FAQs
What Makes PUMA’s Women’s Running Shoes Stand Out in New Zealand’s Activewear Market?
Thanks to research that’s responsible for our classic responsive midsoles and supportive fits that make longer distances comfortable, PUMA understands what runners are really after: reliability, breathability, cushioning, and grip. Add in lightweight construction and sleek silhouettes that transition seamlessly from workout to weekend, and you’ve got footwear that’s not just made to run—but made to move with you, wherever you're headed.
Which PUMA Cushioning Technologies Support Long-Distance Running for Women?
PUMA’s running sneakers for women are engineered with advanced cushioning technologies to support all kinds of runners. One of our most popular technologies, NITROFOAM™, delivers superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package. Think a nice bouncy feel with every stride, without the bulk weighing you down.
PUMA also uses SoftFoam+ on certain running shoes, PUMA’s ultra-plush sockliner that delivers instant step-in comfort and soft cushioning that lasts. It’s all about keeping your feet happy from the warm-up to the cooldown. Combined with CMEVA, PUMA’s compression-moulded EVA midsole, you get a lightweight, performance-focused feel that helps reduce foot fatigue — perfect for runners who demand all-day support without sacrificing speed.
How Can I Choose Between Neutral and Stability Running Shoes for Women?
It’s important to find the right shoes for when you’re running. Wearing the wrong footwear can seriously impact your running and can cause long-term injuries. If your foot strikes and rolls evenly, neutral shoes are likely your best match — they offer balanced cushioning without added support. But if your foot tends to roll inward (overpronate), stability shoes provide extra structure to help guide your stride and prevent discomfort. Not sure which type suits you? Head into your nearest PUMA store and try them on — feeling the difference is the best way to find your perfect fit.
How Do PUMA’s Running Shoes Cater to Both Competitive and Casual Female Runners?
PUMA’s women’s running shoes are designed to suit every kind of runner — from those chasing personal bests to those chasing the sunrise on a weekend jog. For competitive runners, shoes like the Deviate NITRO™ deliver maximum propulsion, lightweight responsiveness, and traction that holds up through race-day intensity. On the flip side, casual runners and walkers will love models with SoftFoam+ cushioning and CMEVA midsoles, which prioritise all-day comfort, shock absorption, and ease of wear.
Can PUMA’s Women’s Running Shoes Transition From Workouts to Casual Wear?
Absolutely. PUMA’s sport footwear lines are built for performance but styled for everyday life. With sleek silhouettes, breathable uppers, and cushioning tech like SoftFoam+, they’re just as comfortable during a workout as they are grabbing coffee or running errands. Lightweight and versatile, many styles feature neutral colourways and modern designs that pair effortlessly with activewear or casual outfits — so you can go from gym to street without missing a beat.
What Features in Puma’s Nitro Range Enhance Performance for Women Runners?
PUMA’s NITRO™ range is packed with performance-driven features tailored for women who want more out of every run. It's lightweight, springy, and absorbs impact so you can go longer, faster. Paired with PUMAGRIP on the outsole for unbeatable traction across varied surfaces, and women-specific fits that contour to your foot shape, the NITRO range helps you move naturally and powerfully.
How Does Puma Design Its Women’s Running Shoes With Kiwi Terrains in Mind?
Our lightweight women’s running shoes are rigorously tested across a variety of global landscapes — from rocky trails to urban footpaths — to ensure they hold up wherever your run takes you. Doesn’t matter if you’re pounding the pavement in Auckland or exploring the rugged coastal tracks of the South Island, PUMA shoes are built to perform.
