FAQs
Is the Endorphin Pro 5 suitable for daily training?
The Endorphin Pro 5 is primarily engineered for speed and racing. While it can be used for some faster training days like tempo runs, its aggressive design and super foam cushioning are best preserved for race efforts. For daily mileage, consider a more cushioned and durable trainer.
What is the main difference between the Pro 5 and other Endorphin models?
The Pro 5 features a carbon fiber plate and a combination of PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG for maximum propulsion and energy return, making it the most race-oriented shoe in the Endorphin line. Other models might offer different levels of cushioning or a nylon plate for a more versatile ride.
How do I know if the size is right?
A performance running shoe should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel does not slip and the midfoot is secure.
Will the carbon plate affect my running form?
The carbon plate, combined with SpeedRoll technology, is designed to enhance your natural stride and promote forward momentum. It encourages a quicker cadence and can make your stride feel more efficient. Most runners adapt quickly to this sensation.
How durable is the PWRTRAC rubber outsole?
The PWRTRAC rubber is known for its durability and grip. It is designed to withstand the demands of running on various road surfaces while providing consistent traction over many miles.
Can I use these shoes in wet weather?
The PWRTRAC outsole provides good grip, but like all road running shoes, performance on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution on wet roads or slippery conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff or firm
The Endorphin Pro 5 is designed for speed and responsiveness, which can feel firm. Try wearing thicker socks or allowing for a break-in period of a few shorter runs to let the cushioning adapt to your stride.
Traction is lacking on wet surfaces
While the PWRTRAC outsole offers good grip, wet conditions can reduce traction for any shoe. Ensure you are running at a controlled pace on wet roads and be mindful of slick surfaces.
Discomfort during transitions
The SpeedRoll technology and carbon plate create a unique feel. Ensure the shoe is laced correctly and the fit is secure. Some runners may need a few runs to adapt to the shoe's inherent geometry.
Upper feels too restrictive
The Super Critical PWRRUN HG upper is designed for a secure, race-day fit. If it feels too tight, ensure your lacing is not overly constrictive and that the toe box volume is adequate for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Pro 5 is ready to run out of the box. Ensure the shoes fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room in the toe box. They are designed for a performance fit, so consider if you need to size up slightly based on personal preference or if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running. It is compatible with most road surfaces, including asphalt and dry, packed trails. It is not recommended for trail running with technical terrain or for gym-based workouts where lateral stability is paramount.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Endorphin Pro 5:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the outsole and upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
