The loop on the tongue and heel made getting them on and off easy (except for the insole moving around) and the laces stayed put.
The plastic TPU caging system, also used in Puma running shoes means the laces are wideset, and lock the feet in well. Puma Zone XT Conclusion To conclude, it took me a while to make my mind up on this shoe. First impressions weren’t too good, but it then went on to perform OK in testing and for a low price training shoe it did the job. onemix shoes aliexpress
More detail on the various activities we put it through below… Running The shoe doesn’t claim to be a running shoe, but performed surprisingly well on short runs, especially fast treadmills sprints due to its lightweight components.
It didn’t feel cushioned or particularly stable, but did the job it said it would, and performed in this type of workout. I wouldn’t recommend wearing these for runs longer than 1km at a time, and if you plan on running regularly I’d definitely recommend a specialist running shoe. Weightlifting
My feet moved around in these too much for my liking when lifting heavy weights, e.g. squats or deadlifts, but if you are just starting out lifting weights. onemix shoe review The Zone XT offers a much better experience than wearing a traditional running shoe, due to the low heel drop, and firm foam under foot. High Intensity Training (Burpees, Box Jumps, Kettlebells, Lunges)
For bodyweight exercises the Zone XT’s were better than average. They’re light, flexible and the hybrid foam sole performed, giving stability. Box jumps didn’t feel especially explosive, and my foot moved around quite a lot during burpees. As an all rounder, they were better than wearing a running shoe here too. Overall The Zone XT performed OK in all areas of testing for high intensity interval training, I just didn’t love the shoe. It was lacking in the technology of more advanced models such as Nike Metcon 5 or Reebok Nano 9, and you can tell by looking and feeling that it is obviously cheaper than these.
Other brands have also benefitted from being in the ‘training shoe’ game for longer, and new launches have improved on, from previous customer feedback which the Zone XT hasn’t had the chance to do.
However, if you want a lower priced shoe, that you’ll only wear for indoor gym classes, the Puma Zone XT isn’t a bad choice. If you’re looking to do more weightlifting, or more running then I’d spend my money elsewhere.
We purchased a pair of Puma Zone XT at retail using our own money. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after training for a month in them.
