PUMA Enzo review

Who should buy the PUMA Enzo

Made available to address the needs of the fitness community, the PUMA Enzo is a lightweight workout shoe designed to deliver a comfortable ride for extended periods. It is a solid option if:

• If you are looking for a pair that could be a great light workout, long walks, and all-day casual use companion. 
• You are looking for a workout shoe that is of good quality, priced reasonably, and at the same time aesthetically appealing in design. 

Slip-resistant outsole

The outsole of the PUMA Enzo is made of rubber. This compound is durable and slip-resistant on most surfaces. Reinforcing the heel and toe sections is a layer of carbon rubber which is similar in composition as car tires to enhance its durability and traction.

The underside features lugs that offer traction on different types of surfaces. The forefoot utilizes flex grooves to facilitate natural foot flexion.

Shock-absorbent midsole

Like most training shoes from PUMA, the Enzo model employs the EVA foam. It is a lightweight cushioning unit that keeps the foot comfortable and protected by absorbing the shock caused by the foot making contact with the ground. The foam also does not easily compress to keep the foot steady during workouts.

Inside is a SoftFoam sock liner. This material provides soft, plush cushioning under the foot that keeps it comfortable at all times.

The PUMA Enzo's breathable upper

A breathable mesh gives the upper of the PUMA Enzo its foot-conforming fit. It keeps the foot chamber well-ventilated. It is designed to provide adequate support during cross-training.

Snug ankle section

The exaggerated collar aims to keep the ankle supported. It features an elastic band on both sides that allow the mouth of the trainer to stretch, making it easier to put on the shoe. It is also lightly padded at the back area to help keep the foot locked down and prevent accidental removal while the user is in motion.

The rear section features a synthetic material that works as an external heel counter. It holds the foot steady during dynamic routines. The extra material up top creates a pull loop which acts as leverage when the person is putting on the footwear.

Enhanced lateral support

It uses a lacing system that is integrated with the medial and lateral side panels. This setup works to improve the lateral support when the laces are tightened.
