Product Information
Full details
The Puma MagMax Nitro 2 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and energetic performance during their runs. Their key benefit is the supermax cushioning provided by the updated NITRO midsole, offering a lighter, smoother, and more responsive ride. A potential caveat for some users might be the high stack height, which could feel different if you're accustomed to lower-profile shoes. This shoe enhances energy return, features a durable and lightweight outsole for traction, and boasts a premium, breathable mesh upper with a plush collar and knitted tongue for superior comfort from start to finish.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Wear with appropriate running socks.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole cushioning is designed to be durable, but performance can subtly decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on your running style and weight.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
While the PUMAGRIP outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slippery conditions can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.
Upper material feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free of dirt or debris. Over time, oils and sweat can slightly impede breathability. Gentle cleaning as per care instructions should help.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure.

- Washing Machine: It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can compromise the adhesives and structural integrity.
