Product Information
Full details
The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced propulsion for everyday training runs. Their key benefit is a highly responsive and snappy ride powered by PWRPLATE technology and NITRO™ foam, infusing speed into every stride. A minor caveat is that the upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, which may not appeal to all users. These trainers offer a regular fit, engineered mesh upper, and are recommended for neutral pronators, featuring a substantial stack height and a 10mm heel-to-toe drop.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Deviate Nitro 3?
The main advantage is its enhanced propulsion, achieved through the combination of NITRO™ foam for responsive cushioning and the PWRPLATE for maximum energy transfer, offering a snappy and fast feel for training runs.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While they offer good cushioning and energy return for training, they are primarily designed for everyday training runs. For competitive marathon racing, runners might prefer a more specialized racing shoe, though the Deviate Nitro 3 can serve well for those who prefer more cushioning and support.
What does 'neutral pronation' mean for these shoes?
Neutral pronation means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet roll inward a normal amount. It offers balanced cushioning and support without specific features to correct overpronation or underpronation.
How do I clean the carbon fibre PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is integrated within the midsole and does not require separate cleaning. General shoe cleaning methods for the upper and midsole are sufficient.
Can I use these shoes for trails?
The Deviate Nitro 3 is designed for road running. While they might handle very light, dry packed trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical or muddy off-road terrain.
What is the benefit of the 10mm heel-to-toe drop?
A 10mm drop promotes a balanced stride, encouraging a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off for many runners. It offers a good compromise between a lower drop that encourages forefoot striking and a higher drop that can aid heel strikers.
How much recycled material is in the upper?
The upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on and re-tie them to your preferred comfort level. If the overall width is an issue, consider if a wider fit option is available or if a break-in period is needed.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The responsiveness comes from the foam and plate. Ensure the shoes are not excessively wet or exposed to extreme temperatures. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
Upper material feels stiff
The engineered mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure they are not overly tightened during lacing.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit. The regular fit is designed to accommodate most foot shapes.
Compatibility:
Recommended for neutral pronators. While they offer a propulsive ride, they are designed for everyday training and are not specialized racing flats. They are suitable for road running surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
