FAQs
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Endorphin Azura?
The shoe features an 8mm heel offset.
Is this a stable shoe for overpronators?
No, the Endorphin Azura is designed as a neutral trainer and does not contain extra medial support features.
What is the stack height?
The stack height is 40mm in the heel and 32mm in the forefoot.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the XT900 rubber provides good grip, the sole and upper are optimized for smooth, paved surfaces and are not suitable for technical trails.
How should I clean the PWRRUN PB foam?
Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge the shoes or put them in the dryer.
Does the shoe contain a carbon plate?
No, the Endorphin Azura is a plateless design, offering a more flexible and natural feel compared to carbon-plated racing shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of instability during cornering
The 40mm stack height is tall; focus on a shorter, more cadenced stride to improve contact time and ground stability.
Upper material showing early signs of debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and grit from the mesh weave after every run to prevent abrasive wear.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Endorphin Azura, follow these best practices:
- Break-in Period: While ready out of the box, wear them for shorter runs initially to allow the foam to adapt to your specific gait.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Remove the insole separately to air dry. Avoid machine washing or drying, as excessive heat can degrade the foam composition.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature hardening or yellowing of the midsole foam.
- Rotation: If training heavily, alternate these with a different pair of shoes to allow the foam's cellular structure to rebound fully between sessions.
