The trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white is a pretty comfortable shoe. Right out of the box it had a very natural, supple feel to it.

The only complaint I have about comfort is that Viz Runner runs a little hot. It being winter, that is not a problem, but in the summer months to come I imagine it will be.

The Viz Runner has a constricting fit

The toe box of the trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white runs on the narrow side. I find it to be a little restrictive when using the shoe to run in.  If you have wide feet and need more room, the trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white is probably not for you if you are planning to use the shoe as a dedicated running shoe.

Good heel cushion but lacking in the forefoot

The EVA heel pod of the trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white provides a good source of cushion that heel strikers will like. The forefoot and midfoot lack in cushion, which was a disappointing feature for this reviewer. I am not always fresh enough to be up on the balls of my feet, but when I am I appreciate a little more cushion than the Viz Runner provided.

The styling of the trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white is reminiscent more of a basketball shoe or court shoe, and that´s also where I think this shoe really belongs. The solid white model that I tested is a little bright for my tastes but PUMA does offer some other colorways. Overall, the style is simple and without a tonne of bells and whistles.

Experience a solid lock down

The lace cage of the trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white is well designed and gives the shoe a solid locked down feeling. One criticism I had was of the tongue and that it is a little overstuffed and bulky. I like the lateral stability that the lockdown of the shoe provides. 

Superb grip

It is always nice to have a shoe that you can forget about slipping with. The shoe cornered well, especially on the court, and the grip of the soul is superb for court surfaces and treadmill tracks alike. I felt very secure in all of my workouts.

Puma Rs-X Winterized 370522 06 | Could be better ventilated

My one big criticism of this shoe is that it could stand to be a little better ventilated. The sidewall does offer some ventilation holes but overall the shoe is pretty closed down. The solid construction of the faux leather upper does little to aerate the foot. These all add up to the shoe running just a little warm for my liking.

At 8.8oz/250g, the trainers puma kyron wild beasts 373041 03 aqua gray puma white is pretty light and it shows. I never felt bogged down in this shoe. The lightness of the PUMA makes it a good bet for long days of cross training or hard gym sessions.
