FAQs
Are the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 suitable for marathon racing?
While excellent for training runs, including faster-paced long runs, the Deviate Nitro 3 is primarily designed as a daily trainer. For competitive marathon racing, runners may prefer a shoe with a more aggressive carbon plate or lighter construction, though these are a solid option for training mileage.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop on the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 is 10mm.
How much do these shoes weigh?
A pair in UK size 8 weighs approximately 265 grams.
Can I wear these if I overpronate?
The Deviate Nitro 3 is recommended for neutral pronators. If you significantly overpronate, you may need a shoe with more stability features.
What is the benefit of NITRO™ foam?
NITRO™ foam is a nitrogen-infused midsole compound that offers a combination of high responsiveness, excellent cushioning, and a lightweight feel, enhancing comfort and performance.
How do I know if the recycled materials in the upper affect durability?
The engineered mesh upper, incorporating recycled materials, is designed for durability and breathability comparable to conventional materials. Proper care will ensure longevity.
Is the PWRPLATE made of full carbon fiber?
Yes, the PWRPLATE is described as a carbon fibre plate engineered to provide stability and maximize energy transfer.
Troubleshooting
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning
The foam may have compressed over time. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their expected mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Upper feels tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly. Try different lacing techniques. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Slipping sensation in heel
Check lacing to ensure the heel is secured. Consider using a runner's loop lacing technique or thicker socks.
Excessive noise from the shoe (e.g., squeaking)
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped in the midsole. Ensure shoes are dry. If it persists, it might be a manufacturing anomaly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; simply ensure they fit correctly before your first run. They are compatible with standard running socks and apparel. To care for your Puma Deviate Nitro 3 Trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- 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 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Lacing: Adjust laces for a secure but comfortable fit before each run. Ensure the heel is locked in place without excessive tightness.
