GURU TIP:  This shoe runs a bit long so size down if you are in-between sizes. 

TECH TIP:  How about a running shoe that is great and won’t break the bank?  An all-in-one neutral running shoe for any distance, the Velocity Nitro 2 is a lightweight and sleek update to the Run PUMA roster. Featuring NITRO foam for exceptional responsiveness and ultimate cushioning, this upgrade to the original is a well-fitting and durable shoe for a smooth ride. Built for comfort at whatever speed, the versatile runner also provides enhanced visibility through reflective accents, so you can hit your stride on your time. PUMAGRIP offers multi-surface traction, from treadmill to track. 

BUY THIS SHOE IF: The PUMA Velocity Nitro 2 offers a seriously competent and comfortable all-rounder running shoe in a fairly priced package. With a soft, plush midsole, insane grip, and looks to boot, this is claimed one of the best shoes this year, and a gift that keeps giving.

DON’T BUY THIS SHOE IF: you have concerns about upper durability.  While the midsole seems to get great mileage there have been input about the upper not being as durable.
