Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Puma Deviate Nitro 4 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened uniformly to lock the heel in place without constricting the forefoot.
- Break-in: Take the shoes on two or three shorter 5km runs before attempting a long-distance race to allow the carbon plate to adapt to your foot strike pattern.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your shoes with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry only in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them on radiators or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the midsole compound.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the mesh upper.
