MEN’S PUMA RUNNING SHOES: USAIN’S CHOICE
Robust running shoes packed with power and personality. Usain Bolt’s race shoes have been by PUMA since he was just starting out at 16 years old. In his own words, PUMA has “stuck with [him] through everything”. The 100m and 200m men’s world record holder and eight-time Olympic champion credits this relationship for the legend he became, with PUMA spikes being his competing shoe of choice throughout his career. Could there be a more authentic seal of approval for a running shoe brand than a long-standing partnership with the world’s fastest man?
But don’t just take his word for it. Grab a pair and push yourself to be faster, stronger, fiercer in PUMA running shoes.
WHY PUMA MEN’S RUNNING SHOES?
Everyone already knows that PUMA shoes just look effortlessly cool. But what makes men’s PUMA running trainers such a great fit? The answer lies in the equilibrium achieved between the supremely soft foam cushioning of the outsole or sockliner for impact absorption and a lightweight construction to keep you on your toes. And they come in all shapes and sizes — from sleek and sporty, to a more technical, chunky appeal. The RS-X collection certainly falls into the latter category, with a silhouette based on a classic sports sneaker but taken to the extreme. Its exaggerated aesthetic and retro style take nothing away from the enhanced performance it offers. Whether it’s the PUMA RS-X, RS-Z, RS-0, or RS-Fast, “Running System” is signified by “RS”, so you know this line is truly focused on what matters. And it doesn’t look half bad as a statement piece with a casual outfit either. Explore the collection of RS running shoes today and see where they take you.
FAQs ON MEN’S PUMA RUNNING SHOES
Q. What should I consider when buying running shoes?
A. You need to consider your running style and goals. Will you be sprinting or competing against others? This will require a lighter shoe that doesn’t weigh you down. Distance running would favor a more resilient shoe with comfortable cushioning. And where will you be chasing that morning runner’s high? Will you be running on city roads or traveling further afield to hit the mountain trails? If you’re going off-road, traction and durability should be a priority.
Q. What kind of mileage can I expect from a running shoe?
A. The average is estimated at between 300 and 500 miles, depending on the habits of the wearer and the environment they are used in.
Q. Can’t I just run in my trainers?
A. A dedicated running shoe is certainly a better option. The main difference between running shoes and trainers is in the movement. When you run, your foot hits the floor in a heel-to-toe motion and with a higher impact. Running shoes are engineered with this in mind, thus providing a more flexible sole and cushioning for shock absorption, while trainers are usually wider around the toes to allow for more multidirectional movements. Despite these differences, running shoes are still great for comfortable walking or day-to-day wear, and are often stylish enough to double up as a casual shoe for everyday outfits.
