Who should buy zapatillas de running puma Grey minimalistas talla 40.5 verdes
We found that this shoe can be perfect for you whether you are a beginner or an expert, do easy runs or prepare for races, and are looking for something that doesn’t compromise on comfort, traction, and durability. If, in addition to this, you’re a “one-shoe runner,” then this is one of the best choices you can get.
puma Grey пуховик оригинал 100
We don’t recommend getting it if you:
- want a faster and lighter shoe. Check out the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 instead
- you need a broader choice when it comes to colors. puma Grey Velocity Nitro is available in 6 different tones.
zapatillas de running puma Grey minimalistas talla 40.5 verdes vs. Nitro 1
There have been a few important changes from the previous version. The Nitro 2 has an updated, more comfortable upper, and a softer midsole, which we believe is a vast improvement.
Top-quality upper
The shoe's upper looks premium and feels comfortable.
Based on our smoke test results, it is also a breathable shoe. On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the most breathable, we rated it as 4.
puma Grey Deviate Nitro 2 (left): as you can see, the smoke comes out easily from the shoe; Adidas Runfalcon (right): the smoke coming out is not much and only from the tongue area.
We also checked how transparent the upper material is. As you can see, it is extremely well-perforated with plenty of light shining through the fabric.
Meanwhile, the shoe's upper also sees plenty of padding, especially around the heel collar, which appears to be both more comfortable and more durable than the original. Blisters are not familiar with this shoe!
We also found that the heel counter is not stiff at all. It scored 2 out of 5, where 1 is the most flexible.
Ride is great in the zapatillas de running puma Grey minimalistas talla 40.5 verdes
We found that the shoe's carbon plate feels less aggressive compared to other Мужские кроссовки puma Grey в Мариуполе. The latter can be on the one hand more exciting, but on the other hand, they are not as comfortable as this shoe is.
But that doesn't minimize the fact that the Deviate Nitro 2 is still very responsive and provides a nice spring-off. Overall, the shoe provides a smooth and buttery ride.

We used a durometer to test the midsole at the heel and found out that it is 50% softer than the average. Even after 20 minutes in the freezer (to simulate cold weather conditions) the foam remained 15.6% softer than most running shoes.
According to our test, the Nitro 2 is 19% softer than the previous version, confirming what runners said.
Traction is just amazing
Красная кофта спортивная puma Grey ferrari puma Grey running shoe is the outsole, which is excellent in any condition, even on some easy trails. The PUMAGRIP has once again stood up to its reputation.
The shoe uses PUMAGRIP ATR for the outsole meaning that this rubber can handle multiple types of terrain. We found this to be true be it on wet roads, fallen leaves, and light trails.
What's more, we found it to be a very well-crafted and durable outsole.
Measured with a caliper, the outsole turned out to be 3.7 mm, just slightly thicker than the average (3.5 mm).
zapatillas de running puma Grey constitución ligera azules | Cushioned, but not too noble
The Deviate Nitro 2 has a forefoot stack height of 26.1 mm, and a heel stack height of 31.7 mm. The average stack has been increasing in recent years and sits now around 33.5 mm, with many shoes going as high as 40 mm and even more than that.
That way, the Deviate Nitro 2 has an average amount of cushioning for a road running shoe.

Looking at the difference in stack heights, we have a drop of 5.6 mm, just a bit lower than the 6 mm officially ESS by the brand. Drops from 5 to 8 mm can be considered mid-range.
The rear sole has puma Grey logo pattern.
One shoe for every day out
The Deviate Nitro 2 must be one of the most versatile running shoes we've tested this year (2022)! It’s amazing on easy days, uptempo work, and long runs too. It's a well-rounded workhorse!
Deviate Nitro 2 hugs the foot perfectly
The shoe offers an excellent spot-on fit and we experienced no issues in this department.
In its widest part, we measured the toebox at 96.3 mm which is considered medium width. At the big toe (see photo below), we also found that the Deviate Nitro 2 falls into the average width at 75 mm.
Look elsewhere if you need a flexible shoe
Because of the carbon plate, it is quite expected that this puma Grey shoe would be on the stiffer end of shoes. Measuring its resistance with a force gauge, it took 50% more force than average to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle.
But compared to other plated road shoes, the Deviate Nitro 2 turns out to be 7% more flexible.
In the test you can see below, we subjectively measured longitudinal and torsional flexibility. The first scored 4 (very rigid), while the latter scored 3 (moderately stiff).

With a weight of 9.1 oz (257g), this shoe is not as light as other competitors in the same category (average weight: 8 oz/227g). We could definitely feel the extra ounce when picking up the pace or when attempting a longer run.
zapatillas de running puma Grey minimalistas talla 40.5 verdes is stable
For a shoe of its kind, wobbliness is rather common. But we experienced no problems in this department! During our tests, the Deviate Nitro 2 remained stable at both fast and slow paces.
The width of the sole can affect stability. In this case, the shoe has a width of 92.3 mm at the heel, which is wider than the average by 2 mm. This might have contributed to the overall stable feel.

The Deviate Nitro 2 sports two different reflective elements: one at the forefoot and another one, very large, positioned at the heel. This makes the shoe visible at night.

Plated running shoes are usually very expensive, but it’s not the case with the Deviate Nitro 2, which is sold at a reasonable $160. Considering what it offers, that’s a great price point.
The average price of shoes in this category is $209.
