Puma Electrify Nitro 5

Puma Electrify Nitro 5 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size. The V5 widens the toe box slightly compared to the V4 and adds a wide-fit option, but remains a poor choice for wide feet.

Feel

Aliphatic TPU midsole with a solid balance between cushioning and responsiveness. The bounce feel is present but restrained; the V5's stock insole is softer and less responsive than the V4's — a change that divides runners.

Durability

Thicker PumaGrip outsole versus the V4 (approximately 5 mm lug depth). Consensus estimate: at least 500 miles / 800 km without structural issues.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy runs, recovery, threshold work, and parkruns. Suited to efforts up to 90 minutes; not ideal for long runs beyond that threshold given the modest stack (35 mm at the heel).

Weak points

Weight up roughly 20 g over the V4 due to a more padded tongue and thicker outsole. The stock insole is considered inadequate by some sources, who recommend swapping it for the V4's.
