FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Endorphin Speed 5?
The main benefit is its ability to provide a fast, smooth, and responsive ride, making it excellent for speed training, tempo runs, and racing thanks to its PWRRUN PB cushioning and nylon plate.
Who is the Endorphin Speed 5 best suited for?
It's best suited for neutral runners looking for a shoe to improve their speed, whether for competition or dedicated speed workouts. It's also capable for moderate-paced daily training.
Is the nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 rigid?
The nylon plate has wings for torsional stiffness but is designed to maintain flexibility in the forefoot, offering a balance of stability and a propulsive feel rather than extreme rigidity.
How does the SPEEDROLL technology work?
SPEEDROLL technology uses a combination of geometry and rocker shape to create a feeling of effortless forward momentum, helping you maintain a faster cadence with less effort.
What is the weight of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5?
The men's version weighs 8.4oz (238g). The women's version is typically slightly lighter.
Can I use the Endorphin Speed 5 for long, slow runs?
Yes, while optimized for speed, the cushioning and smooth transitions make them suitable for longer, moderate-paced runs. However, for very slow recovery runs, a shoe with more plush cushioning might be preferred by some.
What surfaces are these shoes best for?
These trainers are primarily designed for asphalt (road) surfaces and track running.
Troubleshooting
Slight squeaking sound during runs
This can sometimes occur due to the interaction of the cushioning and outsole. Try ensuring the shoe is clean and dry. If it persists and is bothersome, it typically does not affect performance.
Feeling of the plate too much
The nylon plate is designed for responsiveness. If it feels too stiff, ensure you are using the correct size and the shoe is properly laced. Breaking them in over a few runs can also help soften the feel.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good durability, like most road running shoes, grip can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution during wet conditions.
Upper feels too snug
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If the shoe is still too snug, it may not be the right fit for your foot shape. Consider trying a half-size up or a different model.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides an explosive and agile feel for speed work and racing.
- Responsive PWRRUN PB cushioning offers excellent energy return.
- SPEEDROLL technology enhances forward momentum and smooth transitions.
- Durable construction with increased rubber coverage on the outsole.
- Lightweight and breathable mesh upper for comfort during fast runs.
Cons
- May feel less cushioned for runners prioritizing maximum plushness on longer, slower runs.
- Nylon plate offers responsiveness but might be firmer than carbon plates for some.
- Primarily designed for speed, potentially less versatile for very low-intensity recovery runs.
- Specific fit and feel might not suit all foot types without trying them on.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably, with adequate room in the toe box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and perform best on asphalt surfaces, making them suitable for road running, track workouts, and racing. They are compatible with most running socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Endorphin Speed 5s:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid crushing them under heavy items.
- Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend their lifespan, consider rotating them with another pair of running shoes.
