I love seeing you branch out more and more off your Nike staples. I've never gotten along with Nike shoes (except their Alpha Fly for racing only) - so, this content is becoming more and more useful to more and more runners.
Yes, will be getting some more variety on the channel over the next few months! Glad you like it Adam!
I'm a Saucony guy as I've chosen this brand since I purchased the Ride 8. I've tested at the running track the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite (version 1) which are now on sale at £85 and they literally smoked my favourite shoes (Pro +), purchased spending £132. Please feel free to watch my video. Well done, Puma!
I bought the velocity nitro 2 about a month ago and haven't wanted to run in anything else. Puma seems to be smashing it out the park recently 👌
just bought these. it's narrow in toe area so i went half size up but still squishing my toes. i can't buy full size up because it would be too long. does the upper open up after some miles?
@@gudboyngdisyerto the upper does open up and shape to your foot more after some miles
Ben you must have an amazing rotation man. I would love to see all the different shoes you use in one video. Great review as usual. 🙌
Great review, always forget about Puma... may have to pick some up!!
Your running form is close to perfect. I made a few adjustments to my form after seeing yours. Thanks
Fantastic review Ben, thanks for your work!
I have used others shoes, but now i Am a Puma fan, with a Fast-R for races, the Deviate Nitro 2 for fast works and daily trainer and a Foreverun Nitro for long runs, and is a pleasure use all of then.
I’ll be trying the velocity nitro 2’s tomorrow for the first time and these are definitely on my radar too. Great review👍
Hi Ben, Love your content, I got a pair of the Deviate Nitro 2s that arrived yesterday, felt amazing on the feet just out of the box walking around. Went for a run and absolutely blown away.. Seems an amazing shoe (albeit only 1 run in)
Honest review as always Ben 👍🏻
Have just bought the Deviate Nitro Elite and it’s so enjoyable to run in, feeling more natural than other super shoes but light and responsive and very comfortable. First Puma experience and really impressive and sounds like Nitro 2 one of the shoes of the year.
Brilliant review Ben! I’ll be buying these. Absolutely love my Forever Runs. Looking forward to your shirt and hats arriving in Australia 👍
Thanks for the excellent review.
After some research I got a pair of the velocity Nitro 2. I'm no fast runner by any stretch of the imagination, almost 60 years old so mostly just go and enjoy it. After 180 miles I'm certainly loving the pumas.
Regarding Puma grip, it's so awesome and happy to trade that off with a few extra grams.
I'll probably get those Deviate nitro 2 as they look a bit more stable and I'm a mild pronator.
Pumas are so fun to run in, super versatile and that durability with already great pricing, what value! Love em.
Thanks.. Rob
Is that t-shirt first in Km and then in Miles? It does look nice though
I tried several brands of running shoes but always had plantar injuries repeatedly, and was able to recover from the plantar and run comfortably until now with Puma running shoes VN1 and DN2 ❤❤
I've got the Velocity Nitro 2 and the Deviate Nitro 2. They are my most used training shoes. Both are quite special in that they can do everything quite well. I think you'd even could race all distances in the Deviate Nitro 2. I use Velocity Nitro 2 for easy , daily and tempo. I use Deviate Nitro 2 for treshold runs like 10x1000 meter and marathon workouts, my longest was 25 km with 16 km at marathon pace.
When I was younger and I could still play football I always wore Puma King's and I absolutely loved them. Now that I run I hadn't even considered Puma as a running shoes brand. A couple of weeks ago I got a pair of Puma Magnify Nitro as a winter running shoe and I have been so impressed. Very comfortable and easy to run in, and they have great grip for this horrible British winter weather that we get.
