Product Information
Full details
The Puma Deviate Nitro 4 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced propulsion and a responsive feel for everyday training and speed work. Their key benefit is infusing speed into every stride through advanced foam and plate technology, offering a perfect blend of cushioning and responsiveness. A potential caveat is that the optimal performance may be geared towards neutral runners, and the propulsion plate might require a slight adjustment period for some users.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the NITROFOAM technology?
NITROFOAM provides two layers of nitrogen-infused foam, delivering lightweight responsiveness and superior cushioning for a smooth and energetic ride.
Is the PWRPLATE in the Deviate Nitro 4 flexible?
Yes, the PWRPLATE is a carbon composite plate engineered for propulsion while maintaining flexibility along its entire length, allowing for comfortable uptempo training runs.
What type of running is the Deviate Nitro 4 best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for road running, daily training, and speed training sessions like tempo runs and intervals.
What is the weight of the Puma Deviate Nitro 4?
The shoe weighs approximately 250 grams.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.
How do I clean my Deviate Nitro 4 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow to air dry naturally.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Deviate Nitro 4 is designed specifically for road surfaces. The PUMAGRIP outsole offers good traction on roads but is not optimized for the demands of trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff initially
This is often due to the PWRPLATE. Wear the shoes for a few shorter runs to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot mechanics.
Slipping occurs on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extremely slick or wet surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.
Discomfort in the midfoot or heel
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check if the laces are tied too tightly or too loosely. Consider trying different lacing techniques.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The NITROFOAM and PWRPLATE are designed for durability, but responsiveness can decrease with excessive wear and mileage. Monitor the shoe's condition and consider replacement after significant use (typically 300-500 miles).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to go straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable and effective fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or run initially to get accustomed to the feel of the PWRPLATE technology.
Compatibility: The Deviate Nitro 4 is designed for road running and speed training. It is compatible with most running apparel and accessories. This shoe type is categorized as 'Neutral', making it suitable for runners with a neutral gait.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- 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 damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Rotation: For maximum longevity and performance, consider rotating these trainers with another pair of running shoes, especially if you run frequently.
