Who should buy
For those immersed in the PUMA universe or seeking a durable racer with excellent grip and stability, we've discovered that the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy emerges as a top-tier option. In our tests, its versatility and plush midsole just shone. We found it's great for everything from short to long intervals, races, and even daily runs if needed.
Who should NOT buy
However, we think that you should steer clear of this PUMA if you:

- favour high-stacked shoes for long-distance races—JJJJound And PUMA Go Maroon On These PUMA Suedes Met Puma-logo in rubber

Heel stack
Here's a time when our findings deviate considerably from what the brand says. Our meticulous measurements using a calliper revealed a heel height of 31.1 mm, which is substantially lower than stated by PUMA (36 mm).

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 31.1 mm |
Average | 34.2 mm |
Puma Rs-350 Og Mens Shoes Taos Taupe-peacoat 365574-04 | Forefoot stack
We ran into a similar problem with the forefoot. PUMA's advertised 28 mm of foam fell short, with our lab measurements revealing only 25.4 mm. While not as huge a discrepancy as in the heel, it's still far from ideal.
For today's marathon-running standards, this under-30-mm thickness seems subpar, especially when most competition shoes boast a foam layer exceeding 30 mm in the same region in order to protect your muscles for the last third of the race.

Drop

While this isn't necessarily a drawback—many experienced runners, like midfoot or forefoot strikers, might even find it advantageous—it's essential for us to emphasise that this actual measurement doesn't align with PUMA's advertised specifications.

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 5.7 mm |
Average | 8.6 mm |
Midsole softness
Our durometer tests reveal a pleasantly soft compound in the Nitro Elite foam that we measured at 14.8 HA of softness. This foam Спортивные брюки из черной ткани Puma:
- Durability: By adding EVA to the equation, the midsole's lifespan significantly extends.
- Affordability: PEBA, while effective, is really expensive. EVA, on the other hand, is an ultra-cheap foam.
The end product delivers a soft and springy run, although it doesn't quite match the bounce level of the PEBA-only foams found in ASICS or Nike racing shoes.

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 14.8 HA |
Average | 20.9 HA |
Midsole softness in cold (%)
Even after a 20-minute nap in our freezer, the Nitro Elite stayed as soft as a sponge at 19.9 HA.
However, there's a catch. While it's true the Nitro Elite remains soft in cold temperatures, it does harden up way more (34.7%) than its PEBA or TPEE competitors, which typically fall in the 5-15% ballpark. So, why does this happen?
The answer is quite simple! PEBA performs outstandingly under cold conditions, but EVA, unfortunately, does not. Since the Nitro Elite foam is a blend of PEBA and EVA, we observed a result that's pretty much what we expected—an average performance.

Insole thickness
At 3.3 mm, the insole is leaner than what we usually find in the lab. However, just like happened with the outsole, the need to cut weight in a racing shoe dictates this approach. Every gramme counts, and indeed, the insole presents a good opportunity for such diet.

PUMA PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy is true to size (28 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
PUMA does another trick here in order to boost stability. We found that they mixed a narrow upper (91.6 mm) with a wide midsole, thus obtaining an stable and solid ride. However, there's a catch—it leaves less room inside the shoe. And that's a problem for many of us.
Our testing reveals that runners with medium-to-wide feet might find this shoe a bit tight, while those with narrow or narrow-to-medium feet will likely find them comfortable for racing.

Average | 98.5 mm |
Puma 2 products
In an interesting move to add a bit of extra space in the toebox—and trying to please more runners despite its narrow toebox—the German brand designed the big toe area to mimic most training shoes. It's almost the average size at 72.8 mm, and that's a good thing.

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 72.8 mm |
Average | 78.4 mm |
Toebox feel
After some back-and-forth, we decided to label the fit of this shoe as "medium" for our test, but it’s teetering on the edge of being tight. Runners with medium-to-wide feet can try to go half-size up, and those with wide feet must stay away from this one.

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | Medium |
Midfoot feel
The midfoot fit is truly impressive, positioning this shoe among the best options for those with flat feet. It's right up there with the Спортивні костюми Puma весняні+ Чорні чоловічі кросівки puma uprise mesh.

Heel feel
The heel is an absolute dream to slip into, especially for a racing shoe. We had no heel slippage during our test runs.

Stability
Lateral stability test
The stability of the PUMA PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy stands as one of its most noteworthy features when compared to other racing shoes. Contrary to our initial expectation of the typical instability found in racing shoes, we were greeted with a pleasant surprise by its secure ride.
PUMA has incorporated design elements from daily training shoes into this racer to enhance stability. The noticeably wide midfoot, unusual for a racing shoe, is evident in the photo above. Its similarity to the Deviate Nitro 2—a training shoe—is pretty Produkte.
Torsional rigidity
Whenever we encounter shoes with carbon-fibre plates in our lab, we anticipate a maximum level of rigidity. True to our expectations, this shoe delivers a 5/5 in our manual assessment.

Average | 3.4 |
Heel counter stiffness
This test shows the total opposite of the last one. Heel counters in racing shoes are usually flexible, especially with plastic-like materials like the ones in the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2.0 or this PUMA. So, the lowest score possible (1/5) is what the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy ended up with.
If you experience any kind of heel slippage, try an alternative lacing technique.

Midsole width - forefoot
Although the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy is slightly narrower than the average shoe, at 109.8 mm we still view it as wide for its purpose. This smart tactic from the German brand enhances stability and positions the shoe competitively against its rivals, making it a clear selling point for many long distance runners.

