FAQs
Who is the Endorphin Pro 5 designed for?
The Endorphin Pro 5 is designed for competitive runners looking for a shoe to maximize performance on race day, particularly those who favor a fast, propulsive ride.
Can I use the Endorphin Pro 5 for daily training?
While possible, these shoes are optimized for speed and may wear down faster with heavy daily training. They are best reserved for race days and key speed workouts.
What is SPEEDROLL Technology?
SPEEDROLL is Saucony's proprietary geometry that creates a propulsive feel, encouraging a forward-rolling motion to help you run faster with less effort.
How does the carbon plate work?
The carbon fiber plate is embedded in the midsole to provide stiffness and leverage, working with the foams and SPEEDROLL geometry to enhance energy return and propulsion.
What is the difference between PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN HG?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, super-foam offering excellent energy return. PWRRUN HG (High-Grade) provides a firmer, more responsive layer that complements PWRRUN PB for an explosive feel.
How durable is the PWRTRAC outsole?
The PWRTRAC rubber is designed for durability and grip on road surfaces, but like all high-performance racing shoe outsoles, its longevity depends on usage and terrain.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit is crucial for racing performance. This specific model is UK size 11.5.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff
This is common with carbon-plated shoes. Try wearing thicker socks or using them for shorter, faster runs initially to allow your feet to adapt.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are not overly saturated with water and are dried properly. Extreme conditions can affect foam performance. Consider replacing after significant mileage.
Outsole losing grip
Check for embedded debris in the tread. If the rubber is significantly worn down, traction will naturally decrease. These shoes are optimized for performance and may wear faster than training shoes.
Upper feels uncomfortable
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to avoid pressure points. If the discomfort persists, the shoe's shape might not be ideal for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Pro 5 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly, as with any running shoe.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track racing. They are compatible with most running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or humid environments.
