Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 is designed for runners seeking a highly versatile shoe capable of handling race day speeds, challenging tempo runs, and comfortable daily training. It excels by blending responsive propulsion from its semi-rigid nylon plate with plush, lightweight cushioning, offering a dynamic and efficient ride for various running demands. However, its performance-oriented design means it prioritizes speed and efficiency, which might feel different from a traditional soft daily trainer.

FAQs
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Endorphin Speed 5?
The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 features an 8mm heel offset (stack height of 36mm heel, 28mm forefoot), which is a versatile drop suitable for many runners.
Is the Endorphin Speed 5 suitable for daily training?
Yes, it is highly versatile and designed for daily training in addition to tempo runs and race day. Its blend of cushioning and propulsion makes it a great choice for everyday mileage.
How does the nylon plate differ from a carbon plate?
The semi-rigid nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 offers a propulsive feel and added stability, but it is generally more flexible and forgiving than a stiff carbon fiber plate. This makes the Speed 5 more approachable and comfortable for a wider range of uses and paces.
What does Speedroll Technology do?
Speedroll Technology is Saucony's signature rocker-shaped geometry that creates a continuous feeling of momentum. It helps to roll your foot quickly and smoothly from landing to toe-off, promoting a faster and more efficient stride.
What is the weight of the women's Endorphin Speed 5?
The women's Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 weighs approximately 204g (7.2 oz).
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The GRIPTRAC outsole is designed for optimal performance on roads, tracks, and park paths. While it can handle very light, non-technical trails, it is not specifically engineered for rugged off-road conditions and may lack sufficient grip and protection for challenging trail environments.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or uncomfortable during runs.
Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks, as thicker socks can sometimes cause overheating. Check your lacing; an overly tight fit can restrict blood flow and breathability. The improved mesh upper is designed for breathability, but individual comfort can vary.
I'm not feeling the "pop" or propulsion that I expected.
The Speedroll Technology and nylon plate work best with a forward-leaning posture and mid-to-forefoot strike. Focus on engaging your glutes and hamstrings, and try to minimize overstriding to fully leverage the shoe's geometry and energy return.
The outsole seems to be wearing down quickly.
While the GRIPTRAC outsole is optimized for durability with extra coverage, excessive wear can occur depending on running form, surface type, and mileage. Consider rotating your shoes regularly to give the outsole a rest and prolong its life. Avoid highly abrasive surfaces if possible.
My shoes feel less cushioned after many miles.
Running shoe foams, including PWRRUN PB, have a lifespan. Over time, the cushioning properties will diminish. This is normal. The Endorphin Speed 5 is a durable shoe, but if it feels significantly different, it might be time to consider a replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional versatility for race day, tempo runs, and daily training.
- Outstanding blend of responsive propulsion and comfortable cushioning.
- Enhanced stability provided by the winged nylon plate.
- Durable outsole design ensures longevity across various running surfaces.
- Lightweight and breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
Cons
- The semi-rigid plate may not suit runners preferring a completely flexible daily trainer.
- While versatile, it's not specifically designed for technical trail running.
- Info needed: The feel of the new upper might differ from previous versions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Remove your new Endorphin Speed 5 shoes from their packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is locked in place and your toes have enough room to splay naturally.
- First Run: We recommend a short, easy run for your first outing to get acquainted with the shoe's feel and technology. This allows your feet to adapt to the unique ride of the PWRRUN PB foam and Speedroll Geometry.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: Ideal for asphalt, track, and well-maintained park paths. While capable of handling light gravel, it's not designed for technical trail running.
- Run Type: Excellent for long runs, tempo efforts, interval training, and racing.
- Foot Type: Generally suitable for neutral runners. The winged nylon plate offers a touch of inherent stability, which can benefit a wide range of runners.
- Sizing: Refer to standard UK running shoe sizing. Consider your typical running shoe size for an accurate fit.
Care
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or dirty conditions, gently wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Avoid placing them in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Allowing them to air out between runs helps prevent odor buildup.
- Rotation: Rotating your Endorphin Speed 5 with other running shoes can extend its lifespan, allowing the foam to decompress and recover between uses.
