FAQs
What is the main difference between the Endorphin Azura and other trainers in the Endorphin series?
The Endorphin Azura offers a 'super foam' experience without a carbon plate, focusing on a smooth, bouncy, and responsive ride for daily training and faster efforts. Other models in the Endorphin series might feature plates for maximum propulsion or be geared more towards racing.
Is the Endorphin Azura suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Azura can be used for marathon training and racing due to its cushioning and SpeedRoll technology, offering a balance of comfort and efficiency. However, runners seeking maximum cushioning for ultra-long distances might prefer other options.
How does the PWRRUN PB foam feel?
PWRRUN PB foam is designed to be soft and bouncy, providing a lively and energetic feel underfoot that helps reduce fatigue over longer runs and during faster paces.
Can I wear these shoes for casual walking?
While the cushioning offers comfort, the shoe is specifically engineered for running performance. For extensive casual walking, dedicated walking shoes might offer better support and durability for that activity.
How long should I expect the shoes to last?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on mileage, terrain, and individual biomechanics, but typically, the midsole cushioning begins to degrade after 300-500 miles. Regular inspection for wear on the outsole and upper can also indicate when replacement is needed.
What kind of socks are recommended?
Moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool running socks are recommended to keep feet dry and comfortable, and to work in conjunction with the shoe's adaptive fit.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing in the shoe
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing different types of running socks. The adaptive fit may require a few runs to fully conform to your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Running shoes have a lifespan. If you've put significant mileage on the shoes (typically 300-500 miles), the foam may have compressed. Consider replacing the shoes.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can be challenging for any shoe. Run with caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Azura is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. No specific setup is required.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most running surfaces, including pavement and light trails. They are suitable for adult runners of all genders.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
