I reach for these shoes so much and I have loads of different ones. Comfortable and can pick up the pace for faster training sessions. Puma grip is second to none and these shoes are great value, always discounted if you shop around.
@UltraTrailSteven Glad to hear your response Steven. In the last 12 months, I have been trying Brooks andreline 22, NEWBALANCE solvi and salomon. I am yet to find my satisfaction, All I need something not heavy cushion but more closer to the ground so I can feel it and walk long distance.. Pls suggest.. Thanks
I ran a 10k in these at a Puma event for the first time last Saturday. I got a PR. Saying that, I agree in hoping the foam to loosen up over the next few miles. My Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 definitely feel faster, but Puma grip is amazing.
Interesting that this competes with the Endorphin Speed -heavier, but far superior grip.... With a better price I think it's definitely worth a try. Thanks Steven!
this shoe for me is way better than endorphin line because i can actually take it out in the pouring rain and not slip. or i can take it out in ice and snow which i have done. More companies need to provide better OUTSOLES. Looking at Saucony and asics
I just ordered these but the WTR edition. Winter, apparently. For context, I live in finland and 70% of the year it’s winter. Due to global warming, the snow has been melting quite rapidly the last couple of years which means there’s a lot of slushy ice everywhere. Figured the WTR editions would serve well for these situations. Although, I’m a tad bit worried about their breathablity. Couldn’t find any reviews anywhere across the internet that spoke about that. So, fingers crossed.
Great review. Clear and so informative. I love my Deviate 2. Quick and so responsive. Question: I want to hear more about the Magnify Nitro 2 coming in July. Will you be reviewing that model too? No plate but very cushioned. Oh plus, it looks fabulous.
Just bought myself these pair of shoes dn2 for 85$ here in malaysia, the fitting a bit a bit tight for me maybe to blame my wide feet, im trying my usual 27cm still have good toebox space but the middle part a bit tight but good lock for my feet. These shoes sure have very good traction. For me the shoes have good bounce on it. Tq for the review.
I went a half size up and it fits so much better. I find puma runs small for me. They’re staring to show up in the big US discount clothing stores, I just bought a pair for $39.99 USD and it’s like my favorite shoe in my rotation now.
@@luisrazormax2861 I loooove them. I don’t buy puma but I’m sure glad I gave this shoe a shot, the ride just suits me. I figured if I didn’t like them it just cost me $39 bucks to find out. But man, what a banger of a daily trainer! Well played Puma, well played….🥰
@@quickfoxreview874 in my experience they fit completely true to size, I would say try them on if you have the chance to go to the store, otherwise order in your actual size online.
Mystery stack height, clever marketing by Puma, lol. Glad the fit was better in this shoe compared to the Forever Run. That cornering issue is strange. Excellent comparison between the Nitro 2 and the Speed 3 at the end. Question, what's the point of having such a flexible plate? I would think something a little stiffer would be more effective.
The more flexible plate is to add a little bit more responsiveness. Similar to the nylon plate in the Endorphin Speed 3. It’s less expensive to produce than full carbon, but still gives a little extra pop (nowhere near as much as say the Hoka Rocket X2).
@@UltraTrailSteven heard one youtube reviewer saying his forefoot feel painful during slow run due to the plate... has you ever run slowly, jogging pace with puma deviate nitro 2?
Great review! How did you find the fit in top upper / toe box area? I'm finding that the material between the upper and toe box (on top) seems to be bunching just a bit. Just curious if you found it be the the same and maybe it's just the nature of the mesh material? Thanks!
I like this shoe .......i got 2 of them . My 2 minimal dislike is the weight (but its kinda plush so it cant be helped) and wished the toe rocker was more agressive (falling off a cliff is a feel i really like ).
I am only run 12mins per miles. not sure at that slow pace the Deviate Nitro 2 is suit for me? Now I run with Puma Magnify , I enjoyed with Magnify, I can feel some bounce back even with my slow pace.
Idk if this says anything about my form or the way I run, because this issue I have with some shoes doesn’t seem to get talked about a lot. I demoed these at their Boston shakeout and it had too much squish in the forefoot for me. I think what happens is as the balls of my foot sink into the foam it causes rubbing on my toes. It feels like with every step my toes have to push hard through the foam instead of just rolling off the foam. Eventually this causes parts of my foot to go numb. I had the same issue with ASICS glideride 3
Seems very narrow and tight in the forefoot and toe box to me. The toe is very pointed. I tried half size up but just a little too much space in the toe. Not a shoe for wide feet. The search continues...
@@UltraTrailSteven Minimal stability would be something like a Nimbus or Invincible I think. The DN2 with lower stack height, firmer midsole and the plate is definitely more stable than the above.
I've been reading a lot from other users saying that the toe box is too narrow and short, some experiences rubbing of little toe, midfoot too narrow too. What do you think? Cos I've got a slightly wider feet
@UltraTrailSteven autocorrect and fat fingers, I was in a hurry when I was watching your review, I meant that my foot was sweating under the rubberized tongue. I also notest the rubbing on my achilles . That being said, I just bought another pair because they were around 45 $ only. ( I live in Kuwait)

@@Kureshiman I didn’t know they made a WTR edition. I hope they work n
@@Kureshimancould you please let me know how you like these?
I'm considering to get the WTR version as well, I want to use them only on wet days.
Is it more stable compared to the Endorphin? I overpronate a bit, so I'm curious about the stability aspect on these.

