FAQs
Is the Endorphin Pro 5 suitable for daily training?
While durable, the Endorphin Pro 5 is optimized for speed and race-day performance. Its responsive and firm ride may not be ideal for high-mileage daily training for all runners. Consider it for speed workouts and races, and a more cushioned shoe for everyday miles.
How does the carbon plate affect performance?
The slotted carbon plate works with the shoe's geometry to enhance propulsion and create a smoother, faster transition through your stride. It helps to stabilize the responsive foam and makes the ride feel more energetic.
What is SpeedRoll Technology?
SpeedRoll Technology is an engineered curvature in the shoe that works in conjunction with the plate and midsole to provide a propulsive feel, reducing the effort needed to run faster and making transitions feel smoother.
How do I clean my Endorphin Pro 5 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What surfaces are these shoes best for?
They are best suited for road running and track surfaces. The PWRTRAC outsole provides good grip on dry and moderately wet surfaces.
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Pro 5 is specifically designed for performance, making it an excellent choice for marathon distances where energy efficiency and speed are crucial.
What's the difference between PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, high-rebound foam, while Super Critical PWRRUN HG is designed for maximum energy return and responsiveness. The combination aims to provide a balance of cushioning and explosive propulsion.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff or rigid
This is normal for a carbon-plated shoe. Ensure the shoe is laced correctly to allow for natural foot flex. Try a few shorter runs to break them in. If the stiffness persists and causes discomfort, this shoe may not be the best fit for your biomechanics.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the PWRTRAC outsole offers good grip, extremely wet conditions can reduce traction. Run with caution and ensure your stride is controlled. Clean the outsole periodically to remove any embedded debris that might affect grip.
Unusual noise from the midsole
Minor noises can sometimes occur with advanced foam compounds. If the noise is accompanied by a loss of cushioning or responsiveness, it may indicate a more significant issue. Inspect for any visible damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Pro 5 is ready to run out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. Lacing them appropriately is key to leveraging the SpeedRoll technology and overall performance. A standard lacing technique usually suffices, but some may prefer a runner's knot for a more secure fit, especially during intense efforts.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track use. They are compatible with most standard running socks. While they excel on dry surfaces, their performance on wet conditions is enhanced by the PWRTRAC outsole's grip. They are not intended for trail running due to the outsole pattern and midsole cushioning.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Endorphin Pro 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shoe's structure.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
