FAQs
Is the Endorphin Pro 5 suitable for everyday training?
The Endorphin Pro 5 is primarily designed for racing and speed work due to its aggressive geometry and advanced foams. For daily mileage, consider a more cushioned and durable trainer.
How does the carbon plate work?
The slotted carbon plate provides stiffness and helps to stabilize the midsole foam, enhancing propulsion and ensuring a more efficient energy return with each stride.
What is SpeedRoll Technology?
SpeedRoll technology is an advanced geometry that combines a rocker-like feel with a stiff plate to create a propulsive sensation, making it easier to maintain a faster pace.
How durable is the outsole?
The PWRTRAC rubber outsole is engineered for durability and grip. However, like all high-performance running shoes, longevity depends on mileage, running surface, and care.
Can I wear these shoes if I have wide feet?
The Endorphin Pro 5 has a performance-oriented fit which can be snug. While it offers some adaptability, runners with significantly wide feet might find it restrictive. Consider trying them on or looking for wide-fit options if available.
What is the main difference between PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, PEBA-based foam known for its high energy return and softness. Super Critical PWRRUN HG is a firmer, more responsive foam designed to provide a stable base and enhance the explosive feel when combined with PWRRUN PB.
How should I clean my Endorphin Pro 5 trainers?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or heat, as this can damage the shoe's components.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too firm during initial runs.
The advanced midsole foams and carbon plate require a break-in period. Aim for 5-10 miles of running to allow the shoe to adapt to your stride.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the PWRTRAC outsole offers good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal contact.
Upper feels restrictive.
Check lacing technique. Ensure you are not over-tightening. The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit, but minor adjustments can improve comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Endorphin Pro 5 is ready to race right out of the box. Ensure the fit is snug but not constricting. Lace them appropriately for your foot's comfort and security.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track surfaces. They are best suited for competitive running events.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps preserve the integrity of the foam and upper materials.
