Puma Velocity NITRO 2

The original Puma Velocity Nitro was great except for a bit of a sloppy fit, especially in the heel. Puma fixed this on the Velocity Nitro 2, making the somewhat snug fit better for days when you want to pick up the pace or even hit the track. There is still enough cushioning for all of your daily miles, but not so much that it will get in the way of quicker paces. If you can only have one shoe in your shoe quiver or you just want that one sort of default shoe that you can always rely on, the Puma Velocity Nitro 2 will be a perfect fit (pun intended).

The reason I bought these shoes was the price, but now think that they'd still be a great choice even if they weren't such great value.

The start of the show is the dual density midsole, with Puma's Nitro foam on top and an Eva later at the bottom. This combination gives comfort and responsiveness that is entirely unexpected at this price range.

But the rest of the shoe isn't bad at all either (which in British English means it's actually very good): the outsole has the excellent Pumagrip rubber that grips really well on wet road and will have no issue in buffed/light trails, and the upper is comfortable and very clearly of good quality - expect these shoes to last for a long while.

The only downside, for my type of feet is that the shoe runs narrow and long, but that is just a personal fit thing.

If you are looking for a durable, quality daily trainer, with tons of character recommend that you do check it out.

The puma velocity nitro 2's are now by go to shoe for easy miles. They fit like a glove, feel super smooth for easy miles, and have a great grip for slippery days as well. I am a big fan of these shoes as they feel light and comfortable. I would classify them as leaning toward firm on a soft to firm scale, but pretty much in the middle. 

For extra context, most of my easy runs are zone 2, anywhere from 5-10 miles, between 7:45 and 8:30 pace. These shoes just work for me...they feel great and look great.

Bought the nitro because I had never run in Pumas before and I was curious to try them out. The lower price tag in comparison to other daily trainers helped as well. I've put around 150 miles on them and so far they are very enjoyable to run in. They fit nicely to the foot, feel lightweight, and perform well when picking up the pace. The only thing I would knock them for is not having a ton of cushion, although the shoe really isn't supposed to be a super cushioned daily, rather a lighter daily/workout shoe. Excited to try out more pumas in the future!

Put 400+  miles in the several pairs of the first version.   The second edition fit more true to size and was generally more comfortable, but a little too soft in the midsole for my liking.  

This is the perfect long run shoe. Lots of cushioning while still providing a little bit of spring. It took one or two runs to feel the responsiveness, but it’s there and I love it. 

Being in the market for a new all around trainer for my non workout days (easy runs around 7:05-7:30), I was looking for something different than my last Ghost Brooks.

I have noticed in the last few months a lot of noise around the PUMA shoes and have seen many people wearing them at races. I was willing to give them a  try and recently  purchased a pair of Velocity Nitro 2. 

I have put so far a 100 miles on the pair and it's been a fanstastic ride. The shoe is very supportive, has a lot of caution and great grip. PUMA offers the shoe in a wide array of colors as well.
