From my experience the grip on my Novablast 5s and Superblast is fine, but not that great. My route usually has some mossy sidewalks that is quite slippy after rain and I had to slow down (sometimes to a walk) to feel confident about my footing. But, the sidewalks where I live is not the best so your mileage may vary. I had better experience with my Deviate Nitro 3s and my SL2s when I know the route will be slippery.

Puma Deviate Nitro 3 - Running shoe that is also the flagship product for Hyrox. Designed as a super trainer and can handle slower paces all the way through to the faster stuff. Nitro Foam is also much more robust than a PEBAX(spelling?) based sole and the puma grip works well across all surfaces even in the wet.

Puma R3 - competition Puma DNE3 - speedwork (comp. before R3) 2 x Puma DN3 - Tempo up to 10k-ish pace (got 2 pairs 'cuz double threshold days) Puma velocity - easy <- wouldnt buy again, DN3 - better fast dailytrainer, magmax -better easy shoe IMO Puma Magmax - easy & recovery i use the DN3 / DNE3 as trailshoe, IMO somewhat casual-competative trailrunning gets too fast for normal trailshoes if trails are not technical.

puma DN3, is plated but more ridgid & a little more supportive. also has a more resilient foam. i get \~700km out of a pair. its the dailytrainer&tempo version (and labeled as a faster dailytrainer rype of shoe) of the DNE3.

Puma especially since they now have the top-of-the-list raceshoe aswell at the moment. everything is just 20-30% cheaper then the competition, stuff is durable, grip is good. the only real lack in puma was a high-end supershoe for very fast people, but that has been solved with the r3. magmax is a good max-cushion, velocity is a good dailytrainer, you have the plated dailytrainer with DN3 that is durable for like 600-800km. DNE3 is good enaugh for me for non-technical competative trailracing and shorter races where i dont want to grind away the moneys-worth of my R3's. the only thing missing is a good trailshoe for very technical hiky-type of trails.

The Fast-R3 fits similar to the Deviate Nitro 2 and Velocity Nitro 2: narrowish in the forefoot and a touch long, but not virtually unusable like the Deviate Nitro 3. I have run a half marathon in the FR3 and had no issues with my feet whatsoever.
