  • Despite being labeled as a running shoe on the official Puma website, the construction of the Puma Cell Surin 2 FM makes it a suitable choice for gym use as well as cross-training.
  • The shoe takes its name from the 10CELL technology found in its heel unit. This cell-like structure is designed to deliver reliable cushioning for a more responsive ride and impact protection.
  • The trainer also employs a TPU shank which wraps around the bottom of the heel and extends to the midfoot. This lightweight yet rugged material provides stability by ensuring controlled inward rolling of the arch and the heel.
  • A synthetic leather upper is utilized to deliver a snug and supportive coverage. It has perforations in the heel and forefoot sections to keep the interiors aerated. The shoe inherits its silhouette from the Puma Tazon 6 FM, another popular workout shoe from the brand.

The shoe utilizes a rubber material in its external sole unit. It remains lightweight while delivering reliable traction for both gym and urban surfaces. It uses textured pods which are strategically placed to add durability in the high-wear areas.

In the heel section of the shoe is the 10CELL technology. It is a lightweight yet durable cell-like compound which is designed for impact absorption and a high energy return. It also provides reliable heel cushioning for added comfort and protection.

A Soft Foam Comfort Insert is placed inside the footwear for consistent padding. It is a memory-hybrid foam which not only cushions the entire foot but also prevents the heat and odor from building up inside the shoe. The insert is not removable.

A sturdy TPU shank is added in the midfoot and rear sections of the platform. It helps in controlling the motion of the heel and the arch to prevent overpronation, an excessive inward rolling of the foot.

The upper unit of the Puma Cell Surin 2 FM uses a synthetic leather material with perforations in the forefoot and rearfoot sections. It aims to provide breathable coverage, keeping the foot cool and dry all throughout the workout. It also has a soft lining for enhanced fit and comfort.

The shoe has a traditional lace-up closure that allows the wearer to make the fit as tight or as loose as desired. It is designed for a snug fit.

The moderately padded heel collar and tongue give added comfort by providing the upper parts of the foot some soft cushioning. They also deliver a secure lockdown, keeping the foot in place.

The shoe features the famous Puma No. 1 logo on the lateral side and on the tongue of the shoe. A Puma Formstrip is placed on both sides for structural integrity and added support.
