The primary benefit is enhanced speed and performance, achieved through a combination of reduced weight, advanced NITROFOAM for energy return, and a carbon composite PWRPLATE for propulsion.
Who is the PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 designed for?
It is designed for female runners focused on speed, suitable for tempo runs, interval training, and race days. It is best suited for those with a neutral pronation.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, with a stack height of 38mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot.
How does the carbon composite PWRPLATE work?
The PWRPLATE is a rigid plate embedded in the midsole that acts as a lever, providing a snappy feel and helping to propel the runner forward with each stride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the max cushioning and energy return make them a strong choice for marathon runners, especially those looking to achieve faster times.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8, making them 15g lighter than their predecessor.
What makes the upper sustainable?

What type of pronation is this shoe designed for?
The PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 is designed for neutral pronation.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness or unusual feel on first wear.
This is common with plated shoes. Wear them for short runs or walks to gradually break them in and allow the shoe to adapt to your foot mechanics.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
While PUMAGRIP is excellent, no outsole can guarantee perfect grip on all wet surfaces. Run with caution and ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Feet feel too warm during runs.
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe is the best choice for extremely hot conditions or if a different sock is needed.
Laces come undone during a run.
Tie the laces securely using a double knot. If the laces are prone to slipping, consider replacing them with a different type of running-specific lace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The lace-up fastening allows for a customizable fit.
Compatibility: Designed for neutral pronation, these shoes are suitable for a wide range of runners. They perform best on roads, prepared trails, and treadmills.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off excess dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Allow the 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 material breakdown.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's recommended to remove insoles for drying if they become particularly wet.
- Rotation: For maximum lifespan and to allow the cushioning to recover, consider rotating these shoes with another pair if you run frequently.
