Comfort and Fit: Padded tongue and collar: Extra padding in these areas helps prevent chafing and blisters, especially during long runs or intense workouts. SoftFoam Comfort insole: This is a proprietary PUMA technology that provides cushioning and adapts to the shape of your foot for a comfortable, personalized feel. Midfoot saddle: This design element wraps around the midfoot, providing a secure and supportive fit to reduce slippage during movement.
Cushioning and Impact Protection: Cushioned midsole: The midsole is the layer between the insole and outsole, and cushioning here is crucial for absorbing shock and reducing stress on your joints. EVA heel unit: EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight and shock-absorbent material often used in midsoles and heel units to further enhance impact protection.
Stability and Support: TPU shank: TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a rigid material that provides torsional stability, meaning it resists twisting and helps keep your foot stable during lateral movements.
Breathability and Durability: Mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays: The mesh upper allows for airflow to keep your feet cool and dry, while the synthetic leather overlays provide structure, support, and durability.
PUMA Cat Logo at toe cap and heel: This is the classic PUMA logo, adding a stylish touch to the shoe.