Thanks for the review. My Deviate Nitro 2 should arrive in the coming week and I'm really looking forward to it. Like others mentioned here, this will be my first Puma running experience. I have nearly 40 running shoes from the likes of Nike, Saucony, adidas, ASICS, Hoka, NB, and On for road running but Puma never entered my radar - until THIS! Seems like a winner and it will fit in just fine in my daily trainer rotation with the Novablast 3, Endorphin Speed 3, and Mach 5. One can never have too many running shoes! Haha
I love my Puma running shoes. I have the Velocity Nitro for daily runs and the Liberate Nitro for tempo and interval work. Puma has really improved a lot. The Deviate Nitro 2 is next on my shopping list for sure.
I have the Puma velocity nitro and they work well for my easy miles.
Version one was super .. look down was the only weak point but running feelings super ..now i bought version 2 and is my shoe ...I hope puma will go ahead with this version no need of changing a single detail of this version tks for your reviews ciao Luca
Loving my velocity nitro 2s 👍 finding it hard to put my feet in anything else at the moment as it just works 😁
Puma DN2 is just beast.. my feet just feel plushed in my first try and really fit super well. They are tight but fingers still can move freely and no numbs even in long run. Great shoes from Puma.
Tempted to try, if there’s any Black Friday deals
Pls do a comparison video with Saucony ES3 pls. 🙂
planning to buy deviate nitro 2 and use it as the shoe for Tempo runs and for Raceday pace runs in my HM training program , In combination with peg 38 - where peg 38 will be the recovery and long easy run shoe
Recently got the velocity 2 and straight out of the box was super comfortable and didn’t even notice the shoe which is always a good sign
Sounds like you're onto a winner there Kyrie!
Would this be a good gym to running shoe as it can do it all and stable?
I tried a pair of these at a Puma taster event and was not expecting them to be so good. Think this review confirms that these will be the next pair of shoes I buy 👍🏻
Love these reviews, Ben. Need to start thinking what I'm going to treat myself to at Christmas 😅
Thank you Phil. Well this is a pretty good option for winter running I'd say!
Merry Christmas Ben! I may have told my family about these and I got them today! 😁 off to Parkrun now to test them out!
a hooker?
I put 375 miles on my first pair of the deviate and now have 175 miles on my second pair. I really like them but they are hard to find in running stores here in Minneapolis. The puma grip is great for the slippery roads where I run….fall leaves, rain and soon snow.
I would switch brand loyalty to Puma but have one concern. I’m size 11.5 uk but Puma are either size 11 or 12. I’m dubious about sizing up or down and visited a Puma store (could feel an 11 wrap to my big toe but had heel slippage in a 12). Unsure if I take the plunge with an 11…
My view is they may stable, well thought through shoes with better grip than most other brands. I notice Puma also comes off as a nearly brand. It’s “nearly as good as” a Saucony or maybe an ASICS/Adidas yet it’s nearly always better value.
Never even thought to try Puma. Last shoe I bought was the Hoka Mach 4s. Really like them but they are such a small fit! Going to grab another pair but need to go a full size up instead of a half.
Loving this electric orange colourway on these puma though
Glad I wasn't the only one concern about the sizing. Bought these in store and had to choose between my normal size and a half size up. Chose the latter since I remembered about the thumb rule and know under intense training feet swell up.
Hi Ben. Am running my 1st London Marathon with a charity place in 2023. Am looking to follow your advanced plan having run a 3.19 marathon in 2019 am looking to push for that 3 hour marathon. Budget is always key but am now looking at the puma or saucony as next price bracket from the Nike alphafly or vaporfly. Let me know your thoughts as never used carbon plated shoes. Thanks
Can’t find this colour way anywhere 😔 I want it 😢
Hello Ben! Regarding these Puma's, would you say this is has the characteristics to perform well in events that mix running with exercises like a Hyrox?
I really like puma liberate nitro and deviate nitro elite. I hate the fast-r. I would like to try the deviate nitro 2, but not sure if I want a plate in a training shoe.
Have you tried the waterproof version? Weatherised?
Just grabbed a pair.✌️
Puma have the colour you reviewed on sale currently...add in another 20% sign-up discount and I've ordered them for €88...nice review btw 🥂
I tought this was release in 2023
Using the OG Deviate, nothing but praise. I have about 700km on them, and they probably have 200km left.
