I'm a Saucony guy as I've chosen this brand since I purchased the Ride 8. I've tested at the running track the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite (version 1) which are now on sale at £85 and they literally smoked my favourite shoes (Pro +), purchased spending £132. Please feel free to watch my video. Well done, Puma!

I bought the velocity nitro 2 about a month ago and haven't wanted to run in anything else. Puma seems to be smashing it out the park recently 👌

Ben you must have an amazing rotation man. I would love to see all the different shoes you use in one video. Great review as usual. 🙌

Thanks for the review. My Deviate Nitro 2 should arrive in the coming week and I'm really looking forward to it. Like others mentioned here, this will be my first Puma running experience. I have nearly 40 running shoes from the likes of Nike, Saucony, adidas, ASICS, Hoka, NB, and On for road running but Puma never entered my radar - until THIS! Seems like a winner and it will fit in just fine in my daily trainer rotation with the Novablast 3, Endorphin Speed 3, and Mach 5. One can never have too many running shoes! Haha

Fantastic review Ben, thanks for your work! I have used others shoes, but now i Am a Puma fan, with a Fast-R for races, the Deviate Nitro 2 for fast works and daily trainer and a Foreverun Nitro for long runs, and is a pleasure use all of then.

When I was younger and I could still play football I always wore Puma King's and I absolutely loved them. Now that I run I hadn't even considered Puma as a running shoes brand. A couple of weeks ago I got a pair of Puma Magnify Nitro as a winter running shoe and I have been so impressed. Very comfortable and easy to run in, and they have great grip for this horrible British winter weather that we get.

I've got the Velocity Nitro 2 and the Deviate Nitro 2. They are my most used training shoes. Both are quite special in that they can do everything quite well. I think you'd even could race all distances in the Deviate Nitro 2. I use Velocity Nitro 2 for easy , daily and tempo. I use Deviate Nitro 2 for treshold runs like 10x1000 meter and marathon workouts, my longest was 25 km with 16 km at marathon pace.

Have just bought the Deviate Nitro Elite and it’s so enjoyable to run in, feeling more natural than other super shoes but light and responsive and very comfortable. First Puma experience and really impressive and sounds like Nitro 2 one of the shoes of the year.

Hi Ben, Love your content, I got a pair of the Deviate Nitro 2s that arrived yesterday, felt amazing on the feet just out of the box walking around. Went for a run and absolutely blown away.. Seems an amazing shoe (albeit only 1 run in)

Thanks for the excellent review. After some research I got a pair of the velocity Nitro 2. I'm no fast runner by any stretch of the imagination, almost 60 years old so mostly just go and enjoy it. After 180 miles I'm certainly loving the pumas. Regarding Puma grip, it's so awesome and happy to trade that off with a few extra grams. I'll probably get those Deviate nitro 2 as they look a bit more stable and I'm a mild pronator. Pumas are so fun to run in, super versatile and that durability with already great pricing, what value! Love em. Thanks.. Rob

I’ll be trying the velocity nitro 2’s tomorrow for the first time and these are definitely on my radar too. Great review👍

I love my Puma running shoes. I have the Velocity Nitro for daily runs and the Liberate Nitro for tempo and interval work. Puma has really improved a lot. The Deviate Nitro 2 is next on my shopping list for sure.

Your running form is close to perfect. I made a few adjustments to my form after seeing yours. Thanks

I tried several brands of running shoes but always had plantar injuries repeatedly, and was able to recover from the plantar and run comfortably until now with Puma running shoes VN1 and DN2 ❤❤

Brilliant review Ben! I’ll be buying these. Absolutely love my Forever Runs. Looking forward to your shirt and hats arriving in Australia 👍

Version one was super .. look down was the only weak point but running feelings super ..now i bought version 2 and is my shoe ...I hope puma will go ahead with this version no need of changing a single detail of this version tks for your reviews ciao Luca

Honest review as always Ben 👍🏻

Great review, always forget about Puma... may have to pick some up!!

I tried a pair of these at a Puma taster event and was not expecting them to be so good. Think this review confirms that these will be the next pair of shoes I buy 👍🏻

Puma DN2 is just beast.. my feet just feel plushed in my first try and really fit super well. They are tight but fingers still can move freely and no numbs even in long run. Great shoes from Puma.

I put 375 miles on my first pair of the deviate and now have 175 miles on my second pair. I really like them but they are hard to find in running stores here in Minneapolis. The puma grip is great for the slippery roads where I run….fall leaves, rain and soon snow.

Loving my velocity nitro 2s 👍 finding it hard to put my feet in anything else at the moment as it just works 😁

Using the OG Deviate, nothing but praise. I have about 700km on them, and they probably have 200km left. On the bad side, I cannot bring myself to do anything, except recovery runs, without them. I am addicted.

I was looking for a shoe to use for my quicker paced work but also something that I could do easy miles before and after in so no faffing about changing shoes so when you reviewed these a few weeks ago I checked then out, found them on line for just over £90 in my size so hit the button, buy now ! . 3 weeks and half a dozen runs later, be it marathon pace long runs or speed play they do work. I'm tempted to get a second pair so thank you Ben. Ian

planning to buy deviate nitro 2 and use it as the shoe for Tempo runs and for Raceday pace runs in my HM training program , In combination with peg 38 - where peg 38 will be the recovery and long easy run shoe

I have the Puma velocity nitro and they work well for my easy miles.

