDROLL geometry.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure a secure and comfortable fit by properly lacing your shoes. Utilize all eyelets to prevent heel slip. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or a loose fit.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short, easy runs or walks initially to allow them to conform to your feet and for you to adapt to the SPEEDROLL geometry. While designed for comfort, a brief break-in period is beneficial.
Compatibility
- Running Type: Ideal for road running, track workouts, speed training, tempo runs, and race distances from 5K to marathon. Its design prioritizes forward momentum and efficiency on paved surfaces.
- Foot Type: Suitable for a wide range of foot types, offering a stable yet flexible platform. The neutral design works well for runners without significant pronation issues.
Care
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris after each run. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub the mesh and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean, cool water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like a dryer or radiator), as excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in a hot car, which can degrade the foam and upper materials over time.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Endorphin Speed 5 with other running shoes. This allows the cushioning to decompress and recover, extending the life of the shoe and offering variety for your feet.