On the bad side, I cannot bring myself to do anything, except recovery runs, without them. I am addicted.
How do these compare to the elite version
Thanks for the video. I'm looking for some advice. I've been running on the cumulus 24 as my daily trainer. I use that for distances from 10k to 15k, usually at easyto medium paces. I'm looking for a 2nd pair in my rotation with a bit more responsive ride as a daily trainer. Am heavily contemplating the deviate nitro 2. Went to test it out and it feels good but one concern that I had was that I felt my feet tilting a little inward as i land as compared to the usual flat landing that i feel with my cumulus 24. Is that feeling normal for this shoe and is it okay? A 2nd alternative im looking at is the forever run nitro.
Is the color way only available in WIDE? I can’t find it anywhere in normal width
while i’ve never tried a puma shoe, i sure do like their brand and think their logo looks neat :D
It is really a surprise, it's great! One of the best daily trainers. If it can improve the weight become lighter, it will definitely be the shoe of the year.
The weight is most likely from outsole, given that the upper is light and the foams are light weight in retrospect
@@xaviergutierrez1331 yes, you're right. Hope Puma could improve the outsole weight. Anyway still a pretty good and versatile daily trainer.
Thanks for the review, sounds really interesting and also 30 bucks cheaper than the Endorphin speed 3. Is it a full Nitro Elite midsole or does it have "regular" Nitro foam (in the heel)?
Regular in the heal.. in the white bit.
Do you size up or down
'how about the Puma trail shoes?
These and the velocity 2 are great trainers. I’m interested to know if anyone has run in the puma fast trac nitro trail shoe as this could complete my rotation?
Ciao Da Milano.
Ottima recensione ben spiegato e molto utile.
Per i miei allenamenti di qualità ero indeciso tra queste Puma Deviate nitro 2 o le SAUCONY ENDORPHIN SPEED 3...alla fine(oggi) Ho comprato le Puma.
Secondo te durano 500km?
Grazie in anticipo per la risposta
Ciao. Penso che dureranno 500 km +
Do you feel toe box is narrow?
I was looking for a shoe to use for my quicker paced work but also something that I could do easy miles before and after in so no faffing about changing shoes so when you reviewed these a few weeks ago I checked then out, found them on line for just over £90 in my size so hit the button, buy now ! . 3 weeks and half a dozen runs later, be it marathon pace long runs or speed play they do work. I'm tempted to get a second pair so thank you Ben. Ian
This is by far my favorite Shoe of 2022…..!
Love puma shoes. It takes a lot for me to run in anything else now. I have basically retired all the non-puma shoes I have owned. The SC trainer gets the occasional run and the rebel V2 is similar.
But I find myself lacing up the deviate 2 and the velocity 2 for most of my miles. Magnify is the only shoe I don't really love in the range honestly
Lets hope Puma stick around for many years to come! Producing some great shoes on this comeback!
Back when I played football as my main sport, I loved Puma boots/trainers, but as a result I have a very strong association between them and football and it is taking me a while to consider them for running shoes. I've heard a lot of positive things recently though, so you've just provided another possible exit route out of my wallet for my hard-earned cash!
PS. Any chance of that great t-shirt in kilometres please? :P
5k and 10k are on there! :-)
@@benparkestheextramile Good point, well made. 😁
I’ve put about 3,000 miles on mine
The actually do make wide widths in this shoe..... it's a bit odd that you have to search for them (on the US site anyway)
Thanks for the info Travis. I certainly couldn't find any on the Uk website.. good to know!!
Is it okay to run with this on my race day? I can't afford to buy super shoes since they are expensive and not durable.
Just came across this--- heard these shoes run very small, is that true?? I take a 10 in all my runners/any suggestions would sure help
They don't for me. As a guide, I'm US8.5 in these. Fits exactly the same in almost every way as my US8.5 endorphin speed 1 and pro 1. My novablast 3 is slightly long at the same size. NB More V4 sits in between DN2 and NB3 for length, but has a wider fit.
