PUMA IGNITE 3

£85 A prime example of Puma doing what it does well – offering perfectly good shoes that are reliable, comfortable and reasonably priced. The Ignite 3 is an excellent shoe for heavier runners looking for a mix of support and speed. The essential DNA has not changed from version 2 but the tweaks made have all been positive: reshaped outsole lugs for greater traction and flexibility, a more breathable mesh, a comfier sockliner that prpvides gentle arch support, more durable outsole rubber and a snugger heel counter to keep your foot locked in place better. Lighter, more efficient runners might find it on the clunky side, but for plenty of others there is much about this great value shoe to commend here.
