FAQs
What is the main difference between the Endorphin Azura and other daily trainers?
The Endorphin Azura stands out with its specific blend of PWRRUN PB foam for a soft yet bouncy feel and SpeedRoll technology for enhanced transitions, aiming for a faster sensation on daily runs compared to more traditional, softer trainers.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Endorphin Azura can be used for marathon running due to their cushioning and efficient ride. They are designed as a high-performance daily trainer that can also handle longer distances effectively.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they might handle very light, well-maintained trails, their outsole and construction are optimized for pavement and harder surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug in the heel and midfoot without being constrictive, and allow for slight foot swelling during runs.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan typically depends on factors like mileage, running surface, and individual biomechanics. Generally, running shoes are recommended for replacement between 300-500 miles (480-800 km) when the cushioning and support begin to degrade.
Do these shoes have a carbon plate?
No, the Endorphin Azura is designed to offer a super foam experience without a plate, positioning it in the Fast & Light category.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit around your foot. Wear appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, consider socks with targeted cushioning or consult with a running shoe specialist.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This is a natural part of wear. The PWRRUN PB foam may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat when drying or storing, as this can accelerate material degradation. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the XT-900 rubber provides durable traction, extremely wet or slippery conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For challenging wet conditions, exercise caution and consider shoes with deeper lugs if needed.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the 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 the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
