FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Deviate Nitro Elite 4 RC are designed for race day, including marathons. Their lightweight construction, advanced cushioning, and propulsive plate are optimized for long-distance, high-performance running.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

It is best to measure your foot length and compare it to PUMA's official sizing chart, available on their website. Trying them on in-store is also recommended if possible.

Can I use these for everyday training?

While they offer excellent cushioning, their primary design is for speed and racing. For everyday mileage, a dedicated daily trainer might offer more durability and support. However, they can be used for specific speed workouts and shorter runs.

What is the main difference between NITROFOAM ELITE and standard NITROFOAM?

NITROFOAM ELITE uses premium raw materials in two layers, offering even higher energy return and superior cushioning compared to standard NITROFOAM, making it ideal for elite performance.

How durable is the PWRPLATE?

The carbon PWRPLATE is engineered for durability during racing and speed training. Its embedded nature within the midsole protects it from excessive wear under normal running conditions.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these are running trainers designed for breathability. They are not waterproof but offer good performance in dry to moderately wet conditions due to the PUMAGRIP outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

This can be normal wear and tear after extensive use (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Run with caution and ensure the outsole is free of debris.

Insole feels loose or moves during runs

Remove the insole, ensure there is no debris underneath, and reinsert it firmly. If the issue persists, a thin layer of double-sided tape can help secure it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return for faster running
  • Lightweight design minimizes fatigue
  • Excellent traction on multiple surfaces
  • Provides stability with the carbon plate
  • Supreme cushioning for comfort during high-impact activity

Cons

  • May offer less support for heavier runners or those needing extensive stability
  • Specialized design best suited for racing or speed training
  • Durability of the ultra-lightweight materials may be a concern for very high mileage
  • Higher price point typical of performance racing shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit and performance. It is recommended to wear these with performance running socks.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track surfaces. While the PUMAGRIP offers multi-surface traction, they are not intended for rugged trail running or extreme off-road conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Rotation: For maximum longevity and performance, consider rotating these trainers with another pair for daily training runs, reserving them for speed work and races.
