Very good shoe, i ran my best marathon yesterday in these, the collar needs work though, it digs into the Achilles. Plenty cushion, the tight forefoot is now adequate after 165km, I'll probably run Comrades marathon in it next month (caveat- slow runner's viewpoint)
Here in the Philippines puma running is not that popular. Still Nike and Adidas are the dominating brand. People don't know what they're missing. I have the deviate nitro 2 and the elites. I enjoy both. Deviate for tempo runs and the elites I mainly use for my brick training. Running off the bike with them is very easy. And I totally agree that they're "fun" shoes. Great video fordy more power 👊🏽
Love Puma!!! I have the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. My question is: is the Deviate Nitro 2 Elite much different than the Deviate Nitro 2. Other than the colorway and the larger Puma logo, these shoes look identical to each other, top to bottom.
Hello Fordy! I'm looking to buy these as I mainly run 10k races but what would be your shoe choice for a half marathon run? (as I'm looking to increase my running distance in the future). Thanks!
Was that the Puma Fast Fwd Nitro elite that you put in the screen for a second or two there Fordy? I've not seen much reviews of them and they have been out for a while now, £200 is quite a scary price for a 5-10k racer though. Quite the gamble on little info although I do like the look of them.
You mentioned that these are good for 5k, 10k, and HM. How do these compare to the Nike Streakfly? The Streakflys is what I currently use for my 5k and 10k faster runs
Love the vid Fordy. I'm addicted to parkrun and fairly early in my journey (about 40 done), but looking for a shoe to push me on a little bit. Done about 100km in my Adios 6 so far, and looking at either the DNE 2 or Takumi 8/9 as a next step. Any advice? Adios has a lot of life left in it, so perhaps I hold onto them for a bit longer, especially until my times plateau!
Definitely the Takumi 8 or 9 for Park Run as they will last forever doing park runs. They have enough lightstrike pro midsole cushioning go 5k, 10k or half marathon distance if you needed to but they are slightly lower stacked so are more nibble for more turny courses like a lot of park runs are. The grip is pretty good as well. I felt the puma V1 lacked the push off and punch to be a good race shoe, I felt you had to really put in more just to get the same results as other shoes at easier efforts. Doesn't sound like the V2 has changed much either. Decent enough shoe but not a top race day shoe but priced up that end anyway.
@@scottfinlayson8920 thanks Scott this is really helpful. As it happens, it looks like the Takumi 8 is slightly cheaper in my size, and looks almost identical to the 9.
Yeah think there is only an upper difference between the 8 and the 9 so if you can get a good price on the 8's then it's worth while just going with them as the upper on them caused me no trouble at all. Only thing I done was change out the laces for another pair I had and the lock down was top notch after that.
I have 2 pairs of the first version. If only there was more heel stability, that would be a perfect training shoe. Maybe the best. Plus, it's very fast, I like the geometry. It's not too aggressive, therefore good for training. If only these shoes were more stable in the heel, I know I'm repeating myself. The price is fantastic. When I see all the EVA crap that is priced 160 € and more, and the first version of this shoe could be found for much less, oh man. If you are runner, you have to be dumb not to get 1 pair of these with such discount. Even more in the UK where it is even much cheaper than on the old continent.

I wouldn’t run a marathon in these but massive kudos
So did my half marathon in these ran it in 1:33 with about 7 min mile and legs felt AWESOME
Congrats
V1 has been a revelation for fast club runs and parkrun’s, and as you say, it’s just a really fun shoe. Phenomenal shoe for the money.
Is the V1 true to size? I'm a uk8 in endo speeds
@@davidpage8147 they are for me, same size as I wear in all running shoes.
@@stevecolders thanks fella, just ordered a pair👍

@erinbanana I only have the elite v1 and deviate nitro 2s. If you want a lil room on the toebox then I suggest go for the deviate nitro 2.
@erinbanana go for them. Those are so versitile. Easy,tempo,long runs.. can do it all. I have the fast-r nitro elite but haven't yet to try them.
Had to laugh at the comment ‘unless you’re watching from Peru’ as I sat here in Lima watching this
🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant
Good to hear. I have V1 and love them.
Fab shoe
What's the difference between the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 & Deviate Nitro Elite 2?
+1
Puma are a top brand for me 👍🏻
Yes they are
Puma font de très bonne chaussures Running. J’ai la foreverrunner. Elle est super. Merci pour les informations.
I love these shoes so much!!!!!
Yep they are great
These are on the shortlist to replace my Speed 2’s as a speedwork/interval shoe.
Would you recommend anything else out there for speed/interval work?
Love Puma!!! I have the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. My question is: is the Deviate Nitro 2 Elite much different than the Deviate Nitro 2. Other than the colorway and the larger Puma logo, these shoes look identical to each other, top to bottom.
Yes much faster feeling
This Puma or floatride energy x for daily training ?
ok True to Size. Puma does not seem to offer larger half sizes so I would need to half size up or down from my traditional size of 12.5.
Yep TTS
@@FordyRuns main reason I have been able to purchase Puma shoes, it will either be too big or small.
Still not available in Romania :)). I am sure a Puma rep is watching. So I would like a point of view from them.

I’ll be doing something in them soon
Good stuff. I'll look forward to that then.
How does this shoe compare to the regular deviate nitro 2?
Much better for faster stuff

these are better

running my half marathon on sunday in these.
Good luck
@@FordyRuns thanks!
Not strictly running but I moved my football boots to Puma a decade ago and never looked back. Their fit and build quality are great and last for ages
I have 2 pairs of the first version.

@@FordyRuns Thank you 💙👍
Bucko r they good bloke
Literally emailed Start fitness yesterday begging them to get some bigger sizes of these. This video timing is taunting me now 😂
🤣

Pumas never been king, poor man’s NB
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good morning. Thanks for this information about the Puma 2023. Like to Fordy. Have a great monday. 🌤️🏃🌞
Thank you
