Does this shoe have a carbon plate?
No, the Endorphin Azura does not feature a carbon plate. It belongs to the 'Fast & Light' category, offering a super foam experience without the stiffness often associated with plated shoes.
How does the SpeedRoll technology work?
SpeedRoll technology is designed to create a forward-rocking sensation, facilitating smoother and quicker transitions from heel-strike to toe-off, making your stride feel more efficient.

What is the difference between the Endorphin Azura and other Endorphin models?
The Azura focuses on delivering a versatile daily trainer experience with a balance of soft cushioning and responsive transitions without a plate, whereas other Endorphin models might be more specialized for racing (e.g., with plates) or offer different ride characteristics.
How should I clean my Endorphin Azura trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush for loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap and water for more thorough cleaning. Avoid machine washing and air dry them naturally.
What is the primary benefit of the PWRRUN PB foam?
PWRRUN PB foam provides a soft, bouncy cushioning that absorbs impact while also offering a responsive feel, helping to return energy with each stride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The adaptive fit may require a short break-in period.
Traction seems insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the XT-900 rubber offers good grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces require cautious running. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that might impede traction.
Slight discomfort during initial runs.
This is normal for new running shoes. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage as they break in to your foot shape.
