Running in Puma: what to expect

Puma designs its running shoes mainly for the road, with neutral models across the board. They come in men's, women's, and especially unisex versions, which broadens the size options. The drop filter shows classic values, suitable for runners who don’t want to transition to a flatter stride. A beginner will find a comfortable pair for their first outings, a regular runner will have a training shoe, and someone who alternates between road and trails will have a model designed for paths.

Velocity Nitro, the all-round training shoe

Velocity Nitro is made for everyday training. It suits both easy runs and long outings, as well as a bit faster sessions, making it a good first pair for a regular runner. If you're preparing for a road race, this is the model to try first at Puma, as it handles both pace sessions and long weekend runs well. The Nitro family also includes Nitro Electrify, which is more accessible, and Fast-Trac Nitro, designed for trails.

Softride Carson and comfort models

The Softride Carson focuses on everyday comfort: short runs, brisk walking, long days on your feet. They are suitable for the occasional runner looking for a soft and easy-to-wear shoe, with no time goal in mind. They also serve as recovery shoes, to slip on after a tougher session, or as an extra pair for days when you walk more than you run. Pounce Lite, Dasher, and Maxima complete the brand's selection.
