Full details
The Saucony Endorphin Azura trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a fast and responsive shoe for daily training. They offer a unique combination of soft, bouncy cushioning with a smooth, propulsive ride thanks to PWRRUN PB foam and SpeedRoll technology.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the SpeedRoll technology?
SpeedRoll technology is designed to create a propulsive feeling, encouraging a smoother and quicker transition from your heel strike to toe-off, helping you run faster with less perceived effort.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Azura can be used for marathon running due to its cushioning and comfort. However, runners seeking maximum cushioning for very long distances might prefer models with more substantial midsole foam.
How does the PWRRUN PB foam differ from other Saucony foams?
PWRRUN PB is a premium, PEBA-based foam that offers exceptional energy return and a lightweight, bouncy feel, distinct from firmer EVA-based foams.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the XT-900 outsole offers decent grip, these trainers are primarily designed for road running. They may handle very light, groomed trails but are not ideal for technical terrain.
What is the difference between this and a plated shoe?
This shoe features responsive foam and SpeedRoll technology for a fast feel, but it does not contain a rigid plate (like carbon fiber). This results in a more natural and flexible ride compared to plated racing shoes.
How should I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the brand's official size guide or try on the shoes in person if possible. Generally, you should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe size may not be suitable.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The PWRRUN PB foam is designed for longevity, but performance may subtly decrease after significant mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and that no debris is trapped in the midsole.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The XT-900 rubber provides good traction, but all outsoles have limitations on extremely slick surfaces. Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be interfering with grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Excellent for achieving faster mile times.
- Durable outsole for reliable traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them snugly but comfortably, adjusting to your preference.
Compatibility: Designed as running trainers, they are compatible with most running surfaces including roads, treadmills, and light trails. They are not specifically designed for court sports or heavy-duty gym training.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods.
