Like any other racing shoe, the Fast-R Nitro Elite from PUMA is on the snug end of the fit spectrum. Don't expect a lot of room, especially on the forefoot. And to this, broad-footed runners agree.

Compared to other road running shoes, many find the Puma b36 enfants rose very sticky, which steps up its confidence-inspiring ride.
Weight that's barely there
On average, racing shoes weigh in at 208 g/7.3 oz. The Puma b36 enfants rose, however, only weighs in at 198 g/7 oz in US M 9. Although not crazy, in the racing scene, every gram counts.
The Puma b36 enfants rose is a no-no for easy runs
Unlike the Alphafly, which remains bouncy at all paces, the Fast-R feels dead and flat when walking and running slowly. This is because the midsole only comes to life when you push the pace. Other than that, it's a rigid ride.
