FAQs

What kind of runs is the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 best suited for?

The Endorphin Speed 5 is best suited for speed days, race days, tempo runs, and interval training. However, its versatile design and comfortable cushioning also make it a great choice for long runs and daily training.

What is PWRRUN PB foam?

PWRRUN PB is Saucony's energy-efficient cushioning compound. It's a lightweight, highly responsive foam that delivers significant energy return, providing a lively, springy feel with every stride.

How does the SPEEDROLL technology work?

SPEEDROLL Technology is an always-on, propulsive geometry that helps create an instant feeling of continuous momentum. It elevates the foot to create a lively rolling sensation, making strides feel smoother and faster without extra effort.

Is the nylon plate comfortable for everyday training?

Yes, unlike stiffer carbon plates, the winged nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 5 is designed to offer torsional rigidity for stability while maintaining forefoot flexibility. This balance makes it comfortable and adaptable enough for everyday training, not just race day.

What is the offset of this shoe?

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 has an 8mm offset, with a heel stack height of 36mm and a forefoot stack height of 28mm.

How should I clean my Endorphin Speed 5 shoes?

To clean your shoes, gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a soft cloth. Do not machine wash or dry, and always air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.

How durable is the outsole of the Endorphin Speed 5?

The Endorphin Speed 5 features increased rubber coverage on the heel and around the edges of the outsole. This enhancement is specifically designed to improve durability and extend the shoe's lifespan, especially in high-wear areas.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable in certain areas.

Adjust your lacing technique. Different lacing patterns can alleviate pressure points. Ensure your socks are not too thick and are designed for running to prevent rubbing. Allow a few runs for the shoe to break in.

Reduced responsiveness or 'bounce' during runs.

Running shoes, especially those with performance foams like PWRRUN PB, have a lifespan. If you've accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), the cushioning may be compressing. Consider if it's time to replace your shoes.

Foot slipping inside the shoe or heel lift.

Ensure you are using the 'runner's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure your foot better and prevent heel slippage. Check that the size is correct; shoes that are too large can cause excessive movement.

Experiencing pain or discomfort not typical for running.

While the Endorphin Speed 5 is versatile, ensure it's the right shoe for your specific biomechanics and running goals. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist or medical professional. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use & Setup

Upon receiving your Saucony Endorphin Speed 5, ensure a proper fit by lacing them comfortably but securely. The new mesh upper is designed for immediate comfort, but a few shorter runs can help break them in fully to your foot's unique shape. Pay attention to how the shoe feels, especially around the midfoot and toe box, to ensure optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility

The Endorphin Speed 5 is BEST FOR Speed days/Race days, but its versatile design makes it compatible with a wide range of running activities, including moderate training runs, long distances, and daily mileage. Its 8mm offset is a common drop suitable for many runners, offering a balanced ride.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Saucony Endorphin Speed 5, follow these general care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry at room temperature.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Wear Monitoring: Regularly inspect the outsole for signs of wear. While the Endorphin Speed 5 features increased rubber for durability, all running shoes have a limited lifespan. Replacing shoes when the cushioning feels 'flat' or the outsole tread is significantly worn helps prevent injury.
