Mizuno Neo Vista 2 vs PUMA MagMax NITRO 2

The PUMA MagMax NITRO 2 and the Mizuno Neo Vista 2 are two max-cushioned running shoes that offer dramatically different cruising experiences. The Mizuno shoe sits 5 mm higher and uses a plastic plate to stabilise the mammoth stack of foam. The ride of the Neo Vista 2 is very bouncy but can start to feel wobbly if you try to pick up the pace. The MagMax 2 doesn't have a plate, but instead stabilizes the tall stack with a much wider platform that adds that extra bit of security when landing. Both are best suited to easy paces, although both have enough cushioning to comfortably get through long runs.
