How do we think they’ll compare and should I go through Puma’s terribly inconvenient return process??

Just upgraded to the 4 from the 3 and I’ve had a few awkward runs.

Unfortunately, I feel like I’m just not getting the usual amount of energy return I’m used to with this line. I’m used to the foam being pretty firm, but on the 3 I atleast got a decent amount of pop.
This in turn is affecting my turnover and I feel like I’m working my hips more than usual. I know they’ve tweaked the shoes width and plate so I’m wondering if I need to go down a half size to maybe better align my anatomy with the shoe.

Curious if anyone has had a similar experience and the foam just needs worn in or if I should consider another shoe.

Need some help choosing and also with sizing.

In the first few weeks of my marathon training and I’ve been using a pair of Deviate Nitro 3 I got for a half marathon a while back. One of the eyelets broke while getting ready for my long run today so I need a new trainer/long run shoe. :-/

I had some issues with heel slippage on the DN3, but other than that I really rocked with the shoe so I was leaning toward the DN4, but I’ve also been hearing mostly good things about the MN2 as a “workhorse”.

Unironically has anyone tried to DIY perforations in their favorite running hat that’s cotton?

I’m very picky about the fit and the design of typical nylon or poly running caps so I find myself just running in cotton ones.

I prefer bandanas over caps, but the cotton kinda blows.
