Each month, Endurance Magazine Online will feature a review of new shoes, currently available at many specialty retailers throughout the U.S. Nearly every model can be found at these specialty running stores, but more importantly, you’ll find the people that know running and can help you find the shoe that will best meet your individual needs based on foot type, running style, mileage and where you like to run. Use this information as an appetizer, but for the main course, be sure and visit your local specialty running store since they are the ones that can truly satisfy your craving for the right shoes you can use. This week, we feature the Puma Complete Velosis:
Support: Neutral / Price $125.00 / Weight: 10.4 oz. (women) & 12.8 oz. (men)
A high-end shoe built for neutral runners and supinators with a low to high arch looking for maximum cushioning and comfort on their daily runs. It’s built on a wider platform that offers stability and features a 3M mesh upper with plenty of reflective detailing for increased visibility.
“These shoes offer comfortable cushioning with a nice, wide toe box. This shoe stands out as a perfect everyday trainer, but seems to run a bit on the small side, so when trying these on I recommend stepping up a half-size to make sure it’s the correct size.”