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 109.8 mm |
Average | 114.1 mm |
Midsole width - heel
This theme continues to the back of the shoe, where we found that, at 84.7 mm, it's 7.7 mm wider than the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2.0 and a jaw-dropping 9.7 mm wider than the Vaporfly Next% 2.

PUMA RS-Fast Intro Black Green
Here's the deal. Кроссовки баскетбольные puma court rider are fantastic for racing, but they can be uncomfortable for everything else. That's why companies are introducing nylon plates in training shoes that aren't as rigid, yet still provide some carbon plate benefits.
Well, after our flexibility test, we found that the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy, with its "PWRPLATE" carbon plate, finds itself squarely in between these two at 41N. It's significantly less rigid than your average racing speedster, but it's also firmer than the typical shoe and the majority of nylon-plated ones.
This is important because not all runners prefer ultra-stiff running shoes—like those one with metatarsalgia—or perhaps you're searching for a versatile shoe suitable for both training and racing. If that's the case, this shoe strikes the perfect balance.
PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 41.0N |
Average | 28.1N |
Stiffness in cold (%)
The same Lilac that we experienced about midsole softness happened with the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy regarding stiffness. When we tested it in cold conditions, it exhibited a slightly more rigid behaviour at 57.3N, being less pleasant.
At 39.8% of change, the Deviate is keeping in line with the whole PEBA+EVA foam behaviour. We were gearing up for a typical, nothing-to-write-home-about change aaaand bingooo—that’s what we got!
Definitely not the world-class result that you should expect from a £200 shoe.

Weight
The PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy from PUMA doesn't just feel light—it's incredibly featherweight. Weighing a mere 7.1 oz (200g), it's a whopping 34% lighter than the average running shoe.

Breathability
The moment we picked up the shoe in our lab, we immediately sensed its fantastic airflow. Its upper, made of a plasticky material, breathes with minuscule holes that encourage airflow and effortlessly release heat.
Even under a crazy heatwave, running in this shoe resulted in neither blisters nor discomfort. The PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy it's definitely a safe bet even for our wild 20-mile summer long runs.
We were left with no alternative but to award this PUMA shoe a perfect score (5/5) in our breathability test.
The PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy design goes above and beyond, not only dissipating heat through the tongue area—like most running shoes—but also delivering superior airflow in its toe box, which is a must for long distance shoes.

Now, let's move to one of our favourite tests: the microscope.
The breathability secrets of the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy reveal themselves under our microscope. As you can observe, thousands of ventilation holes result from the unique threading of this synthetic mesh. Air and heat can escape without any issue.

Durability
The PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy from PUMA doesn't just feel light—it's incredibly featherweight. Weighing a mere 7.1 oz (200g), it's a whopping 34% lighter than the average running shoe.
Toebox durability
Aside from a few exceptions, a thin mesh intended for racing typically implies that the upper isn't overly resistant to abrasion.
This assumption held true in our lab when we tested the Nitro Elite against our Dremel. The machine made one of the largest holes we've ever seen in this test. Unfortunately for PUMA, that results in a score of just 1 out of 5 from us.
The Nike Alphafly Next% 2 is one of those exceptions. It's important to note that we tested both shoes under the same conditions, applying a force of 3.2N at 10K RPM.

Contrary to the upper, the heel tells a more impressive tale. The sturdy material PUMA uses to protect the heel collar stood up remarkably well to our Dremel. With an admirable resistance to wear and tear, it earned a solid 4 out of 5!

Outsole hardness
Transitioning to the outsole, we observed a notably low value (71.8 HC) in our durometer test, which is typical—and desirable—for a racing shoe.
Similar to car or Formula 1 tyres, the softer the compound, the greater the grip. It's essential to remember this shoe isn't designed for everyday training—although PumaGrip it's a compound renowned for its durability, so it definitely can be used for that purpose.
Another standout feature of this PUMA shoe is the generous cover of rubber it boasts, more than you'll find on most racing shoes. This results in truly impressive durability, which makes this shoe also fantastic for interval training or running in other surfaces.

PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy | 71.8 HC |
Average | 79.7 HC |
Outsole thickness
Of course, a racing shoe equals thin outsole. Adding thicker rubber would increase weight, which isn't ideal when the goal is to race as quickly as possible. A measurement of 1.9 mm aligns perfectly with other world-class competition shoes that we also tested in our lab, such as the Спортивні костюми Puma весняні+ or the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3.

Tongue padding
Lace bite it's a common problem and it usually traces back to those paper-thin tongues in racing shoes. So imagine our reaction when we saw the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy. Despite its racing approach, it sports a huge amount of padding in the tongue.
To paint a clear picture, let's crunch the numbers. This PUMA's tongue padding, at 5.1 mm of thickness, outpaces the competition by 4x or 5x. Let's put this into context:
- It's a whopping 4.2 mm thicker than the tongue in the Nike Vaporfly Next% 2
- It surpasses the Plecaki puma sole+ by 4.3 mm
- Puma Black Dandelion High Risk Red 10 $110.00 Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 by a solid 3.9 mm

We've got to hand it to PUMA for their out-of-the-box thinking in many areas. Take the tongue gusset as an example. It's unique in that it's only fixed partially to the shoe on one side, leaving the other free. This unconventional approach isn't something we see every day in our lab.

Breaking away from the pack of racing shoes that often glue down their insoles—making them, in theory, non-removable—PUMA takes a Grey path. Third party insoles and orthotics are not a problem in the PUMA La Liga Langärmliges Baselayer-T-Shirt in Navy.
