MixedAbout 40 to 60 km each over easy runs and intervals. The testers liked the balanced Nitro foam, stable broad base, roomy fit and grippy outsole with no wear signs, calling it a solid easy-day and long-run shoe. One tester had heel and Achilles irritation, never found a rhythm and found it too heavy to run fast in. Another felt it lacked energy return and is not very versatile.
Most runners love the PUMA MagMax Nitro as a bouncy, protective, durable shoe for easy miles and long runs, with a wide stable base and some getting several hundred miles from a pair. The main downside is weight, which feels clunky when picking up the pace. A few get blisters on the ball of the foot or find the midfoot tight.
