FAQs
Who is the Endorphin Pro 5 designed for?
The Endorphin Pro 5 is designed for adult male runners who are looking to achieve their personal bests in races and high-intensity training sessions. It's a high-level performance shoe.
What is the primary benefit of the SpeedRoll technology?
The SpeedRoll technology, enhanced by the slotted carbon plate, is designed to create a smoother and quicker forward transition, making your stride feel more effortless and propelling you forward efficiently.
How does the midsole cushioning work?
The midsole uses a combination of PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG foams. This fusion provides a lightweight, highly responsive platform that delivers explosive propulsion with every step.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday running?
While durable, the Endorphin Pro 5 is optimized for speed and racing. For everyday mileage and recovery runs, it is generally recommended to use a more traditionally cushioned shoe to prolong the life of this specialized racing shoe and provide a different type of comfort.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The PWRTRAC rubber outsole is engineered to offer reliable grip and durability across various running surfaces, ensuring stability and traction when you need it most.
How do I care for my Endorphin Pro 5s?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap after runs, air dry them away from heat, and store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid machine washing.
What is the key difference in the Pro 5 compared to previous models?
The Pro 5 features a new slotted carbon plate that further enhances the SpeedRoll technology for smoother transitions, alongside an updated midsole composition for improved responsiveness and propulsion.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff or inflexible
The Endorphin Pro 5 features a carbon plate and SpeedRoll technology designed for a specific ride. Allow for a break-in period of 15-30 miles to let the shoe adapt to your foot and gait.
Slipping during push-off or landing
Ensure the laces are tied securely and that the shoe fits properly. Check the PWRTRAC outsole for excessive wear or debris that might be affecting grip. Clean the outsole if it appears dirty.
Discomfort in the arch or heel
Verify you have the correct size and width. The shoe's geometry is designed for forward propulsion, so ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If discomfort persists, consider using after-market insoles or consulting a running specialist.
Midsole feels too firm
The combination of PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN HG is engineered for responsiveness. The shoe's performance characteristics are intentionally geared towards a firmer, more propulsive feel compared to plush trainers. Ensure you are using them for their intended purpose (racing/speed work).
