Product Information
Full details
The Puma Electrify Nitro 5 trainers are designed for neutral runners seeking a balance between high-level cushioning and lightweight responsiveness. These versatile shoes excel on road surfaces and light trails, offering a secure fit and breathable upper that keeps feet comfortable during long-distance training or fast-paced workouts. While they offer impressive energy return through the Nitro foam technology, runners who require significant stability for overpronation may find the design better suited for neutral gaits.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during long runs
Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces at the midfoot before starting your run.
Excessive dirt accumulation on the mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it off with a dry, soft brush before attempting spot cleaning with water.
Slippage in the heel area
Re-lace the shoes using the final eyelet to create a runner's loop (heel lock) for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Puma Electrify Nitro 5 trainers, consider the following maintenance and usage tips:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your trainers using mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and mechanical agitation can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to prevent material degradation and to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
