Running With Puma Complete Magnetists

Puma Complete Magnetists

I used to run cross country and track in high school, and when it comes to running shoes, I tend to prefer Asics shoes, but Puma Complete Magnetists come close.

Like most Asics, Puma’s line of Complete Magnetist shoes are very lightweight shoes that are made for running. When you’re running long distance, or even just sprinting on the track, you don’t want to be weighed down by heavy shoes, and that’s definitely not a concern with Puma Complete Magnetists. The shoes are also extremely flexible, so that you won’t have to worry about being held back by stiff rubber.

The innovative feature of the Puma Complete Magnetist, though, is the offset lacing pattern. Most shoes have the shoe laces that go straight down the middle of the shoe, but with Complete Magnetists the laces are slightly offset to follow more of the natural curve of the foot. This is done to reduce pressure on the arch, and create a shoe that is a better fit for your feet.

Another great feature of the shoe is that the outer edge of the heel is slightly rounded, which helps runners to run on the outside part of the foot more, and help reduce overpronation (when a person’s foot rolls inward too much while running). This helps to keep the arch stable, provide more power, and helps prevent ankle and knee injuries.

The one drawback of the Puma Complete Magnetist, though, is that it’s designed for people with normal arches. That means if you tend to be a little flat footed, then this shoe probably isn’t for you. If you have normal arches, however, the Complete Magnetist is a great lightweight shoe that offers great support and comfort.

The only thing I don’t like about the shoe is the ridiculous name, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. There’s nothing magnetic about these shoes, but they’ll definitely keep you going on the track or on the road.
