Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: There's more to this new Puma shoe than cool looks. First, a plastic arch plate extends back through the heel, which gives the Taranis a firm, stable platform, and the honeycomb DuoCell cushioning material gives it a soft feel. Puma added even softer cushioning foam, IdCell, in the forefoot to further absorb forefoot shock and smooth the heel-to-toe transition. The upper features few overlays and a very breathable single layer of mesh. Recommended for normal pronators or mild overpronators.

"The shoe fit well, especially in the forefoot, though the plastic in the arch took a while to get used to." -Christian Koether, 28, Allentown —Jill Milberg, 45, Allentown
