FAQs
What is the main difference between the Endorphin Azura and other Endorphin models?

Who is the target runner for the Endorphin Azura?
It is designed for adult male runners looking for a lightweight, fast, and cushioned shoe for daily training, tempo runs, and even some racing on asphalt surfaces. It's ideal for neutral runners.
What type of surfaces are these shoes best for?
These trainers are optimized for asphalt and road running. They are not recommended for trail running or very uneven surfaces.
How much cushioning does the shoe offer?
The shoe features PWRRUN PB foam, which provides a soft and bouncy cushioning experience. The midsole height is 40mm at the heel and 32mm at the forefoot.
What is the weight of the Saucony Endorphin Azura?
The shoe weighs approximately 240 grams (for a men's US size 9), making it a lightweight option for faster running.
Does the shoe have a rock plate?

Can I use these for marathon running?
Yes, the cushioning and SpeedRoll technology make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a plated feel and a responsive ride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock or a wider lacing spread if the forefoot feels constrictive.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might impede the midsole. Over time, cushioning naturally reduces with mileage; consider replacement after significant wear.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The XT-900 rubber provides good grip, but all road shoes have limitations on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Reduce pace and exercise caution in such conditions.
