PUMA Men's Evospeed Sprint 10 Track and Field Shoe

Product Information

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a daily workhorse, or a high-mileage runner seeking consistent performance with a bit of cushioning, the 880 really is a shoe that can work for everyone.

There’s a new waffle outsole with improved traction, as well as a stretchy knit upper, which features a water-resistant liner to keep your toes dry. Over the years, Puma has taken their models to the next level. In 1991 Puma designed what is called a disc system. The Puma did not have any laces, but a adjustable fit. In 1996 Puma released the “Cell” which it is said to be the first foam free midsole. From then on, Puma has incorporated them into new models. To be exact, Puma was established in 1948, and the first shoe to release was the Atom a soccer shoe. Not long after, athletes started wearing Puma’s in key events. In 1952 runner Josef Barthel wore Puma while he won a Olympic Gold Medal in the 1500 m. In 1956, the formstripe was introduced and since then, has been a Puma trademark. Neutral: Runners with a normal range of pronation – the natural inward rolling of the foot when it hits the ground. Runners with this gait will prefer a neutral shoe. Editor’s Note: We reviewed our shoe selections on 9 November 2023 in line with our most recent round of wear-testing for autumn/winter 2023.The updated Velociti features a cushioned Flow midsole that tends towards the firmer end of the scale– but this is a shoe that definitely gives a little as you wear it in. There's a reason that the Pegasus is in its 40th iteration – the 'workhorse with wings' really does deliver. There's only been a couple of minor tweaks to the latest version of the neutral, daily trainer – after all, if it ain’t broke, why fix it? But tweaks do include a newly redesigned mid-foot band for a more secure fit, and a redesigned single-layer mesh upper to offer more breathability and help to improve airflow in sweaty conditions. Our team continually road-test the best new models as and when they're released. We assess shoes for their performance across every area runners need to consider: fit, feel, cushioning, responsiveness, comfort, grip, breathability and overall ride. With On’s signature CloudTec technology, a full-length carbon speedboard and new Helion HP hyperfoam, it’s undeniably a very good looking shoe. The upper consists of a single woven structure with On’s classic minimalist styling. While the shoe offers great bounce and comfort, it’s not a lightweight option, so it’s definitely a cruisy, easy day shoe, rather than a speedster.

If you were judging a shoe on looks alone, you’d be forgiven for assuming the Wave Rider 27 would feel a touch heavy or a little flat underfoot. But you’d be wrong, because this is a deceptively good and lightweight trainer you can use every day.Now on its 13th iteration, it’s clear why the shoe has stood the test of time. It’s highly versatile, responsive enough for interval sessions – albeit perhaps not for the most advanced – yet comfortable for long runs. Building a shoe rotation can help to mitigate this because if you’re running in the same pair of shoes every day, the midsole foam doesn’t have time to fully decompress before its next use. So giving your shoes time to recover between sessions allows the midsole to decompress, helping you to get more miles out of it. How do I know my foot type for running shoes? The pronation control, provided by the Hollow Tech support frame, is excellent. It’s essentially a lighter and less intrusive version of a medial post. There’s also a sturdy heel counter to provide more stability. The shoe fits true to size with a roomy toebox. Though it’s certainly not a speeds hoe, it’s surprisingly lightweight, with reasonable firmness. Our testers commented that it felt light and nimble, with just as much comfort from the first mile to the last of even a long run.

With a shoe as popular as the Gel-Kayano, updating it is always a risk. But in this case, it’s one that pays off. To reduce the colossal footprint of the global trainer industry, we support the idea of running every possible mile in the shoes you already own, revelling in every last run you can share. In the 1940s Adolph and Rudolf Dassler had a falling out, Rudolf went on to create Puma (while his brother Adolph went on to create Adidas). Even though Puma was a new company, Rudolf knew a lot about athletic sneakers. Before Rudolf and Adolph Dassler (brothers) went their own ways, they owned Gebruder-Dassler Schuhfabrik a footwear company. This shoe has a sculpted midsole, curving inwards on the lateral side to provide more compression, and convex sculpting on the medial side, which provides a greater volume of foam. The stability tech is subtle, but effective. This means that the Gel-Kayano 30 is not just for overpronators.The fourth iteration has an all-new midsole, made with the new ReactX foam – which, according to Nike, gives you 13% more energy return compared with the standard Nike React foam –and also reduces the carbon footprint of the midsole by at least 43%. Puma has made some fantastic running shoes over the past few years but its yet to really nail the classic stability shoe – until now. However, unlike, say, the classic Asics Gel-Kayano, this is a modern stability shoe that delivers not by inserting medial posts but by tweaks in the construction itself.
