The Pumaoutletmujersole unit in this shoe is made up of a combination of two foams: NITRO foam and ProFoam.
The NITRO foam is Puma’s own technology that increase responsiveness while giving a cushioned feel. Below that is an EVA-based ProFoam that adds to the cushioned feel on the ride.
While this isn’t as plush and soft as other max cushioned shoes, the feel of the shoe stands out.
On the bottom of the sole is a generous amount of Puma’s PUMAGRIP outsole. Many shoes these days seem to have cut down on the rubber outsole to save weight. This shoe doesn’t and it helps to increase the durability and traction of the shoe.
I had no concerns taking corners on wet roads at a tempo pace. The overall ride on this shoe is what makes this shoe stand out. Easy runs, tempo runs, and speed workouts all felt great on this shoe because the ride felt so good.
It really did feel like I was just floating by.
