Puma Fast-R NITRO Elite Full Review: One of the most interesting shoes of the year, but is it good?

  • The Puma Fast-R NITRO Elite is one of the most interesting-looking carbon plate race shoes to date. The split midsole is made of two different foams, a firmer EVA in the heel and the softer, bouncier NITRO Elite foam in the forefoot. That combination is designed to improve running stability and efficiency, working alongside the visible PWRPLATE that runs through the two sections.
    Tom and Nick have been testing the shoe out to see if the novel design delivers the goods.

    I got at 5k pb in these at parkrun recently (19.14) and a 20 minute marathon pb in Dublin last weekend. They just seem to work for me and are supremely comfortable 👍

      @R251400 Hi, I'm a bit of a running shoe buying addict, so have brought the Adidas Pro 3 and Endorphin Elite since then. I ran alot in them last year, so they are for my fast training runs now, but really look forward to wearing them still 👍

      @R251400 I'm finding the Adidas Pro 3's a bit clunky, much prefer the Fast-R's. The Endorphin Elite slightly lighter, which may give it the edge, but nothing in it really.

    I like the cushion over the deviate nitro elite. and agree that it's good for a long tempo and feel less beat up. Can't replace the VF for me. Wish I could return it.

    Having supershoes from the usual suspects Nike, Saucony and Asics, this is one I won't be investing in but a great review nonetheless!

    I’ve just brought a pair of these and I’m more than happy with them. I did a running session in them (around 10km of threshold) and I’m already discovering a bit of wear on the top of the shoe where the colour is flaking away. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions to avoid this. I’m considering getting some tape to line under where the wear is happening. Also, does anyone know how long these shoes take to break in??

    Did any of you experience any toe/forefoot pain while running in this? I picked it up, and immediately had quite severe toe pain underneath my foot where they attach, after a 5 mile test run. Never experienced that with my running before, so I'm thinking it's the shoe.. A shame as well, since I found it quite nice in terms of upper comfort, and bounciness. And what a radical look!
