The PUMA Velocity NITRO 4 HYROX is engineered to deliver a dynamic and comfortable running experience. Its single NITROFOAM midsole is the core of its performance, offering a plush yet springy feel that encourages a quicker turnover. This makes it an excellent choice for daily mileage, tempo runs, and even some faster-paced workouts where responsiveness is key. The PUMAGRIP outsole provides dependable traction across various surfaces, from paved roads to light trails, ensuring stability and confidence in different conditions. The engineered knit upper, reinforced with PWRTAPE, molds to the foot for a secure, breathable fit, preventing hotspots and maintaining comfort throughout your run. The "lightest Velocity yet" characteristic contributes to a sensation of effortlessness, making longer runs feel less taxing. For example, a runner tackling a varied route with both asphalt and compacted dirt paths would benefit from the shoe's versatile traction, while the responsive foam would assist in maintaining pace during speed segments. Its regular fit and rounded toe box offer general comfort for most foot shapes, accommodating the natural splay of toes during activity.
The PUMA Velocity NITRO 4 HYROX features a traditional lace-up closure.

Cleaning: To clean your shoes, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap or detergent mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth to scrub stained areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong material integrity.
