FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Endorphin Pro 5?
The primary benefit is enhanced speed and efficiency, achieved through its responsive midsole, carbon plate, and SpeedRoll technology designed for explosive propulsion and smoother transitions.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday training?
While durable, the Endorphin Pro 5 is optimized for speed and racing. For daily training or recovery, a shoe with a softer, more accommodating feel might be preferred.
How does the carbon plate work?
The slotted carbon plate works with the midsole's geometry to stiffen the shoe and enhance the SpeedRoll technology, promoting a faster and more efficient forward-rolling motion.
What type of running surfaces is this shoe best for?
It is best suited for road running surfaces, especially during races or speed-focused training sessions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart and measure your foot length. The Endorphin Pro 5 is designed for a snug, performance fit. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the difference between PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, PEBA-based foam known for its high energy return. Super Critical PWRRUN HG is a newer, highly resilient foam compound designed for responsiveness and durability, forming the upper layer of the midsole.
Can I use these shoes in wet weather?
The PWRTRAC outsole provides good grip on dry surfaces. While it can handle light moisture, caution is advised on very wet or slippery roads due to the performance-focused tread pattern.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff
Ensure the shoe is properly laced and consider a break-in period. The shoe is designed for performance, so some initial stiffness is normal. Try wearing them for shorter runs before a race.
Lack of grip on wet surfaces
The PWRTRAC outsole is optimized for dry conditions. Exercise caution and reduce speed on wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal tread.
Unusual noise from the sole
This can occasionally occur due to air trapped in the midsole or plate. Often, this noise will dissipate with continued use. If it persists and is concerning, contact customer support.
Midsole feels too responsive for casual running
The Endorphin Pro 5 is a performance racing shoe. For daily training or recovery runs, consider using a shoe with a softer, more forgiving midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Endorphin Pro 5 is ready to race out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by trying them on and checking for comfort and security. Lace them snugly but avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow during long runs.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for road running. They are compatible with most GPS running watches and fitness trackers for performance monitoring.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
