FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Endorphin Pro 5?
The main advantage is its ability to provide explosive propulsion and smooth, efficient transitions, helping runners achieve faster times on race day.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday training?
While durable, the Endorphin Pro 5 is primarily engineered for racing and speed work due to its aggressive geometry and firm, responsive ride. It may be too intense for daily easy runs.
How does the carbon plate help?
The slotted carbon plate works with the SpeedRoll technology to enhance stiffness and energy return, promoting a faster, more propulsive toe-off.
What is SpeedRoll technology?
SpeedRoll technology is an ergonomic design that creates a feeling of rolling forward, making each stride feel easier and faster.
How do I clean the shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing or drying. Air dry naturally.
What kind of surfaces are these shoes best for?
They are best suited for road running and track surfaces. The PWRTRAC outsole provides grip on these typical race and training environments.
How does the midsole cushioning feel?
The midsole features a combination of PWRRUN PB and Super Critical PWRRUN HG, offering a firm yet highly responsive and energetic feel designed for speed.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with performance shoes. Wear them for short, easy runs first to break them in and allow your feet to adapt to the new geometry and cushioning.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the PWRTRAC outsole offers good grip, wet conditions can always reduce traction. Run with caution and be mindful of your footing.
Unusual noise from the shoe
Sometimes, small pebbles can get trapped in the outsole grooves. Check the outsole and clean if necessary. If the noise persists and is concerning, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for road running and track surfaces. They are compatible with most standard running socks. No electronic or software compatibility is required.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the 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. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
