FAQs
What is the main difference between the Endorphin Azura and other Endorphin models?
The Endorphin Azura focuses on providing a balance of cushioning and a propulsive feel for versatile fast running, with the Hi Octane edition adding a distinctive aesthetic. Other Endorphin models might offer more specialized features, such as maximal cushioning (Pro) or a focus on trail running (Trail).
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Azura's combination of cushioning and SpeedRoll technology makes them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a responsive and lighter feel over maximal plushness.
How durable is the XT-900 rubber outsole?
The XT-900 rubber is known for its durability, offering good traction and resistance to wear, making it suitable for regular road running.
What kind of socks work best with these trainers?
Technical running socks made from moisture-wicking materials are recommended. They help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the secure fit of the trainers.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training activities?
While primarily designed for running, the secure fit and cushioning offer some versatility. However, for activities requiring significant lateral support (like court sports), specialized shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure on the top or sides of your foot.
What is the inspiration behind the Hi Octane design?
The Hi Octane edition draws inspiration from extreme-sports aesthetics and culture, such as boxing, wrestling, and motocross, channeling a raw energy and bold attitude.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.
Loosen the laces, especially around the areas of discomfort. Try re-lacing the shoes in a different pattern. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists after a few runs, the fit might not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The PWRRUN PB foam is designed for longevity, but extreme conditions or excessive wear can impact its properties. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If significant degradation occurs within a reasonable timeframe, consider contacting customer support.
Outsole grip seems diminished.
Check the XT-900 rubber outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the outsole with water and a brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.

Care: To maintain your trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid conditions.