Awesome shoes. Very fast and also very comfortable over longer distances. Fit is amazing/size is completely true
Glad you like them!
I've been reading from others saying that toe room and mid foot is too narrow, is this true?
@@quickfoxreview874 they fit my average ton arrow foot fine. It’s all gonna depend on your foot shape. Best bet is to try them on first

@@UltraTrailStevenI absolutely hate very stiff shoes which do not flex much.
@@UltraTrailStevenHow's the plate for long distance walking (8-10 miles) or even light jogging? Too stiff?
@@MadLadsAnonymous no I think it would be fine. It’s not near as stiff as a normal carbon plate

Yes it bunched a bit for me too, but I think that was due to the volume of my foot.

@@UltraTrailSteven Great! I had short listed this DV2
Great review. I run HM in Brooks Ghost 15. Can I expect to improve time with this Puma DN2 ? Currently I have 1:59:00 time
Idk. These are pretty fast shoes but there are so many other variables to consider too
@@UltraTrailSteven Thaks for answer. I ordered Puma DM 2 and will see how it will perform 😉
Hi
Thanks for the video
I’m a 10.5 in ASICS but 11 in saucony - what size would you suggest ?
Probably size 11. I wear 11’s in Saucony and they fit about the same as the PUMA’s.
Idk if this says anything about my form or the way I run, because this issue I have with some shoes doesn’t seem to get talked about a lot. I demoed these at their Boston shakeout and it had too much squish in the forefoot for me. I think what happens is as the balls of my foot sink into the foam it causes rubbing on my toes. It feels like with every step my toes have to push hard through the foam instead of just rolling off the foam. Eventually this causes parts of my foot to go numb. I had the same issue with ASICS glideride 3
I have heard of that with some people. My wife has that issue in some shoes too
Seems very narrow and tight in the forefoot and toe box to me. The toe is very pointed. I tried half size up but just a little too much space in the toe. Not a shoe for wide feet. The search continues...
Good luck!
Interesting shoe, how do you rate the stability for a pronator runner?
Minimal stability.
@@UltraTrailSteven Minimal stability would be something like a Nimbus or Invincible I think. The DN2 with lower stack height, firmer midsole and the plate is definitely more stable than the above.
I've been reading a lot from other users saying that the toe box is too narrow and short, some experiences rubbing of little toe, midfoot too narrow too. What do you think? Cos I've got a slightly wider feet
They fit my feet fine. I have average to narrow feet.
Good afternoon. I usually wear 10 USA in Pegasus and saucony ride. Should I wear the same in deviate 2? Thanks
Yes I would think you would be fine.
How does it compare to asics nimbus 25?
Sorry but I haven’t turned the Nimbus 25
I'm size 11 in Nike, what size do you recommend with this Deviate Nitro 2 ?
Size 11 should be fine.
How is experience on offroad running
On crushed or light gravel and hard packed dirt they are just fine.
Should I where these shoes with socks or without socks while running which is more comfortable?
With socks is definitely more comfortable!
Does it have a plastic / TPU heel counter? My Achilles is very sensitive…
The heel counter is pretty flexible, but it has aggravated my achilles at times.
I experienced heel slip in the first version of the Deviate Nitro, has version 2 got the same issue ?
If you lace then up well, I didn’t experience any heel slip.
@@UltraTrailSteven done them extra tight with thicker socks. Bit dissapointed as none of my saucony or NB slip
Hey Steven, were you able to confirm the heel drop? Just wondering. Thanks.
Unfortunately, no. I never heard back from Puma
@@UltraTrailSteven Ok. Thanks, Steven.
My feet is 25,5cm (normal, not wide) should i choose this shoe size 26cm wide or 26,5cm normal?
I would order your normal size. 26cm should hopefully work.
@@UltraTrailSteven thanks bro
Can you recommend a brand of UV or SPF sleeves for arms and hands for running in the sun?
Not really since I have never tried any. Sorry
Such behaviour in turns is called understeer 🙂
HAHA I actually said that to myself when running in them as I used to race cars too lol
@@UltraTrailSteven that's cool, I'm a massive Motorsport fan haha. What kind of racing did you do?