I've got a slightly wide foot. DN2, like the ES1 and NB3, was a little tight and needed a few runs before feeling just fine.
What is the reason for having these vids on a separate channel as of now? Just curious.
I get asked to make lots of training tips videos, review certain products by subscribers.. but many of them are quite niche.. so can't put them on the main channel as the algorithm gets messed up if videos do 'badly'. So made this channel where I can make quick videos.. upload them and help out those people who are interested. The main channel will continue as normal! I'll have a video comparing this Puma to the Saucony and the ZoomFly 5 out next week on there!
honestly buy both the deviate nitro 2 and speed 3 if you have the money. Just use the one you feel like using. Maybe the speed 3 in the summer, late spring and early autumn and the puma in the winter.
Puma really stormed the super trainer market this year, but sadly very few noticed.
If you only have 1, which would you choose between this shoe and the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3?
compared to Novablast 3
1. which one is better overall?
2. also for walking or casual use which one is better?
* I noticed you wear the smartwatch above the gloves, did it really track the heartrate accurately since it was not on contact with the skin?
thanks for the great video
US have their prices without sales taxes so it's difficult to compare to EU pricing.
Your review is now going to cost me $280AUD Ben. I have the Deviate 1 and love them, although heel slip and blisters were an issue until i invested in Balega socks and mountains of anti-blister tape. Does this version have any heel slip or hot spot issues?
I haven't had any hot spot or heal slip issues. As far as I can tell they've sorted all those issues in the heal!
Great review........was tempted.........but didn't get the credit card out. Then today found it in the Black Friday sale, direct from Puma at less than £100...... couldn't find the credit card quick enough.
Correct name please? Is it a deviate nitro 2?
Yes it is.
There are different widths. I’ve got the wide
I have had the chance to try the Deviate Nitro Elite Racer (very similar to the Deviate 2 but lighter with a thinner upper) and I was quite surprised at how different it feels compared to the Vaporfly even if they are both plated. Puma are doing a good job this year.
Yes.. great job it seems. This is the second shoe I've tested and have rated both of them. Looking forward to testing more!
In the Summary Ben suggests the Deviate Nitro 2 could be a good daily trainer. I am wondering if the Deviate Nitro Elite also be a good daily trainer? Is the only difference the thinner upper?
@@matt_adelaide I personally like a bit more padding around the ankles for my daily so I wouldn't use the Elite but if weight is more important than comfort for you then they can do a bit of everything
@@Resiak85 thank you. That’s a good point. Maybe the Deviate Nitro 2 is a better option as a daily trainer. Cheers
Paid 80 euros on sale ❤
Hey 👋
Hey Steve! 👋
@@benparkestheextramile just thought I’d try for first comment haha.
Hope they bring out a run Shield type of version for this shoe I can’t remember what puma call it. the endorphins speed run shield would be great but I dont have the same level of confidents in the wet grip and for some reason saucony don’t usually change the outsole on there run shields even tho is designed for the wet
"best plated training shoe"
i dont understand? I heard its not good to practie in plated shoe, especially not in carbon ones.
I heard plated shoes are for competions only
they mix the carbon so is not that solid like race shoe
One of the worst shoes of 2022. The shoe feels like a brick, and the upper runs way too hot in humid conditions.
Pumas are trash. Budget shoes at a premium price. Should be called a cool looking Skechers. Grip is good, but way too thick causing shoes to be heavy as bricks. Not a good buy
I hate plate shoes
Just bought v2 today. Version 1 was good (I've had no ankle issues at all) and I'm expecting v2 to be better. Puma is capable of releasing pretty solid shoes (Ignite 300 was a favourite) and the nitro line is great: nice midsole and TOP outsole. Love running in the Liberate nitro to the point I've bought 4 pairs.
