Saucony Endorphin Azura vs PUMA Deviate Pure NITRO

The PUMA Deviate Pure NITRO and Saucony Endorphin Azura are both unplated uptempo trainers, but they feel quite different underfoot. The Saucony is heavier than the PUMA, but it gives you more cushioning underfoot and feels more responsive thanks to its bouncier foam and stiffer rocker, making it better suited to faster workouts and longer efforts where you want more protection and forward roll. The PUMA feels lighter, more stable, and easier to turn over, with a more natural ride that's well-suited for daily training paces but less cushioned and less propulsive when you start pushing harder.
