FAQs
Who is the Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 designed for?
These trainers are designed for adult male runners who are focused on speed and performance, particularly for racing and demanding speed training sessions.
What is the main benefit of the carbon-fibre plate?
The carbon-fibre plate works with the midsole foam to provide a stiff, responsive platform that enhances forward propulsion, helping you run faster with less effort.
How does SPEEDROLL technology work?
SPEEDROLL technology is an engineered geometry that creates a forward-rolling sensation, promoting a smoother, more efficient stride and helping you maintain momentum.
Can I use these shoes for everyday jogging?
While possible, the Endorphin Pro 5 is optimized for speed. For everyday easy runs, a more cushioned and less aggressive shoe might be more comfortable and suitable for recovery.
How do I clean my Endorphin Pro 5 trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush and a mild soap and cold water solution. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the difference between PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, high-rebound foam, while Super Critical PWRRUN HG is a firmer, more responsive foam used as a top layer in the midsole to enhance stability and energy transfer.
Are these shoes suitable for long distances like marathons?
Yes, the Endorphin Pro 5 is designed for race-day performance, including marathons, due to its propulsive nature and efficient energy return.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff on first wear.
This is normal for plated shoes. Wear them for shorter runs or walking initially to allow the midsole and plate to break in. Ensure you have the correct size; a shoe that is too small can feel stiffer.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
The PWRTRAC outsole is designed for dry and slightly damp conditions. On very wet or slick surfaces, exercise caution. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect traction.
Upper feels tight or uncomfortable.
Check lacing technique. Ensure you are not overtightening. The engineered mesh should conform to your foot; if discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and width for your foot type.
Midsole feels too firm.
The combination of PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN HG is designed for responsiveness. If it feels too firm, it might be due to the 'break-in' period or an incorrect size. Ensure you are running at a pace that benefits from this type of responsive cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Endorphin Pro 5 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to allow for foot expansion during runs. For optimal fit, wear your usual running socks.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track surfaces. They are compatible with most standard GPS running watches and fitness trackers for performance monitoring.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Endorphin Pro 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the foam and upper materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps prevent material degradation and maintains their shape.
- Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend the life of the shoes, consider rotating them with another pair of running shoes, especially if used for frequent high-intensity training.
