Full details
The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced propulsion for everyday training runs. Their key benefit is the infusion of speed into every stride through responsive cushioning and energy transfer, with a potential caveat being the regular fit which may not suit all foot shapes. Key features include NITRO™ foam for responsiveness and cushioning, and a PWRPLATE carbon fiber plate for stability and energy return, all within a design utilizing at least 20% recycled materials in the upper.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the NITRO™ foam?
The NITRO™ foam provides a superior combination of responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package, enhancing the overall running experience.
How does the PWRPLATE help my run?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fiber plate engineered to stabilize the midsole while maximizing energy transfer, contributing to a more propulsive and efficient stride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the combination of cushioning and responsiveness makes them suitable for marathon training and racing, particularly for runners who benefit from a plated shoe.
What does 'regular fit' mean?
Regular fit indicates that the shoes are designed to accommodate a standard foot width and volume. It is not specifically narrow or wide.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle very light, well-groomed trails, they are not optimized for technical or rugged trail conditions.
What is the heel-to-toe drop, and who is it for?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm. This is a moderate drop suitable for many runners, particularly those with neutral pronation, and encourages a natural gait cycle.
Does the upper contain recycled materials?
Yes, the engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust lacing to optimize fit. If the issue persists, consider if the 'regular fit' is suitable for your foot shape. Consult PUMA's sizing chart for accurate measurements.
Reduced responsiveness over time.
Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (running) and not subjected to excessive wear or improper cleaning. Foam and plate technologies have a lifespan; performance may naturally decrease after significant mileage.
Upper material feels less breathable.
Ensure the engineered mesh is clean and free from debris that could obstruct airflow. Check for any damage to the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit. The regular fit is designed for average foot volumes. If you have specific fit needs, consider trying them on in person or reviewing sizing guides.
Compatibility:
- Pronation: Recommended for neutral pronators. They may not provide adequate support for those with significant overpronation.
- Terrain: Best suited for road running and light trails. The PWRPLATE and foam are optimized for firm surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Laundering: Do not tumble dry or use harsh detergents.
