Hi @supwell / Yowana, Thank you very much for your reviews. Two days ago, I purchased Puma Velocity Nitro 3 based on your review(well the 30% discount helped to make the decision too). I live in a country where rains 6 months per year. And I struggled to find a suitable shoes with the right outsole to not get injured when is heavy rain and water is everywhere. I'm used to have soaked shoes, it doesn't bother me but the sliding effect some shoes have during rain, can be dangerous. I am not that fast runner (8 min per mile half marathon). Long story short, I ran first 10 miles today morning. It was extremely heavy rain to the point that motorbikes were stopping to not get into accident. Yet the Pumas didn't slip once, I managed to equall my PB and it wasn't my aim. I will run a half marathon race next Saturday and I had my doubts if I can use the new shoes. But all doubts disappeared. There is something about these shoes. It seems like they whisper "we will be your best buddies for the next several hundred miles". 😊 Your reviews are real. Great job. Thank you very much.
Great review. The Puma Deviate Nitro 2 WTR is not waterproof but water repellent. I ordered a pair 2 months ago. It does keep the water out much longer than other non-repellent shoes but still lets some water through after a while (around 15 minutes in heavy rain). The good thing is that the shoe doesn't get soaked in water even in heavy rain.
That's good to know. Sounds similar to my triumph 21 runshield - I'll have to do a comparison with those two and throw in a goretex shoe to see how much better it is
I have the WTR Deviate Nitro 2. I feel they do a good job of keeping enough water at bay and feet warm on my winter runs. I like the fact that I also can pick up the pace in them.
i'm enjoying mine so far - battery life is the biggest upgrade. haven't charged since sunday AM and it's at 71%. apple watch would be at 71% by the time i was done making my coffee 😂
Back in the day, I'd buy two pairs of the same daily trainer, and alternate them every other day. The thought was that it gave the midsole a chance to expand, and the shoes last longer. With today's technology, is that still applicable? Thx
yes especially with softer foams like the profly+ in the mach 5 and fresh foam in the 1080, i've found that letting the shoe rest for a day or two helps it rebound - also increases the life of the shoe, especially in the case of the mach 5
Finally you got a proper running watch. Based on other reviews, the HRM on Coros isn’t that accurate, the Coros arm HRM strap monitor is highly recommended to pair along with the watch. Looking forward to the full review of the Puma tomorrow 👍
the apple watch was great for me for 3+ years of running - it's def a solid running option but i wanted to try something different. in terms of the heart rate monitor, i ran with a polar chest strap for a while but found the apple watch heart rate monitor was just as good as long as i had the watch fastened tight. from the 22 miler i did with both the coros and apple the heart rate data was almost identical which is a good sign for the coros (again, it just needs to be cranked tight). i don't love running with extra gadgets and am not married to heart rate training so will prob rock with the watch solo for now without the band. i still have the polar tho so maybe i can do a 3 way comparison - thanks for the idea!
Pace 3 is working real well for me. I charge it now and then whether it needs it or not - 7-10 days. I also got the COROS heart rate arm band and think it's a great companion for a little more reliability on the HR.
currently on day 3 without charging and it's on 79% 🤯 trying to see how long it can go without charging. and the heart rate has been decent so far - comparable to the apple watch which was really accurate for me. i don't love running with extra gadgets but i do have a polar chest strap lying around if i want a little more precision
Should’ve purchased the Garmin 965. I get at least 7 days on a full charge plus the display is beautiful. I do run with my Apple Watch for phone 📞 connection.
have heard good things about that as well! i wanted to try coros because i like how they're offering runners an option that significantly undercuts the market - the pace 3 is less than half the price of the 965 🤯 the display is one area that's lacking though, even compared to my three year old apple watch. i'll do an update/review once i have a few more days with it
I used my deviate nitro 2 for some soft trail and trail+road runs and the puma grip was awesome. The water resistant version (which i have) can handle just a bit of drizzling not proper rain 😬 Coros pace 3 top value for money 😁
thanks for the insight - that's disappointing! i wish these brands would just license goretex instead of making a halfway version. and i'm enjoying the pace 3 so far - can't believe the feature set it offers for the price
Does this mean you're almost done with your MBA (?) ? If so, congratulations. What a big obligation to be lifted from you. I find that I probably could have gone down 1/2 size in the Hyperion Max so maybe Brooks run roomy. Also, nice cinematic touches with the black & white for previous footage; the lacing up each day a la Mr. Rogers; and finishing with the cliffhanger.
More cushioning? I have a pair Brooks Hyperion Max (the David Goggins of shoes) and find they are great for for distances for up to 12miles. Not sure how they would compare to these, harder or softer?!
Great comparison - these are pretty similar in spirit to the Hyperion max but a tad softer. Also a little friendlier for relaxed running since the Hyperion max really punishes heel striking from that cutout

Overkill or commitment? I'll tell you what commitment is - running 22 miles on a freaking treadmill!! Don't know how you do it.
hahaha thanks joe. the miles aren't gonna run themselves ;)
love these vlog-type videos.
thank you!

that's nice to hear. everyone else who commented made me think it's like running in sandals 😂
@@supwell in a little bit I am going to run in -10 weather. Hopefully they do the trick there too.
Bought a cheap shoe dryer off amazon for after wet runs , game changer 👊
great idea
Well done, creative vid/idea and style.
thank you! 🙌🏽
Just got my Pace 3 about 2 months ago and absolutely LOVE it over my Apple Watch as well! Best watch I ever had :)

@@supwell Very good. I'm on the right track then. I don't wear the same shoe every day for that reason. Cheers.

Or better yet get a chest strap
@@JoutarouKuujou1 yes, thats even more accurate. May be an idea for a follow on video - measure accuracy between chest strap vs arm strap 😂😂😂

Diggin' those green 3/4 pants in the beginning of the video. What are they?
they are REI's trail joggers - i think they are supposed to be full length but i'm just tall 😂
Thank you for the info! I'm personally not tall at all so I probably won't get the same 3/4 look 😅
Don’t you do a shoe rotation? Let the shoe foam rest for a few days would help the run. 😂… look like your shoes are your babies !!! 😊
Think you missed the intention of this video
how do you dry / clean your shoes after a very heavy rain?
I will rinse the mud off and then put crumbled newspapers or brown paper bag from the grocery store inside. They'll be dry within 24 hours
👍
Just throw them in the drier haha
