PROS
Very stable running shoes, good looking, energy boost post strike, comfortable
CONS
Gets a bit 'bouncy' when going down hill, Netfit not really usable, on the pricier side
VERDICT
While Puma is not considered a prime candidate in the South African road running scene, the Hybrid Astro will certainly win fans over and bodes well for the future. The Astro’s are set to remain on my feet and I won’t be returning to my regular trainers.
