FAQs
What is NITROFOAM™?
NITROFOAM™ is Puma's advanced cushioning technology that provides a lightweight, soft, and highly responsive feel, enhancing energy return with every step.
Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?
The MagMax NITRO 2 are classified as 'Stability' shoes. While they offer a supportive ride, runners who do not require specific stability features may still find them comfortable due to the advanced cushioning.
How often should I replace my MagMax NITRO 2 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (or 480-800 kilometers), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, reduced cushioning, or new aches and pains.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they offer good cushioning, their design is primarily for running. For activities requiring lateral stability and grip, such as cross-training, dedicated trainers might be more suitable.
What is the weight of the Puma MagMax NITRO 2?
The trainers weigh approximately 275 grams for a UK size 8.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.
What surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for asphalt and other hard, paved running surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new cushioning systems. Try flexing the shoe gently or running a short distance; the noise often resolves itself. Ensure no debris is trapped between sole layers.
Slightly tight fit initially
The NITROFOAM™ can feel firm at first. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for asphalt, extreme wet conditions can affect grip on any shoe. Exercise caution when running on wet pavement. The outsole tread may wear down over time, reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Puma MagMax NITRO 2 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for running on asphalt and other hard, paved surfaces. They are not recommended for use on trails, tracks, or uneven terrain, as the outsole grip and cushioning are optimized for road conditions.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes can also extend their lifespan.
