FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Velocity Nitro 5 is designed as a daily trainer and is durable enough to handle the high mileage required for marathon preparation.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the PUMAGRIP is very durable, these shoes are engineered specifically for road running and may lack the necessary rock protection and tread depth for technical trails.
How should I clean the engineered mesh?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Never soak the shoes.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Puma Velocity Nitro 5 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Are these neutral or stability shoes?
These are neutral trainers, designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or medial posting.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, performance running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels sliding inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle and midfoot.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the rubber; clean the outsole with a soft brush and water.
Midsole foam feels stiff
The NITROFOAM may need a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to reach its full responsive potential.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, focus on proper fit and maintenance. When putting on the shoes, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to maintain a secure midfoot lock. As these are neutral running trainers, they are compatible with most standard neutral foot types. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying; instead, remove the insoles and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
