FAQs
What type of runner is the Deviate NITRO 3 best for?
These shoes are ideal for adult male runners with a neutral pronation who are looking for enhanced speed and propulsion for everyday training, speed work, and racing.
What is NITROFOAM™?
NITROFOAM™ is PUMA's advanced nitrogen-injected foam that provides superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package, offering an energetic ride.
What is the role of the PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fiber plate designed to stabilize the midsole and maximize energy transfer, contributing to the shoe's propulsive feel and speed.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Deviate NITRO 3 is optimized for asphalt and hard surfaces. It is not recommended for trail running due to the outsole design and tread pattern.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 265g for a UK size 8.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm.
Is the upper made from sustainable materials?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during run
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check for any debris inside the shoe. Break-in period might be needed for new shoes.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The NITROFOAM™ may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the PWRPLATE is free from debris. Regular cleaning can help maintain performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for asphalt. For wet conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced. Consider alternative shoes for very wet or slippery trails.
