Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results
Runner's World Awards: Best Buy


We Say: A stable shoe at a reasonable price, the Theron features a plug of hexagonal-shaped DuoCELL cushioning in the heel for impact protection. In the forefoot, Puma embeds IdCELL foam for more efficient toe-off. The mesh upper provides a comfortable, snug fit. With this update, Puma elongated the outsole lugs in hopes of improving cushioning, but our Shoe Lab tests showed that the shoe remains relatively firm, making it a good choice for bigger runners with normal arches.
