FAQs
Who is the PUMA Deviate Nitro 3 best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for adult male runners who are neutral pronators and engage in everyday training, tempo runs, and speed work on asphalt surfaces. They are designed to provide propulsion and speed.
What is the main benefit of the NITRO™ foam?
NITRO™ foam is an advanced nitrogen-injected foam that provides superior responsiveness and cushioning while remaining lightweight, enhancing your running efficiency and comfort.
How does the PWRPLATE technology work?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fiber plate engineered to stabilize the midsole. It works by maximizing energy transfer, leading to a more powerful and efficient toe-off with each stride.
Is the upper material environmentally friendly?
Yes, the engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm. The stack height is 39mm at the heel and 29mm at the forefoot, offering a balance of cushioning and responsiveness.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Deviate Nitro 3 is designed specifically for road running. The outsole and midsole construction are optimized for asphalt and hard surfaces, not trails.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 265g for a UK size 8, making it a lightweight option for performance-oriented running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try different lacing techniques or consider if the size is appropriate. If the issue persists, these shoes may not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Check for debris or wear on the outsole and midsole. Ensure the shoes have been cared for properly and not subjected to extreme conditions. Significant reduction might indicate the shoe has reached the end of its optimal lifespan.
Upper material feels stiff
Allow for a break-in period, especially if the shoes are new. Wear them for shorter runs initially. The engineered mesh should adapt to your foot with use.
Slipping during runs
Verify the shoes are laced correctly and securely. Ensure the running surface is dry. If the issue is with the outsole grip on wet surfaces, be cautious during wet conditions.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your shoes:
