Faas 100 R Running Shoe - Men's

In the Puma Men's Faas 100 R Running Shoe, running turns into a full-footed exercise. A truly level playing field means a 0mm heel-forefoot drop to help strengthen your foot and finish what you started when you left thick-heeled running shoes behind. Not for first-timers, this lightweight minimalist training shoe encourages a tighter gait and efficient turnover, and it develops a fine-tuned sense of proprioception. It's nice to hear your foot, and be able to respond in an appropriate manner.
One-piece upper construction seamlessly merges a single layer of mesh with a gusseted tongue, bonded overlays, and internal suede forefoot support. Your toes get fresh air without running amok and the lack of seams reduces the chances of blisters. The low-profile EcoOtherLite insole comes out if you have custom insoles, and it otherwise protects your foot from footbed seams when you're going sockless. Puma reworked the midsole, and FaasFoam+ is 25% lighter than its predecessor, but still has the cushion you crave. Running in a true minimalist shoe with a 0mm heel-forefoot drop shouldn't mean every nook and cranny becomes a jarring experience. The EverTrack outsole resists wear and tear for long-running durability.
Whether you're looking to PR in your next 5K or 10K race or wanting a lightweight training shoe that sticks with your minimalist mindset, the Faas 100 R is the shoe for you. The 0mm heel-forefoot drop doesn't add any height, one-piece uppers race with a purpose, and the superlight FaasFoam+ midsole makes the whole thing a foot-bound pleasure.
