Jacob : Overall I think the Puma Voyage Nitro GTX is a great shoe and I have really enjoyed wearing it for a variety of activities. I am using it as a multipurpose running, hiking, and walking shoe and it is excellent for all of those activities. The ride is stable, secure, comfortable, and protected. It runs well on a variety of terrain, including road, and has excellent traction. I have worn it every day since receiving it for testing and expect that to continue until winter. It is not the best choice for faster running as it is heavy and does not inspire speed, but for just getting out there, it is great. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. But after some miles, the upper gained a bit of stretch (and I think the GTX layer might be the cause for the initial rigidity) and I did not feel excessive pressure point up front.

The most important factor of its comfort lies in the Nitro foam. This is PUMA’s proprietary foam technology. It is infused with nitrogen to provide both cushioning and responsiveness when moving. In addition to this, it also reduces the overall weight of the shoe. Puma provides a nice chunk of curled up outsole for the toe cap to protect the front toe area, with extra plastic here around the toes on the uppers.The toe box is quite a bit more narrow and shallow than other trail shoes. There was a fair amount of discomfort on my toes as I descended the trail. I would steer runners away from these shoes if they live in areas with a lot of elevation. The shoe could be a toenail destroyer if you use them on the wrong trails. Delivery timescales are based on working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days.

Mike P (10.0): (non GTX). My SG4 is 1.3 oz lighter, and the weight difference is felt. Although Puma protection is good, SG4 has even more. I find the fit of the SG4 to be better than Puma’s bootie construction. Some believe the SG upper to be narrow, but for me, version 4 is plenty wide enough - I’ve run a full 100 miler in them with no issue. I feel uncomfortable beyond 1 hour in the Pumas. I don’t see any advantage in having GTX for actual running, but if you need or want it, I would go for the SG GTX. Mike P (10.0): (Xodus 10) Xodus are surprisingly slightly heavier but run much better and are especially adept in more technical terrain. Puma may have a slight edge in forefoot protection, but that’s about it. The Optifit loops on the midfoot look like a resurgence of Saucony’s ISOFit tech that disappeared some years ago - and I think for good reason: a good thought after upper is enough to ensure a nice foothold - and the bootie construction of the Puma Voyage clearly delivers in this aspect. Using loops instead of standard eyelets is usually a nice simple way to allow some foot adaptation to a shoe’s fit, but I think that linking them to a piece of fabric going underfoot is not a necessity, and the global efficient fit of the Voyage don’t really need this kind of artifact.Just like Jacob, I’ve also used it for lots of walking (dog walks for that matter) and they’re also very comfortable for that use, which is not always the case with trail running shoes (Endorphin Trail for instance is much less comfortable in that use).
