PRODUCT STORY The ForeverRun NITRO dawns a new era of support and guidance for all runners, providing the softness of a full NITRO midsole without compromising stability. It features a newly developed NITRO midsole with two different densities – a softer core with a firmer rim – and an asymmetrical heel counter to hold the foot in place through every stride. The theme also continues on the outsole, thanks to a wider medial rubber segment stabilising late-stage pronation. In short, it's the perfect blend of support and cushion. FEATURES & BENEFITSNITRO: Advanced nitrogen-injected foam designed to provide superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package - PWRTAPE: Targeted upper reinforcement for support and durability - RUNGUIDE: Firm density guide rail designed to keep your foot aligned and centred through each stride - PUMAGRIP: Durable performance rubber compound designed for all-surface traction - DETAILSEngineered mesh upper - Asymmetrical heel counter - Flared rubber outsole - Cushioning level: Max - Heel-to-toe drop: 10mm - Best for: Overpronators

Better than expected, the upper could have been a little less dense/thick for this warmer running season. I have become a fan of the newish Puma line and this was a much better running experience than I expected. It did not feel overly heavy and I could pick up the pace if wanted or needed.

I purchased the Forever Run about a month ago. I only have 30km in them so far. For the moment, the pros are a comfortable and bouncy midsole, a grippy outsole, and a certain versatility as despite the weight, we can still pick up the pace. However, if the toe box is accommodable, the midfoot is quite narrow, the heel has a tendency to slip and the mesh is quite warm, particularly with the high temperatures of these days.

The Forever Run Nitro has been quite a disappointment on my end. Though the foam is nicely soft and the outsole quite grippy, the shoe is pretty constrictive in the mid-foot area (despite a fairly large toe box) and the mesh is not very breathable (beyond 25 degrees Celsius, feet are cooking inside). The lockdown is difficult to adjust. There is also not a high responsiveness with this shoe which limits it pretty much for slow pace recovery. Had I known that beyond 100k the feeling would still be the same, I would have returned them. The Velocity Nitro 2 (purchased some months ago) is a way better and more versatile shoe in my opinion.

I ran in them the first time today, and it was a good feel for comfort. I liked them as my heel hit the ground and could feel the absorption of a heavier runner. The heal box is a little to loose, I pronate and cool feel sideways motion when running slower. Side heal comes up high and irritates my ankles a bit.
Had a great chat with a Puma marketing guy about this shoe. He sold me! And I loved running in them. However after just 60 miles a large spot had worn through on the tread. Now I am a hard heal striker but that's just way way to quick. Now at 75 miles and the hole is as big around as a silver dollar and deep. Oh well.
I'm a neutral runner and have never had the need to run in stability shoes. I tried one and didn't like its obtrusiveness that seemed to make you run in a certain way. Then, I read/saw the reviews about the ForeverRun being more of a "guidance" shoes for neutral runners and I decided to give it a try.I have a good number of shoes from various brands for the easy/recovery/slow category and I have to say that the ForeverRun just may be my favorite of the bunch. It's not too soft/squishy and it's not too firm/stiff; it's right in between while providing plenty of protection from impact.The ride is smooth and pleasant and I appreciate how it guides my feet to land neutrally when I'm logging the easy and slow miles for recovery after fast tempo or threshold workouts ... MoreI'm a neutral runner and have never had the need to run in stability shoes.

It's also lighter and more nimble than the typical max-cushioned shoes, so you can pick up the pace a bit without getting dragged down by bulk and weight. For some, it'd be a good daily trainer as well. I'm very impressed by the ForeverRun and highly recommend it.
40km into the shoe (4 runs by 10km each) and can't continue to wear them. On the left foot there is some structural issue that is making my left small toe go numb and experience a shock feeling. I don't wear wide shoes and haven't had this issue before in any other shoe. I can't swap insoles as the issue is too painful to experiment with. Right foot always felt great. Unfortunate I can't enjoy the shoe because the ride is otherwise great.
Since I suffer from back problems, a good cushioned shoe is always helpful. This shoe has allowed me to run comfortably, in lesser pain; and have now increased my weekly running mileage. While it's not the fastest shoe out there, it will definitely give you the support you need. Thanks, Puma!
I've put 38 miles on these shoes in including one 8 mile run. Supper breathable upper for rums in Florida. Midsole is nice. Only real complaint on the shoe is the way it fits in the laces at the top of the foot. The tongue could use more padding and the lockdown is odd. I'm afraid how it will feel on longer +10 mile runs.
I have 30 miles in these. Despite the low weight, these do feel heavier than one might think. Good protection but does not have the pop like the Velocity Nitro. I’ve run in three pairs of those. Still, a good shoe for easy paces. Don’t like the metatarsal pad that the sock liner has. Wish Puma would offer one without. Shoe laces a bit too short.
