FAQs
Is the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 suitable for marathons?
Yes, the combination of lightweight cushioning and energy-returning plate technology makes it an excellent choice for full marathons and ultramarathons.
Does this shoe have a carbon plate?
The shoe features a re-engineered PWR-PLATE, which is a composite plate designed to act as a lever for energy transfer.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Can I use these for trail running?
While designed primarily for roads, the PUMAGRIP ATR rubber offers good traction on light trails; however, it is not a dedicated technical mountain shoe.
How many miles should these shoes last?
Most high-performance trainers like the Deviate Nitro 2 last between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running gait and the surfaces you frequent.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Utilize the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle lock and ensure the tongue is centered.
Experiencing hot spots or blisters
Check your sock material; avoid cotton and switch to moisture-wicking synthetic running socks to reduce friction.
Outsole collecting small debris
Use a blunt plastic tool to gently pry out trapped gravel or pebbles from the outsole grooves after trail or rough-road runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Puma Deviate Nitro 2, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks or easy runs for the first 20-30 miles to allow the foam and plate to settle to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the foam from drying out or the upper material from degrading.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating your shoes with another pair to allow the cushioning to recover fully between uses.
