FAQs
What is PWRRUN PB foam?
PWRRUN PB is Saucony's premium, peba-based super foam that provides exceptional cushioning, high energy return, and a lightweight feel for a bouncy and fast ride.
How does SPEEDROLL technology work?
SPEEDROLL is a geometry-based technology designed to propel you forward with less effort, creating a smooth and fast transition from heel to toe-off for an effortless stride.
Is the Hi Octane edition suitable for everyday running?
Yes, the Hi Octane edition retains the core performance features of the Endorphin Azura, making it fully suitable for daily mileage and faster training runs, with the added benefit of a bold aesthetic.
What type of surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and are also suitable for light trails. The XT-900 rubber outsole provides reliable traction on most common running surfaces.
How do I clean my Endorphin Azura trainers?
Clean using a soft brush and cold water with mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
What is the stack height and heel offset?
The Endorphin Azura has a stack height of 40mm at the heel and 32mm at the forefoot, resulting in an 8mm heel offset.
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
While the cushioning and speed features are beneficial for marathon distances, their primary design is as a versatile daily trainer. For ultra-marathon distances, a shoe with even greater durability might be preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Experiment with different tying techniques or consider the fit of socks. If the issue persists, check if a different size or width is needed.
Reduced cushioning or bounce over time
Ensure the shoes are not being overused or exposed to extreme conditions. Clean the shoes according to care instructions. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement after considerable mileage.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The XT-900 outsole provides good grip, but performance may vary on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean. For challenging wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for superior wet-weather traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. They are designed for running on roads and light trails and are compatible with most running apparel. To care for your Endorphin Azura trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For optimal longevity, consider rotating your running shoes with another pair to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
