FAQs
Are the PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the combination of max cushioning, lightweight design, and propulsion technology makes them well-suited for marathon distances, especially for runners seeking speed.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on these shoes?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.
Can these shoes be used for everyday training or only racing?
While designed for speed, the cushioning and support make them versatile enough for daily training runs, particularly tempo runs and faster workouts. For very slow or recovery runs, you might prefer a softer, more forgiving shoe.
How do I know if these shoes are right for my foot pronation?
These shoes are designed for neutral pronation. If you have concerns about your pronation, it's best to consult a running specialist or conduct a gait analysis.
What is the weight of the PUMA Deviate NITRO 4?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8.
How much recycled material is in the upper?
The upper of the shoes is made with at least 20% recycled materials.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's construction and materials. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, and air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. Consider a short break-in period for the shoe to adapt to your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The cushioning and responsiveness may naturally decrease with high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, or when wear becomes apparent.
Slipping on certain surfaces
The PUMAGRIP outsole is designed for multi-surface traction, but performance can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slick or specialized surfaces, consider alternative footwear if needed.
Upper material feels abrasive
This could be due to improper fit or the break-in period. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists after break-in, it may indicate an incompatibility with your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-run shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a few shorter runs to break them in before undertaking long distances or races.
Compatibility: Designed for neutral pronation, these shoes are best suited for runners with a neutral foot strike. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For tracking performance, they can be used with GPS watches and other running accessories.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Rotating between pairs can extend the lifespan of your running shoes.
