PUMA Men Voyage Nitro Gore-Tex Running Shoes

Product Information

All in all, considering the now comfy fit, very effective traction, smooth ride, I can clearly see myself logging a bunch of my easy miles in them this winter. I usually suffer from very cold feet and the Voyage GTX will be quite a relief in that respect. Jeremy: A very stable ride, well protected, and predictable thanks to the consistent cushioning, stability and tremendous grip. I didn’t notice it at first but after a while taking them out, I noticed how similar the upper was in design to the Deviate Nitro. From the toe, the toe box angle, lateral and medial, heel shape and even the basis of the lacing all have the same design ethos. It’s not a copy-paste, but rather a similar approach.

There’s a lot to like about the build quality of the PUMA Fast-Trac Nitro. The only aspect I’d be concerned about would be the elastic pull tab on the heel. It doesn’t quite work as a pull tab and is quite stiff for elastic, which I feel may pull out over time if used often. With just a touch of engagement speed, I feel that the combination of the Nitro foam and the EVA carrier works much better and the midsole becomes smoother than at slower paces. And just like in the Puma Velocity Nitro which shares a similar construction, I appreciate that it is not mushy at all. This bit of very discrete firmness helps with stability and gives some energy to the ride.I question the webbing loop around the heel’s utility but appreciated the big tongue reflective highlight. The Optifit loops on the midfoot look like a resurgence of Saucony’s ISOFit tech that disappeared some years ago - and I think for good reason: a good thought after upper is enough to ensure a nice foothold - and the bootie construction of the Puma Voyage clearly delivers in this aspect. Using loops instead of standard eyelets is usually a nice simple way to allow some foot adaptation to a shoe’s fit, but I think that linking them to a piece of fabric going underfoot is not a necessity, and the global efficient fit of the Voyage don’t really need this kind of artifact.

The most important factor of its comfort lies in the Nitro foam. This is PUMA’s proprietary foam technology. It is infused with nitrogen to provide both cushioning and responsiveness when moving. In addition to this, it also reduces the overall weight of the shoe. Jeremy: This is my go-to deep winter running shoe, when snow covers the trails, or when I go running at a ski area. It is more of an all-uses mountain shoe, clearly performance oriented, but not is specifically for running. The fit is really nice (actually there’s a Sense S/Lab upper inside the external cover), it rides a lot firmer than the Puma, and it gets an equally efficient traction and is maybe a bit more effective in snow thanks to its deeper lugs. All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer.All are at a similar weight to the Voyage GTX but in non GTX, with the non GTX Voyage coming in an ounce lighter.. We have here a smoother more agile flow forward than those two if with a bit less forefoot cushion but more drop at 8mm for the Voyage vs. 4mm for Xodus and 6mm for TrailFly I appreciate more drop in a big shoe used on firmer terrain. Jacob : Overall I think the Puma Voyage Nitro GTX is a great shoe and I have really enjoyed wearing it for a variety of activities. I am using it as a multipurpose running, hiking, and walking shoe and it is excellent for all of those activities. The ride is stable, secure, comfortable, and protected. It runs well on a variety of terrain, including road, and has excellent traction. I have worn it every day since receiving it for testing and expect that to continue until winter. It is not the best choice for faster running as it is heavy and does not inspire speed, but for just getting out there, it is great. Delivery timescales are based on working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days. Mike P (10.0): (non GTX). My SG4 is 1.3 oz lighter, and the weight difference is felt. Although Puma protection is good, SG4 has even more. I find the fit of the SG4 to be better than Puma’s bootie construction. Some believe the SG upper to be narrow, but for me, version 4 is plenty wide enough - I’ve run a full 100 miler in them with no issue. I feel uncomfortable beyond 1 hour in the Pumas. I don’t see any advantage in having GTX for actual running, but if you need or want it, I would go for the SG GTX.
