PUMA Men's Mobium Elite V2 Running Shoe

The PUMA Mobium Elite V2 is an interesting running shoe. I am a heel striker with high arches; these shoes aren't ideal for me because they are very narrow and slightly small in all dimensions compared with other brands (I typically run in ASICS, Saucony, and Brooks products). They seem to cater to people with relatively low foot volume; with my high arches I could almost not get the laces knotted when laced correctly. The Mobium Elite V2 has a lot of PUMA eccentricities (e.g. the Expansion Pods and Mobium Band) that are supposed to adapt to your gait and increase running efficiency. Despite the shoes running narrow, I actually found them quite comfortable to run in, and found myself naturally landing on my midfoot more than heel; this feels more like a minimalist zero-drop shoe than anything, but the cushioning is good (my preference would be a bit more in the heel) and the Mobium Band really does create a unique feel that I liked and felt very secure in.If you tend toward minimalist shoes and especially if your feet are narrower than average, the Mobium Elite V2 is ideal. Despite the narrow fit and low internal volume I like running in mine and have no qualms recommending them.

I own 3 pairs of the Elite v2s, I have the blue/black pair, the fluorescent yellow/green pair and a black to gray fade with orange. I've NEVER found a more comfortable shoe. I watched the videos of how they created the shoes and why they designed it with the figure-8 flex wire and pads on the bottom that actually articulate as your foot moves. Don't worry about tying these too tight. I am used to tying most of my shoes rather lose but these are meant to be tied tight. The whole upper of the shoe acts as an extension of your sock, or a second sock. The top of the shoe moves, stretches and twists with your foot. With these shoes, your shoe moves to accommodate your foot, not the other way around. A true innovation in footwear. I am disabled and have to use a walker/cane to walk on a good day and after having to go out to my last doctor's appointment and hospital visit not only did my feet not hurt, my back felt better than it did when I wore my Shox.

This is my second pair of Puma Mobium Elites. My last pair were the original Version 1. These are hands-down the best running shoes I have ever used. They're best used on asphalt, and they're supposed to be designed for speed. All I can say is I've used the shoes on asphalt, rubber track, trail/woods. They're great all-around shoes, they're very comfortable and they'll handle any abuse you throw at them. I would NOT recommend them for use as primary trail shoes, because they do not hold up as well off-road. The flex-tow technology thingy is very cool and makes running much more enjoyable. I imagine Under Armour's new Apollo shoes are probably similar in performance. Their design seems to imitate the Puma Mobiums a little. Either way, they're a good shoe at a great price...stock up!!!

I have no structural problems related to running mechanics and prefer more minimalist shoe. This shoe seems to be a near perfect balance of light, cushioning for 200+ pound runner, neutral heel height, and stable heel counter. I have low volume foot and have had many shoes where laces pull sides of shoe together and eyelets almost touch but not this shoe. I would suggest this is best for the mid to fore foot striker, no structural foot problems, narrow side of width spectrum and lower instep / volume foot type runner.

These are the best mid-foot striker running shoes I have ever found. I had the green ones and ordered these before the others even wore out. The only thing I have noticed is that the different colors have different softness to the rubber on the sole. The Green is very soft and super good on wet surfaces. The Black bottom is a harder compound which will last longer but is not as good if you run in the wet. I haven't tried the blue (yet!).These shoes are awesomely comfortable. I highly recommend them.

This shoe has the standard PUMA width, which is a bit narrow (and fits my foot well). The design helps to run on the forefoot (light heal impact), excellent running feeling. For those running a lot, probably nice to overlap with your old shoes in the transition period before you get used to the "forefoot" feeling, and to reduce the risk of injuries.So far, this shoe has met my expectations (I wanted a shoe to get a more forefoot feeling). Light and comfortable, yet good cushioning (for a person weighing 80 kg / 180 lbs.)

These shoes are incredibly comfortable after just about a day. The arch support is beyond belief. I had no idea what I was missing. I tried on my older pair of Adidas and it was night and day, the Adidas didn't support my feet at all compared to these.Unfortunately the material used on these shoes are too shoddy, and easily torn. If you expect these to last more than a year, you're not going to be happy.

Received these shoes very fast, I am glad I was able to locate them again they are by far my favorite running shoes. Whether its running a 10k,5k, night time walk or just running to the fridge during half time these shoes are great and make me feel as though I can run faster with every step(If I run that is)
