Puma Velocity Nitro 4
Beginner
If you are just starting running and still adapting your form, the Velocity Nitro 4 is a solid choice. The cushioning and responsiveness are moderate — not too firm, not overly soft to cause instability, with adequate joint protection. It does not require any specific running technique, making it a beginner-friendly, safe-transition shoe. A reliable choice for your first running shoe.
