I got the Velocity 2 last year and the toe box was so narrow i thought i got the wrong size. I nearly sent them back. I stuck with them and 3 weeks later they were perfect. 900km later and easily another 200km left in them I'm so pleased i kept them. I'll take a punt on the Velocity 3 when the time is right. Cheers Fordy

Given the quality of the Nitro foam and Puma Grip, I think VN3 looks pretty good compared to daily trainers in the price range (Novablast, Pegasus, Ride 17). The elephant in the room is the sales out there on the Deviate Nitro 2.

As someone with wide feet appreciate the heads up. Would definitely struggle to get my flippers in them.

The older I get, the more I value versatility and comfort. I love Pumagrip for versatility but I have pretty wide feet, so I've moved away from Puma towards Asics which I find work for me - Novablast 3 TR was my shoe of 2023!

Bang on review as always and the red light width warning make it a no no so many thanks.

I love mine so much and weirdly seem a bit roomier than the V2 to me. They’ve got the grip, they’ve got the look and they are great on the run. Saucony doesn’t have the grip so in this way they seem superior to me. Thx Chris!

Just bought these they arrived just now based on your review

Good afternoon. Interesting information about the Puma 2024. Like to Fordy. A nice saturday for everyone.

Great 👌 been waiting for this review before deciding to buy it. It shoikd works perfect for my narrow feet. Pumagrip just don't have any competition at the same level. No other daily training have a grip like that!! Thanks. Great review. Cheers

Thanks. I guess it's more narrow than your average shoe, but if it's not more narrow than version 2, which I have, it should fit fine for most with standard width. The two things I was hoping for was a lower drop to 8 mm, and they need to get their sizing right. I wear an EU men's size 42.5 in every other brand, which would be a size 9 in North America and, I think, a size 8 in the UK, but I need a 42 in all my different Puma's (5 pairs), and even then my toe room length wise is too generous. I could probably downsize again. It's not a problem running, but sure wish they would standardize their widths to the other manufacturers - I have run in most of them over the years. But, will order this shoe when available. Cheers!

Recently picked up the Magnify Nitro 2. I don’t see any reason to go back to the Velocity Nitro line after getting miles in the Magnify. They feel just as nimble, maybe more with more protection in the higher stack and a slightly wider platform which adds a little more inherent stability/support.

Will be getting the Deviates 2, the universal trainer, as can only pack 1 pair of shoes when I go offshore.

If thats the price for a daily it could be argued it stands out for value vs the competition? Love your reviews always true for me and what works for me vs your view

Great vid Fordy. Is it much narrower than vn2? Rumours are this will be £110, I feel like that will make a difference.

Velocity Nitro 2 had two major problems. 1. An upper which soaked swet and water. 2. It was as strangely unforgiving on longruns. Will not try the third version.

Vs. Supernova Rise? Better?

I wore these shoes for a week and in my opinion they were too narrow for me and the left foot ached at night really bad. Beautiful shoe and I didn’t care for the material which felt like thick nylon threads. Sent the Nitro 3 back.

Mrs Ford sounds like a woman after my own heart. Could she have a word with my wife? I love the Velocity 2. So much so that I have a couple of pairs in their boxes upstairs so I will not be trying these for a while.....but I will be trying them. Pumagrip rocks!

Hey Fordy, so I guess the question here is width. Is the toebox narrow/cramped on these ? (So far all signs point to it). I tried the deviate nitro 2, and returned them due to a very cramped and tapered toebox/forefoot. I personally have a average width foot, maybe even leaning more towards narrow than wide. Puma so far seems like slim fit skinny jeans to me. I have a pair of Magnify nitro 2's on the way to me, hoping those are more of a "relaxed fit".

Hmmm I don’t know mate for the price I just bought two velocity nitro 2. The benefits I don’t think are that much better. It’s like going from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13. Or am I just being cheap?

@FordyRuns I’m torn between the Velocity Nitro 3 and NB Rebel 3. I’m 100kg and want something to eat up the miles while training for Ironman. Are these ok ?

Love the Velocity nitro 2. How does the width of the version 3 compare with version 2?

I was gifted a pair of the V2 for a 10k PB event. Not sure what Puma we’re thinking, as a PB shoe it is not. Even though it was free, I was tempted to ask for a discount 😂 but they make nice slippers around the house

Thanks for the video. Quick question, when you refer to goal pace, is that marathon goal pace? Cheers.

The ride 17 is wider than most shoes including most sauconys

Narrower than the velocity nitro 2?

Need to 1 size up for Velocity Nitro

£110 RRP and will come in a wide option 👍

Just bought them to hyrox, lets see

So length is TTS but just narrow?

anyone know if Fordy still has a code for Start Fitness at the moment please?

Anyone know which is firmer. This or the Ride 17.

This shoe looks fantastic aesthetically especially compared to the previous one. My previous one velocity and deviates look like boomer discount store shoes

I'm looking for a daily rotation shoe to add to my collection if you had to pick one right now taking the superblast out the pick what would it be

Fordy, where can we find your star fitness code?

This vs the supernova rise?

Priced at 140 GBP sounds high for you guys because it r retails for$164 CAR...._20 LESS than a Peg 41.... Not a huge officer difference. AG's this think the Peg."blows it out of the water"?? Shrug.. Tell us why..

I have the Velocity Nitro 2, and the shoe feels boring and lifeless. There are too many livelier shoes that are more fun to run in to settle for this line.

Why would someone get this instead of the Deviate Nitro?

The version 2 of the velocity is an ordinary shoe. low quality materials. The first version was better, but Puma is far away from Asics, NB, Adidas, for the same price.

A shit shoe. The Powertape at the inside is causing pain and blisters after some miles. Would never buy it again.
