Elite Athlete Aisling Ryle recently tested the Puma Elites for HYROX by running a half marathon.
I chose a Puma shoe because I was keen to try out that official HYROX affiliated brand. A lot of the the elite athletes race in Puma so I wanted to try them out before the worlds to see if that would be suitable. I wanted a shoe with carbon plate but still to have good stability to support in stations like the wall balls/lunges/sleds. Previous to this I have only raced in alpha flys which feel great on the runs but don’t have much stability for the HYROX stations.
The shoes felt great in the half marathon. Super light weight & bouncy. No issues with blisters on first wear/ breaking them in, which is something I have had to deal with with new shoes in the past.

I would highly recommend them to HYROX or hybrid athletes as a race day shoe or for runners targeting their personal bests in half marathons/ marathons. I will be saving them for race day and not wearing them for training/ every day runs.
I will wear them for HYROX worlds and any other HYROX race I have coming up.
