FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the SpeedRoll technology?
SpeedRoll technology is designed to create a smoother and more efficient transition through your stride, helping you to run faster with less perceived effort.
Can I use these trainers for marathon racing?
While the Endorphin Azura offers a responsive and cushioned ride suitable for daily training and faster runs, it is not specifically designed as a race-day shoe like plated racing flats. It excels as a versatile daily trainer.
How does the PWRRUN PB foam differ from other Saucony foams?
PWRRUN PB is Saucony's lightest and most resilient foam, offering a combination of soft cushioning and high energy return, often described as bouncy.
Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?
Yes, the Endorphin Azura is designed as a neutral daily trainer, providing cushioning and support without motion control features.
How often should I replace my Endorphin Azura trainers?
Most running shoes, including the Endorphin Azura, are recommended to be replaced after 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
What is the intended use for the Endorphin Azura?
The Endorphin Azura is intended as a high-performance daily trainer, ideal for runners looking for a fast, light, and well-cushioned shoe for everyday runs and tempo workouts.
Do these trainers have a carbon plate?
No, the Endorphin Azura provides a super foam experience and enhanced transitions through its PWRRUN PB foam and SpeedRoll technology, but it does not feature a carbon fiber plate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., heel lock lacing) for a more secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris. While the foam is durable, extreme conditions or prolonged heavy use can impact performance. Consider replacing after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
The XT-900 outsole provides good traction, but wet conditions can always reduce grip. Run with caution on very wet or slick surfaces.
