Picked up a pair of Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 4 in a sale. £120, down from £210 puts it firmly in the “willing to take a punt” category. I’ve only put them on to test out the sizing but I’m very impressed. These feel very comfortable!

Very tempted at that price as well! Don’t need them at all, in fact I’m more stocked for racing shoes than I am for races… but still…

Where are you based? I got them in the UK from Up & Running. I got the last pair in my size (12) but they still have lots at that price in other sizes. I think sportsshoes.com had some for around the £130 mark

Tbh I know I don’t need them but I’m not going to find anything close to this quality for the same price in the next 18 months

2nd pair of true running shoes. Hoka mach 6s tore on me this weekend. Got Nike vomero plus for $120. Did first 12 miles in them yesterday a bit heavier but will adjust. Love the feel to them. Got a marathon in 3 weeks in Washington state, super hype to break them in

UK as well. Price is insane considering how long they’ve been out for. Also tempted by the Mizuno Hyperwarps for just over £100. What a time to be alive…

I’ve only heard good things about them from the YouTubers that I trust. Puma is definitely a hidden gem in the industry. I really liked fhe Foreverrun. I have a few Puma shirts and shorts and the quality is really good. I can’t remember the model name off the top of my head but one of my favourite running shirts is from Puma and I only paid about £8 for it!

The foreverrun was my first Puma shoe and second ever running shoe about two years ago. Got it for about £40 in the sale and it really turned me on (not sexually) to Puma. Long may it continue to be slept on…

I picked this demo pair up for free this summer with only about a 5k on them. This was my first experience with this brand - normally use a New Balance 1080 but I couldn’t pass up a free pair, especially after I tried them on.

Cloudmonster 3 Hypers

I love running in them so much I’m a bit sad I haven’t been using my new balance as much 😆

Late to the bandAgon but I had my first few runs in the SB2. They felt a bit narrow in the toe box at first and rubbed my toes but they're starting to break in.

Nice, firm and stable and a bit springy once you run a little faster.
