Full details
The Puma Deviate Nitro 2 is a high-performance trainer engineered for adult male runners seeking maximum responsiveness and efficient energy return during their workouts.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
While designed primarily for road running, the PUMAGRIP ATR outsole offers enough traction for light gravel paths and well-maintained park trails.
Should I size up?
The fit is generally true to size. If you prefer extra room for foot swelling during long runs, a half-size up may be considered.
How long do these shoes typically last?
With proper care, you can expect between 400 to 500 miles of consistent performance before the cushioning begins to degrade.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam. Clean by hand using a soft brush and lukewarm water.
What is the primary difference from the original version?
The Nitro 2 features an improved, more breathable upper and a refined geometry to the PWR-PLATE for a more efficient stride.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try using a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Heel slippage while running
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique with the top eyelet to secure the heel in place.
Early wear on outsole
Check your gait for excessive dragging; if the issue persists, rotate your shoes to allow the foam to fully recover between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Always unlace your shoes when putting them on or taking them off to preserve the heel counter's structure and the upper's fit. If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with dry paper to absorb moisture—do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the foam properties.
Regarding compatibility, the Deviate Nitro 2 is built for neutral runners. If you currently wear orthotics, ensure the internal volume of the shoe accommodates your inserts by removing the factory-supplied sockliner before insertion. Keep the outsoles clean of mud and debris to ensure the rubber maintains its maximum traction profile.
