FAQs
Are There Different PUMA Running Shoe Models Designed for Various Terrains and Running Styles?
Yes, there are. You’ll find a range of PUMA running shoes suited to varying terrain, including road, track, and trail. The included soles are designed with these different surfaces in mind, with rubber soles for road running, lugs for trail running, and spikes for running on proper track settings.
There are also running shoes suited to those who overpronate and varying heel-to-toe drops to support and promote different running styles, particularly heel, midfoot, and forefoot strikes. By catering to various terrains and running styles, chances are you’ll find a pair of comfortable running shoes ideally suited to your needs.
What Performance Advantages Does Puma’s NITRO™ Foam Bring to Runners?
PUMA’s NITRO™ foam is engineered for runners who want to go further and faster with less impact on their joints. This advanced nitrogen-injected foam delivers the perfect balance of lightweight cushioning, explosive energy, and comfort. It’s perfect if you want a smooth, springy feel whether you’re chasing a new PB or just hitting your daily run.
The nitrogen infusion process makes the foam ultra-responsive, meaning every stride feels snappy and efficient, propelling you forward with less energy wasted.
Which PUMA Running Shoes Are Best Suited for Long-Distance Training?
If you’re after consistent cushioning, impact protection, and energy return over the long haul, PUMA’s NITRO™ collection has the endurance-focused footwear to keep you going strong — kilometre after kilometre. Whether you're training for a marathon or just love racking up some time on your feet, our NITRO series is designed to give you excellent shock absorption and provide smooth heel to toe transition.
Pair these shoes with a running fit from PUMA and you’re all set for your long-distance run.
How Does PUMA Design Running Shoes Specifically for Australian Terrain?
Australian weather can shift fast — dry one minute, soaking wet the next. That’s why PUMA integrates PUMAGRIP and PUMAGRIP ATR outsoles into many of its shoes. These advanced rubber compounds deliver multi-surface traction, so whether you’re on wet pavement, loose gravel or slippery boardwalks, you’ve got the grip to stay steady. Long-distance is part of the Aussie running culture, and PUMA’s NITRO™ foam helps make those big runs feel smoother. Lightweight, cushioned, and responsive, it’s designed to handle everything from road races to trail training days, with reduced fatigue over time — no matter the elevation or terrain.
Australian summers can be unforgiving. With PUMA’s engineered mesh uppers and ventilation zones in our running shoes, you can expect to keep airflow up and heat down. This ensures your feet stay cool and dry — even during those peak midday sessions.
Are There PUMA Running Shoes Designed for Both Track and Trail?
Absolutely — because let’s be honest, your runs don’t always stick to one surface. Doesn’t matter if you’re smashing sprints on the track or veering off into a forest trail, PUMA’s got you covered with shoes that do both — without skipping a beat.
Our secret? PUMAGRIP ATR — a rugged rubber compound designed to grip everything from slick footpaths to rocky terrain. Whether you're running laps at your local oval or tearing through one of your favourite trails, you’ve got traction and durability that won’t quit.
Your shoes, paired with some training gear that’ll support you all through the run - you’re all set for a great day on the tracks.
What’s the Difference Between Neutral and Stability Running Shoes?
The difference comes down to how much support your foot needs during your stride.
Neutral shoes, like the Velocity NITRO™, are built for runners with a natural gait — offering lightweight cushioning and flexibility without added structure.
Stability shoes, like the ForeverRUN NITRO™, are designed for those who overpronate, featuring dual-density foam and a wider base to guide your foot into better alignment.
What’s the Difference Between Neutral and Stability Running Shoes at PUMA?
If you're chasing speed and looking to crush those interval sessions, PUMA’s got a lineup that delivers explosive energy, lightweight feel, and serious propulsion. Here's your go-to guide for the best picks available now in Australia:
Deviate NITRO™ Elite 3
This is PUMA’s top-tier carbon-plated racer — featherlight, ultra-responsive, and built for speed. With its aliphatic TPU midsole and PUMAGRIP outsole, it offers a snappy toe-off and reliable traction, even on light trails. Perfect for tempo runs, intervals, and race day domination.
Deviate NITRO™ 3
This versatile shoe brings race-day tech into your daily grind. The Deviate NITRO™ 3 features NITROFOAM™ for responsive cushioning and a carbon fibre PWRPLATE for propulsion. It's recommended for runners seeking a balance between comfort and speed during interval training.
What Role Does Heel-to-Toe Drop Play in Choosing a PUMA Running Shoe?
Heel-to-toe drop — the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot — plays a big role in how your stride feels and performs. With PUMA’s range of running shoes, the drop is designed to match your running style and goals. A higher drop (8–10mm), like in the Velocity NITRO™, shifts your weight forward, making it ideal for heel strikers and long-distance comfort. A lower drop (4–6mm), like in the Deviate NITRO™ Elite, encourages a more natural, midfoot strike that’s perfect for speed sessions and race day. It’s all about how you move — and finding the drop that helps you stay light, efficient, and in your rhythm. If you’d like to make sure your shoes fit perfectly, head into one of our stores to test the sizing before you make your purchase.
