Product Information
Full details
The PUMA Maxima Pro Road Running Shoe is designed for adult runners seeking a blend of superior comfort and responsive performance. Its key benefit is the ultra-cushioned ProFoam midsole combined with a durable ProTread outsole for multi-surface traction, making it suitable for various training environments. A potential consideration is its 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which may require adjustment for runners accustomed to zero-drop shoes. This model features a breathable technical mesh upper with recycled materials, premium overlays, and Formstrip branding.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Maxima Pro best suited for?
The Maxima Pro is ideal for neutral runners seeking a cushioned and comfortable shoe for daily training, long runs, and general fitness activities. It's suitable for various surfaces due to its multi-surface traction.
How does the ProFoam midsole differ from traditional foam?
ProFoam is a lightweight, high-rebound EVA foam that provides instant cushioning and a more responsive, energetic ride compared to some traditional, denser midsole foams.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Maxima Pro features a ProTread outsole with multi-surface traction, making it capable of handling light trails. However, for technical or rugged trails, a shoe specifically designed for trail running with more aggressive lugs would be recommended.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The shoe features a technical mesh upper that offers some flexibility. However, it's always best to try them on or check specific sizing guides, as the fit can vary.
What does the 8mm drop mean for my running?
An 8mm heel-to-toe drop means the shoe is slightly higher at the heel than the forefoot. This is a common drop that suits many runners, promoting a balanced stride. If you typically run in zero-drop shoes, there might be an adjustment period.
How much of the upper is made from recycled materials?
The shoe's upper is made with at least 30% recycled materials, contributing to PUMA's commitment to sustainability.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information is typically handled by the retailer. Please check with the point of purchase for details on the warranty specific to your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. The technical mesh and cushioning will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the ProTread outsole is designed for multi-surface traction, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Discomfort after initial runs.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. The 8mm drop may require a brief adaptation period if you are used to lower-drop shoes. Consult a running specialist if discomfort persists.

- Use of recycled materials in the upper.
- Durable construction for regular use.
Cons
- The 8mm drop might not suit runners who prefer zero-drop shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The Maxima Pro is designed as a road running shoe but its ProTread outsole offers multi-surface traction, making it suitable for light trails and gym use. It is generally compatible with neutral running gaits.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
