I own the Deviate Nitro 2 and I absolutely love it. I‘ve tried many other shoes and was never happy. Tried the Deviate Nitro 2 and it has been amazing from the beginning! I even got a second pair😋

Been an out and out saucony fan in recent years but was tempted by the forever run nitro after good reviews ( yours included ) and been reaching for them virtually every run since they arrived a month ago. Fantastic. So good in fact my heads been turned in the Puma direction and an all white pair of deviate nitro 2 has just arrived on my doorstep. Can’t wait ! Great work as always Ed 👍

Ran in the Deviate Nitro 2 for my first half marathon since sidelined for months. It was perfect for me. Trained in the Velocity and other shoes, but kept coming back to Puma. Plan to race a road mile in the Deviate soon. I’m not the fastest cat out there, but I’m not the slowest and this shoe really purrs for me.🐈⬛🐈⬛

Hard to beat the deviate on some big deals recently.
As a 1.88m and 86kg runner the Puma deviate nitro 2 is soft, bouncy and a little bit wobbly at slower pace. At faster speed and intervals the shoe is coming to life and gives a more stable landing and effortless propulsion. I'm really liking it after 4 runs

Awesome review of Puma lineup, Mrs. Budd knows what to get you for your birthday! I think there's also a curved vs flat shaped difference between the plates of DN2 and Elite version? Training vs racing feature....
@EDDBUD
Жыл бұрын
Little bit more curved in the elite. As you say probably a differentiation between training and racing.
Puma "evolution" with their nitro lineups really in the right direction! Even better than the current ASICS (d)evolution; I'm a long term ASICS fan FWIW. As a wide footed runner, before this I was never able to use Puma shoes as it was narrow. Currently I enjoyed deviate nitro 2 so much. It's fast, grippy, and surprisingly versatile for plated shoes! Fast enough for the race day, specifically when the weather and terrain is not ideal. Although I have to skip the first eye lace due to my wide foot. I hope to try another lineup in the future and hope they come out with wide cutting. Additionally as always, thanks for mentioning a very valid observation on the strange medial arc support on Adidas shoes. I have to avoid Adidas because of this. I realised it started that strange on Adiós 5. But I heard the Adiós 8 is not as pronounced, I'm yet to try, can you help to confirm that?

Sounds odd but remaining consistent is key. I mean in the build up to race day. Look for the times and prepare appropriately with your schedule. In other words know when it’s needed. 🤣👍🏼
I have the lineup but I do have to pick and choose them for specific uses..the magnify is way too hot for anything except serious winter use..it's my snow shoe..the velocity is a good short intervals dirt track sprinter..the nitro elite is a good 5-10k buffed out trail..not enough cushioning for serious racing on pavement..the fastR is the best fitting shoe I own..the cushioning is just enough for 5k..only the Mizuno Pro is all out 5k faster,but nowhere as stable nor fits as well..puma is definitely bringing their A game and I especially like the comfort levels in the uppers..

So many shoes to choose from. Wondering what speed distance etc you put in diverse categories. 🙂 Daily trainers, slow to medium pace, longer runs, fast etc . After a 20 years break i have started running agsin two months ago. Waight ~90 kg, so I have to look out for my knees here in the start. I got a pair og nimbus 25. I run 9km in 60 minutes, about every other day. Would the Deviate Nitro 2 be a additional shoe/replacement. Wondering what would be a good choice

I think you're not alone. I have to half size up for the VN2 from DN2. Although due to the width. Hence the VN2 was a bit too long so I didn't get it. Quite odd given the DN2 should be more race "ready" shoes.
Please don't get me wrong. I believe Puma did a very good job with the Deviate Nitro Elite (tested by me at the running track). In theory, the Fast-R should be the top super-shoes and, despite that, they did use EVA foam in the posterior part of the midsole. Well, considering the energy return and durability of this type of foam, this is very disappointing, considering the price.

@@EDDBUD They used EVA foam on purpose, because they claim you have more stability on the heel strike phase. Regarding the Nitro infused foam, after been using the Deviate Nitro Elite for 200km, I can tell you that for the top super-shoes it wouldn't be right. I would make the heel glueing the PEBA foam (like in the Saucony Pro 1/2/3), or with a double layer (one softer, one firmer), like in the On Cloudboom Echo 3. My 2 pennies. 😉
