FAQs
Are the Endorphin Azura suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Azura can be used for marathon running due to their cushioning and efficient ride. However, for ultra-marathon distances or if you prioritize maximum plushness, you might consider models with even more substantial cushioning.
How do I know if the 8mm drop is right for me?
An 8mm drop is a moderate heel-to-toe drop that suits a wide range of runners. It's often a good transition point for those moving from higher-drop shoes or for runners looking for a balanced feel that doesn't overly bias forefoot or heel striking.
Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?
While the cushioning and responsiveness are beneficial, these trainers are optimized for linear motion like running. For lateral movements in gym workouts, a cross-training shoe might offer better stability.
What is the main difference between the Endorphin Azura and other Endorphin models?
The Endorphin Azura stands out by offering a non-plated super foam experience, combining PWRRUN PB and SpeedRoll for a fast, light, and responsive ride without a carbon plate, making it a high-performance daily trainer.
How durable is the XT-900 rubber outsole?
The XT-900 rubber is known for its durability and exceptional traction, designed to withstand regular road running use and maintain its grip over time.
What is the weight of the Saucony Endorphin Azura?
The Saucony Endorphin Azura weighs approximately 240g, making them a lightweight option suitable for fast training and racing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause hot spots
Adjust the lacing system, ensuring not to overtighten. If hot spots persist, consider wearing thinner socks or re-evaluating the lacing pattern for your specific foot shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the XT-900 outsole offers good grip, extremely wet or slick conditions can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For heavily wet runs, exercise caution.
Midsole feels too firm or too soft
The PWRRUN PB midsole is designed for a balance of cushioning and responsiveness. If it feels too firm, ensure you are adequately warmed up. If it feels too soft for faster running, try tightening the laces to engage the SpeedRoll technology more effectively.

Cons
- Primarily designed for road running; may not offer optimal grip on trails or uneven surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preference for a secure midfoot lockdown.
Compatibility: Designed for road running. Suitable for various road surfaces including pavement, asphalt, and well-maintained paths. Not recommended for technical trails or slippery off-road conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the outsole, a stiff brush can help dislodge debris from the tread.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot environments, such as a car on a sunny day.
