Fast, bouncy racer with PBs from 5K to marathon; narrow, so it suits narrower feet best.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.

PositiveAn excellent cushion-to-weight ratio, a huge weight drop vs v2, springy foam for many paces, a natural ride, and best-in-class grip and durability at a lower price. One tester prefers it to the Adios Pro 3. Another tester notes slight heel instability.
Most runners find the PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite 3 fast, bouncy and comfortable, with many setting PBs from 5K to marathon in it and several calling it stable and durable.
