PUMA Men Voyage Nitro Gore-Tex Running Shoes

Product Information

What I did find peculiar about the design, something I’ve not seen on many other standard PUMA trainers or sneakers is the amount of text it has.

From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. It is the latter that I tested over the past few weeks, taking a detour from my usual running paths to something more offroad. The increased rigidity of the upper from the membrane, the increased weight, the loss of drainage capability led to too many drawbacks for me versus the expected gains, especially considering that the weather I run under is never that bad, and the Salomon SLab XAlpine do a very fine job for the about ten snowy days or the occasional winter mountain trip. The Voyage is a great general purpose outdoor activity shoe (running, hiking, walking on any terrain) as it is smoother on road and more comfortable. It is definitely suited to cold temperatures and wet conditions given the thickness and waterproofing, but is usable in most conditions especially for low intensity activity such as hiking and walking.Overall it is easy to run, not hampered by the terrain, comfortable (both fit and feel), and performant. The fit of both is comfortable but the Endorphin Trail is higher volume and looser—it is less secure than the Voyage but would probably fit wider feet better. I often look for trail shoes that can handle the road adequately as many of my runs combine road and trail and the Nitro core, softer outsole, and pretty darn good flow for a big shoe all fit the bill while not leaving out any more hard core technical trail capabilities.

In testing I did a six mile easy run (8:30 min/mi) on the road and was not bothered at all by the lugs.The specialised foam and carbon-plated midsole was a huge success for the brand in re-establishing itself as a serious contender within the running community, as it did throughout the 80s with its leading tech.
