FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for daily training?

Yes, the Endorphin Speed 5 is highly versatile and durable enough to serve as a daily trainer for most runners.

Does the nylon plate make the shoe too stiff?

The nylon plate is designed to be flexible enough for natural foot movement while providing a boost in energy return, striking a balance between stiffness and comfort.

How should I clean the floral print?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently spot clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrub brushes that could damage the print detail.

Are these true to size?

Yes, Saucony generally adheres to standard sizing, but it is always recommended to use your UK size reference for the most accurate fit.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

Absolutely. Their combination of speed and cushioning makes them a popular choice for marathon racing.

What makes the Kissaten edition unique?

It features a custom floral teacup print and curated textures inspired by Japanese coffee culture, making it a stylistic departure from standard performance colorways.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability during sharp turns

Ensure your laces are tightened securely to keep your midfoot locked down, providing better lateral support.

Foam feels stiffer than expected

Cushioning may feel firm in cold temperatures. Let the shoes reach room temperature before running to maximize the responsiveness of the PWRRUN PB foam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from the nylon plate
  • Lightweight feel despite high levels of cushioning
  • Unique, detailed design aesthetic
  • Versatile enough for both daily mileage and speed workouts

Cons

  • The unique Kissaten styling may not appeal to all tastes
  • Performance-focused geometry requires a short adjustment period for some users
  • Lighter construction prioritizes speed over heavy-duty trail protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for a few shorter runs (3-5 miles) before attempting long-distance races to allow the nylon plate and foam to adapt to your stride.
  2. Surface Compatibility: These are optimized for paved roads, track surfaces, and synthetic running paths. Avoid heavy off-road or muddy terrain to preserve the integrity of the outsole.
  3. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. If deep cleaning is required, hand wash using cold water and a mild detergent. Do not submerge in water for extended periods.
  4. Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place these shoes in a dryer, as the heat can degrade the cushioning foam and warp the nylon plate.
