Puma Faas 300 S

The PUMA Faas 300 S  is an award-winning training/neutral running shoe that is considered as a more reinforced and strengthened version of the PUMA Faas 350. Although not to be confused with the Faas 300, the 300 S still shares a few similarities with it. The 300 S displays a more toughened entirety that allows faster, gradual transitions. The 300 S endorses itself as “everything a runner needs and wants, now in a running shoe form.”

Arch support and pronation control

With the 4mm heel drop, the arch structure is not that noticeable, and for others may not be that supportive to the heel. This gives the shoe its low to medium arch value. This also shows the type of pronation control it offers. The 300 S is best suited for the underpronator or supinator, since it only has enough cushioning that offers the runner’s feet the necessary protection but not the support.

Terrain

The 300 S has been marketed as neutral running shoe that is best suited for road races, fast workouts and trainings, and recreational usage. Runners have the freedom to utilize the 300 S for off-road or trail running, but that may be subject to much faster diminishing and traction problems that are dependent on the foot type of the runner/user.

Use

As previously mentioned, the 300 S is best suited for road running or racing, and is an efficient training buddy since its cushioning system provides enough support for workouts. For runners who wish to take the 300 S on more recreational activities, the 300 S will prove itself to be a satisfactory and adequate running shoe.

Durability

Neutral running shoes, whether designed for tough trail or off-road running or road racing, are commonly designed to be resilient against naturally caused wears on the entirety of the shoe. PUMA has professionally seen to it that the durability is a hundred percent reliable, harness and exhausting their state-of-the-art and classic technologies so as to incorporate a tough and comfortable feel of the shoe. In terms of outsole resilience, the presence of a high anti-abrasion material has been strategically placed in key areas to lessen the chances of fast and rapid diminishing. The life of the shoe is further extended through the material of its upper, which has been crafted out of a breathable mesh that properly regulates heat ventilation to keep the runner’s foot very comfortable. The cushioning found in the insole and midsole also contribute to the toughness of the shoe through being able to absorb impact and being able to distribute it evenly throughout the shoe, starting from the heel all the way to the toe box area. Another characteristic/feature that adds to the durability of the shoe is its flexibility. Flexible shoes are often found to be tougher since they prevent more chances of unwanted creasing that gradually leads to wearing.

Outsole

The bulk of the outsole material is called the Evertrack, a high anti-abrasion rubber compound that is placed in high wear areas, adding a substantial amount of durability. A “Die-cut Blown Rubber” material specifically found only at the outsole adds more cushioning that is already provided by the midsole. The more natural ride provided by the 300 S is also made possible by the flex grooves found in its outsole, which ultimately adds maximum bendability that in turn, allows faster transitions while running or training.

Midsole

The midsole of the 300 S boasts the bulk of the more reinforced technologies harnessed by the brand. PUMA has made added cushioning more reliable and prominent through the use of the FAAS Foam incorporated in the midsole. This was engineered in the midsole to ensure a properly aided running gait. Considered as a low-stability performance shoe, the 300 S midsole has the FAAS Stability Zone technology, a system that provides doubled stability without the usual TPU lacing system. These technologies prop up the midsole height much more noticeably, increasing its medial flare. In addition to these, the 300 S features forefoot flex grooves and lateral flex grooves that slows down pronation rate and enables an easier, gradual foot transition.

Upper

A mono mesh has strategically been placed on the upper of the 300 S to provide the shoe optimal breathability and comfort. The whole mesh that covers the upper on the other hand is purely made out of air mesh that is responsible for heat ventilation, keeping the runner’s foot cool and dry. The snug feel of the insole is enabled by the Forefoot Lockdown technology, which locks and anchors the foot down to the midsole to provide more security. Lastly, the sock-liner technology of the shoe is called the Molded Eco Ortholite Sock-liner, which regulates foot hygiene by being anti-microbial, all the while providing maximum step-in comfort.

For faster workouts, training, performances and minimal running, the Faas 300 S is a wise and agile option. It does not forego its other features through its large aspect of being flexible. Its other features are totally not restrictive. In summation, all of its technologies make it a very appealing option for any active runner.
