Let me preface my review by saying that I have been running in
Puma running
shoes for the last 5 years (
Puma Tenos, Eutopia, etc.) with some random excursions into NB,
Adidas,
Asics, and
Brooks because
Puma keeps changing their shoe line-up (
Puma, stop it!). I know
Puma is often thought of as a fashion brand, but their running
shoes have outperformed other brands for me over the years and have been my little secret. Anyways, I always come back to Pumas and these
shoes don't disappoint. I prefer to run in lightweight, cushioned, neutral
shoes, and the Faas 500 checks all of those boxes. The shoe doesn't offer a lot of lateral support so if you pronate a lot these may not be the shoe for you. But, I would definitely recommend these for the efficient runner.
