PUMA IGNITE is a cushioning technology associated mainly with the midsole. It belongs to a different part of the shoe than SoftFoam, which is primarily an insole technology, and EverTrack, which is used in outsole areas.
What is PUMA IGNITE?
IGNITE is part of PUMA's cushioning technology family. In models that use it, the technology contributes to the feel and response of the midsole during walking, training or running, depending on the shoe's design.
What are the benefits of IGNITE?
- Contributes to midsole cushioning.
- Can be tuned for different athletic or lifestyle models.
- Works together with the shoe's geometry, outsole and upper.
IGNITE vs. SoftFoam
SoftFoam / SOFTFOAM+ is mainly located in the insole, directly beneath the foot. IGNITE is associated with the midsole, which plays a larger role in overall cushioning and ride.
IGNITE vs. EverTrack
EverTrack is focused on the outsole and resistance in high-wear contact areas. These technologies can complement one another because they work in different layers.
How to choose a PUMA model with IGNITE
Check the exact model's intended activity, fit, stability, outsole and cushioning setup. Do not assume every shoe carrying the IGNITE name has identical construction.
