Key benefits include an ultra-plush ride with NITROFOAM and reliable traction from the PUMAGRIP outsole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?
The MagMax NITRO 2 are specifically designed with overpronation in mind. While some neutral runners may find them comfortable due to the cushioning, they might not offer the optimal support profile compared to shoes designed for neutral pronation.
What is the primary benefit of NITROFOAM cushioning?
NITROFOAM provides a highly responsive and lightweight cushioning that delivers an ultra-plush ride, absorbing impact effectively and returning energy to make each step feel more effortless.
How should I clean my MagMax NITRO 2 trainers?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap using a damp cloth or soft brush. Always air dry at room temperature and avoid machine washing or high heat.
What does the 8mm heel-to-toe drop mean for my run?
An 8mm drop is considered moderate. It typically encourages a balanced foot strike and is suitable for a wide range of runners and running styles.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The PUMAGRIP outsole provides steady traction suitable for light, dry trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running and may not offer the aggressive grip or protection needed for technical or muddy trails.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 270g for a UK size 8, offering a good balance between substantial cushioning and manageable weight.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the MagMax NITRO 2 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. If discomfort persists after a few wears, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.
Upper material feels less breathable than expected
Ensure the engineered mesh is not obstructed by dirt or debris. If the issue persists, it might be related to ambient temperature or humidity.
