Puma Velocity Nitro 4 is my go to for what you’re describing. Not squishy, a bit of bounce with cushioning. Legal stack height.
Puma Velocity Nitro 4. Para at least walang plate. Pwede din Magmax pero baka unstable yung max cushion for non-running use.
Now ko lang mabasa yung dulo na wide. Pumas fit narrow according to others, kaya try on ka muna if possible.
Adios 9 for speed work Glycerin flex/velocity nitro 4 for daily
I have the EVO SL too and it can be used as both, although it starts to shine at paces between 3.45-5min/km pace IMO. I would recommend using it as a threshold/tempo session but it's still very fun to use on easy runs as well, although I find myself going naturally faster in them. I find them a bit annoying with the flimsy quality of the tongue for longer runs so have got the Puma Velocity Nitro 4 for both longer runs and daily runs, a a cheap beast and can see myself using it for quite a while.
I got some a few weeks ago. Similar experience to you. I'm loving them. Quite noisy shoes for the first few runs as the grip eases in.
Puma nailed it with the Velocity Nitro 4.
I haven’t. Been running in Velocity 4 since late summer and really enjoying it. Will see how the upper handles Texas swamp summer, it’s trapping a little more heat than I like. But, I’ll give the Boston a look when the Pumas start to wear down.
Can you get yourself a pair of Puma Velocity Nitro 4? They seem to be available on Puma India (I’m assuming that’s where you are considering the INR) for 12000INR, they’re reasonably durable, and they’re the cousin of the Deviate Nitro so they’re good for grip etc, and they’re pretty comfortable
