FAQs
What is the main benefit of the SpeedRoll technology?
SpeedRoll technology is designed to create a feeling of effortless momentum, rolling you forward through your stride for smoother and quicker transitions.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While excellent for daily training and tempo runs, they are designed as high-performance daily trainers. For pure marathon racing, you might consider a shoe with a carbon fiber plate for maximum propulsion.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel snug but not constricting, and the heel should not slip.
What type of running surfaces are these best for?
They are primarily designed for road running but can also handle light trails due to the durable XT-900 rubber outsole.
How often should I replace my Endorphin Azura trainers?
Most running shoes, including the Endorphin Azura, typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km), depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Can I use these for walking as well as running?
Yes, the cushioning and smooth transitions make them comfortable for walking, though they are optimized for running performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive
Loosen the laces and relace them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. Consider using the extra eyelet for a more secure heel lock if needed.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This is normal wear and tear. The foam's properties will naturally decrease after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The XT-900 rubber provides good grip, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.

- Comfortable and secure fit for various foot shapes.
- Offers a responsive feel for when you want to accelerate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run. Adjust the laces for a secure yet comfortable fit.
Compatibility:
Designed for road running and light trail use. Compatible with most running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the outsole and upper.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like a car trunk.
