    There's no one shoe. I bought the V2s as a daily. Then invested in the Saucony Pro 3 for faster pace runs. I never wore the pro 3 as i felt like a catwalk queen on my local park run. Didn't feel natural on the foot and i felt more propelled in the V2s. For me the velocity range is special. They've got that mix of comfort/firmness just right, While always feeling incredibly comfortable. Can't recommend enough.

    I did not like the Velocity 2, it was somewhat of a dull ride. I preferred the Deviate Nitro 2 as an allround daily trainer.

      @@rmjames83 Nah, it is the ride of the foam, as the Velocity Nitro has Nitro Elite foam under the forefoot and for me as a forefoot/midfoot striker, this made a big difference. The shoe just feels a lot more lively overall.

    Both are great and good prized!. I think you don't need nothing more if you are just a non elite runner. I would choose Velocity just for puma grip, it's much better than Asics solution

    Novablast 4 gets quite a lot of hate from novablast 3 lovers but I really can't fault it. It actually does get better the faster you run. Like a softer superblast. It's very comfortable as well and can just chuck it on and run no messing about with lace tension etc.

      I've picked up the Novablast 4, Superblast and Mach 6 in the last few days. Got some great deals at nearly 50% off in Thailand from Supersports with discount codes. Also bought the Speed 3 from RevRunner at 30% off. Once I find out which I like best I'll sell the others on ebay when I'm next back in the UK.

    Has to be the Glideride 3 right? Handles a wide variety of runs well. Novablast 3 was just a bit mushy. Can't see Novablast 4 being that much different. Asics have made a big mistake not release the Glideride 4.

      VN3 can turn out a bit thin for you. Definitely recommend to check Puma Magnify Nitro 2. I am also on the heavier side and can't love them more. Regular skinny runners enjoy it less because they can't get the most out of it. My feel is that PMN2 is just perfect for heavy runner. Neither too soft, neither too firm. Just perfect.

    New to the channel had no clue running was as big as it is I’d just hit the ground and run. I’ve only used Reebok since I recovered from a compounded broken leg. Now they have worked amazingly well, but after finding that shoes are built with massive cushion I thought this would be a great time to step out of my comfort zone. With that said what would be a good shoe to give a try? Great video by the way!

    Please, don´t compare Puma with asics. The velocity nitro is an ordinary shoe, it´s price is attractive, but asics is a first line brand . Try the evoride speed (not carbon plate) a nice daily multipurpose shoe.

      Some runners report that Novablast 4 feels very ordinary in comparison with Novablast 3. Responsiveness and fun are gone for N4.