Hi Ben. Am running my 1st London Marathon with a charity place in 2023. Am looking to follow your advanced plan having run a 3.19 marathon in 2019 am looking to push for that 3 hour marathon. Budget is always key but am now looking at the puma or saucony as next price bracket from the Nike alphafly or vaporfly. Let me know your thoughts as never used carbon plated shoes. Thanks

while i’ve never tried a puma shoe, i sure do like their brand and think their logo looks neat :D

Hello Ben! Regarding these Puma's, would you say this is has the characteristics to perform well in events that mix running with exercises like a Hyrox?

Back when I played football as my main sport, I loved Puma boots/trainers, but as a result I have a very strong association between them and football and it is taking me a while to consider them for running shoes. I've heard a lot of positive things recently though, so you've just provided another possible exit route out of my wallet for my hard-earned cash!

Thanks for the video. I'm looking for some advice. I've been running on the cumulus 24 as my daily trainer. I use that for distances from 10k to 15k, usually at easyto medium paces. I'm looking for a 2nd pair in my rotation with a bit more responsive ride as a daily trainer. Am heavily contemplating the deviate nitro 2. Went to test it out and it feels good but one concern that I had was that I felt my feet tilting a little inward as i land as compared to the usual flat landing that i feel with my cumulus 24. Is that feeling normal for this shoe and is it okay? A 2nd alternative im looking at is the forever run nitro.

Thanks for the review, sounds really interesting and also 30 bucks cheaper than the Endorphin speed 3. Is it a full Nitro Elite midsole or does it have "regular" Nitro foam (in the heel)?

@benparkestheextramile

Жыл бұрын

Regular in the heal.. in the white bit.

Love puma shoes. It takes a lot for me to run in anything else now. I have basically retired all the non-puma shoes I have owned. The SC trainer gets the occasional run and the rebel V2 is similar. But I find myself lacing up the deviate 2 and the velocity 2 for most of my miles. Magnify is the only shoe I don't really love in the range honestly

Would this be a good gym to running shoe as it can do it all and stable?

I really like puma liberate nitro and deviate nitro elite. I hate the fast-r. I would like to try the deviate nitro 2, but not sure if I want a plate in a training shoe.

honestly buy both the deviate nitro 2 and speed 3 if you have the money. Just use the one you feel like using. Maybe the speed 3 in the summer, late spring and early autumn and the puma in the winter.

Have you tried the waterproof version? Weatherised?

These and the velocity 2 are great trainers. I’m interested to know if anyone has run in the puma fast trac nitro trail shoe as this could complete my rotation?

Is that t-shirt first in Km and then in Miles? It does look nice though

Just grabbed a pair.✌️

If you only have 1, which would you choose between this shoe and the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3?

DN2 pair it with VN3 is my best rotation for me amazing and the shoes is durable like tank lol

Can’t find this colour way anywhere 😔 I want it 😢

Is the color way only available in WIDE? I can’t find it anywhere in normal width

I would switch brand loyalty to Puma but have one concern. I’m size 11.5 uk but Puma are either size 11 or 12. I’m dubious about sizing up or down and visited a Puma store (could feel an 11 wrap to my big toe but had heel slippage in a 12). Unsure if I take the plunge with an 11… My view is they may stable, well thought through shoes with better grip than most other brands. I notice Puma also comes off as a nearly brand. It’s “nearly as good as” a Saucony or maybe an ASICS/Adidas yet it’s nearly always better value.

This is by far my favorite Shoe of 2022…..!

How do these compare to the elite version

Ciao Da Milano. Ottima recensione ben spiegato e molto utile. Per i miei allenamenti di qualità ero indeciso tra queste Puma Deviate nitro 2 o le SAUCONY ENDORPHIN SPEED 3...alla fine(oggi) Ho comprato le Puma. Secondo te durano 500km? Grazie in anticipo per la risposta

Is it okay to run with this on my race day? I can't afford to buy super shoes since they are expensive and not durable.

I have had the chance to try the Deviate Nitro Elite Racer (very similar to the Deviate 2 but lighter with a thinner upper) and I was quite surprised at how different it feels compared to the Vaporfly even if they are both plated. Puma are doing a good job this year.

They don't for me. As a guide, I'm US8.5 in these. Fits exactly the same in almost every way as my US8.5 endorphin speed 1 and pro 1. My novablast 3 is slightly long at the same size. NB More V4 sits in between DN2 and NB3 for length, but has a wider fit. I've got a slightly wide foot. DN2, like the ES1 and NB3, was a little tight and needed a few runs before feeling just fine.

compared to Novablast 3 1. which one is better overall? 2. also for walking or casual use which one is better? * I noticed you wear the smartwatch above the gloves, did it really track the heartrate accurately since it was not on contact with the skin? thanks for the great video

One of the worst shoes of 2022. The shoe feels like a brick, and the upper runs way too hot in humid conditions.

Pumas are trash. Budget shoes at a premium price. Should be called a cool looking Skechers. Grip is good, but way too thick causing shoes to be heavy as bricks. Not a good buy

I hate plate shoes

Just bought v2 today. Version 1 was good (I've had no ankle issues at all) and I'm expecting v2 to be better. Puma is capable of releasing pretty solid shoes (Ignite 300 was a favourite) and the nitro line is great: nice midsole and TOP outsole. Love running in the Liberate nitro to the point I've bought 4 pairs.
