How it ranks
The PUMA Velocity Nitro 4 ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Value and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 3 other rated shoes in the Velocity Nitro product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.

Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
