Thanks! I made the leap as Puma has a great return policy. I’m a slower runner, and absolutely love this shoe. Find it very comfortable and feels stable.
I don’t find them too narrow in the midfoot. Maybe the V3 has a little more room than the V1. I think there’s more room in the v3 than there is in the Takumi Sen 8. I run in the v1 and v3 side by side at 10:00 on the video.
Fantastic review and Shoes Off. Query: Good to know you prefer Deviate Elite 3 vs Hoka X2. How do you compare Deviate Elite 3 bounce & energy in comparison to Adidas Adios Pro 3? Thanks!!!!!
Thanks for watching. Clarification: I actually would prefer the Hoka Rocket X 2 for races longer than 15k, but I prefer the Deviate Nitro Elite 3 for 15k and under. However, the more I’ve been running in the Puma since this review, the more it has opened up. I might have to do a follow-up to see if I think it could handle some longer things. As far as vs the Adios Pro 3, I think there very little crossover in use case scenario. I would only reach for the adidas when racing a half marathon or marathon (or 50k, which I used it for in January). The Puma is a lot lighter and bouncier, and the adidas is more of a cruiser. As far as workouts, I’d use the Puma for shorter, faster reps and the adidas for long tempo runs or marathon pace runs, but I could use either for threshold workout.
That’s a good question. I think it encourages and rewards a higher cadence. However, there are runners with larger frames and longer legs who have enjoyed this shoe (Edd Bud comes to mind). I think the experience might be different for a low cadence runner, but that might be that a higher impact leads to more compression response. That’s only a hypothesis, so I would be curious to hear others’ experiences.
Not at the moment. I’m honestly skeptical of them beefing up the midsole and adding a plate. I thought the HypMax1 had a pretty good formula going. But the Hyperion 2 (non-max) looks like it might be a good replacement for the OG HypMax. We’ll see. I think Brooks is falling behind in the midsole game at the moment.
@@thecaptainchas2820 Yea I agree. I was a big fan of the Hyperion max 1. I am disappointed with fact that they added a plate, plus the midsole seems like the shoe may have loss some of it's quick turnover and may be too "bouncy" for me....smh
Longer, yes. More roomy…not necessarily. They still have a taper to the forefoot which would make them pretty snug for a wide foot. I guess there’s more volume overall, but that’s mainly just some extra space in from for the first two toes. I would still go true to size.
Slightly longer, and slightly wider in the mid sole than meta speed sky Paris, 9.5 in DNE3 fits me better than MSP in size 10 due to my fat foot. The DNE3 also feels much more stable
@@colindittmer. I guess that does limit the customizability. Having run it for a couple of races and a few workouts now though, I can’t say I’ve thought about it.

I hope you enjoy them!
Excellent video, very informative & gives us consumers a clear idea to purchase it or not
I’m glad it’s helpful!
Thanks for the review. I look forward to your reviews as you pay for your shoes vs being gifted them by the brands. I trust your feedback. 👍
Thanks for watching! Though I wouldn’t mind if more companies comped me some shoes! 😉
Great detailed oriented review!.
Thanks!
Great review, how do you compare the V1 to V3? I found V1 to narrow for me in the midfoot.. Like a Takumi Sen..

It’s a must to have this shoe
It’s a fast one for sure!

its alyphatic tpu made by the chinese company shincell who also makes adidas lightstrike pro ..!
do you think for low cadence runner would be difficult to adapt to this shoe?
That’s a good question. I think it encourages and rewards a higher cadence. However, there are runners with larger frames and longer legs who have enjoyed this shoe (Edd Bud comes to mind). I think the experience might be different for a low cadence runner, but that might be that a higher impact leads to more compression response.

Do you have any plans on reviewing the Hyperion Max 2?
Not at the moment. I’m honestly skeptical of them beefing up the midsole and adding a plate. I thought the HypMax1 had a pretty good formula going.

Did u find them a bit longer/more roomy than ur Paris Edge?
Longer, yes. More roomy…not necessarily. They still have a taper to the forefoot which would make them pretty snug for a wide foot. I guess there’s more volume overall, but that’s mainly just some extra space in from for the first two toes. I would still go true to size.
@@thecaptainchas2820 what about the differences in the midfoot area? Thanks

The glued in innersole is a big turn off for me.

@@thecaptainchas2820 Same with me. Inner sole is fine with this shoe
