Puma Liberate Nitro

Beginner

Partially recommended. At just 220g the Liberate Nitro is very light, with modest cushioning and support. For those just starting out without much leg strength, it may prove a little demanding. It suits runners with some base (3+ months of consistent running, around 80km monthly) moving into wanting a light, brisk ride. Its 20/28mm stack sits close to the ground and encourages natural gait. Start with short distances and extend as your feet adapt.
