Puma Maxima Pro review: what runners say
Fit
True to size. Version 2 is slightly wider in the toe box than the first, suitable for medium or wide feet; runners with narrow feet may find excess room.
Feel
Generous cushioning with Nitro foam that maintains a lively response even after 100 miles. Forward roll is smooth without being aggressive.
Durability
Puma claims 500 miles; the foam holds up well through 100 tested miles. Some runners report more pronounced outsole wear at the outer heel and forefoot area compared to Puma standards.
Best for
Long-run and easy mileage accumulation shoe. Well-suited for heavier runners or those seeking extended comfort during marathon training. Not a tempo shoe.
Weak points
Possible upper overheating in warm weather. Reduced stability on corners due to the absence of a full outsole. Price perceived as high relative to direct competitors.
