Thanks for the review, Sam. The Puma’s weight and its max cushioning seem similar to two stalwarts: the Brooks Glycerin and the Saucony Triumph. How does it compare to those two shoes? Thanks, as always, for your insights.
Hi Anonymous,
Close for sure in stack but more “old fashioned” in feel, more ponderous older midsole foams, and geometry if also soft.

Thanks a lot, Sam.
Thank you for the review Sam. Never tried Puma before but I'm willing to test them out now.
Keep up the good work
Thanks David!
All their new collection is very good except maybe strangely soft Eternity stability shoe.

It would be great to have a comparison of it against the Asics Novablast 2 and Nike Invincible. :)
Hi Anonymous,
Great idea! We'll do that in the written review but in brief: Invincible bouncier softer and less stable with not nearly the well executed upper while Novablast 2 a faster shoe but a narrower underfoot platform so not as easy pace friendly as Magnify.

Hi Sam,
Did you mean Puma having old fashioned feel or Brooks/Saucony? Is Puma livelier than Triumph and still stable?
Hi Feel,
Sorry for any confusion. The Puma is a more old fashioned (less bouncy lively) and heavier than the Aurora and more stable. Puma's Nitro is clearly more lively and energetic than denser and firmer (if more responsive PWRRUN in the Shift but is a bit muted by the second lower layer and full outsole rubber coverage, so a nice reliable balance that gives back more. Note Shift has a rigid rocker with final Speed Roll while Puma has some flex. As far as Triumph 19 compare both are lively but I must say I find the PWRRUN+ kind of dense in feel., more rubber ball than spring as in Nitro. Really comes down to preferences as all have tons of cushion stack.

Hi Sam,
I've never seen anyone review the newer Electrify Nitro, which also uses two foams but at a lower stack and price point. Any plans to review that shoe? Thanks!
Not at the moment but can try to get samples to test.
