FAQs
Who is the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 designed for?
These trainers are primarily designed for adult male runners with neutral pronation who are looking for a responsive and propulsive shoe for everyday training, tempo runs, and interval workouts.
What is the main benefit of the PWRPLATE technology?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fiber plate engineered to stabilize the midsole and maximize energy transfer, contributing to a snappy and efficient toe-off for a faster feel.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While they offer excellent responsiveness for speed, their primary design is for everyday training. For pure marathon racing, runners might prefer a shoe specifically optimized for longer distances, though the Deviate Nitro 3 can be used for shorter races or for runners who prefer a more responsive feel over maximum cushioning.
How does NITROFOAM™ differ from traditional EVA foam?
NITROFOAM™ is an advanced, nitrogen-infused foam that offers superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package compared to standard EVA foams.
Can I use these shoes if I have flat feet or overpronate?
The Deviate Nitro 3 is recommended for neutral pronators. If you overpronate, you may require a stability shoe with additional support features.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm. The stack height is 39mm in the heel and 29mm in the forefoot.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 270g for a UK size 8.
What percentage of recycled materials are used in the upper?
The engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or restrictive.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them with a runner's knot or by leaving a bit more space in certain eyelets. Ensure you are using the correct size; consider trying a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after several runs.
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might impede the foam or plate. For significant degradation, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their optimal lifespan for performance.
Upper material feels abrasive or causes irritation.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes gradually over a few runs to allow the materials to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Slipping in wet conditions.
The outsole is designed for road grip. For significantly wet or slippery surfaces, proceed with caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Deviate Nitro 3 trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The internal structure and cushioning are ready to perform out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are recommended for neutral pronators. They are not specifically designed for individuals who overpronate significantly. The shoe is best suited for road running and track workouts.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow 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.
- Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, as this can compromise the adhesives and structural integrity.
