Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your PUMA Deviate Elite 4 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Because of the rigid carbon plate, spend a few shorter sessions in the shoes before committing to a full race distance to allow your feet to adjust.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber compounds to degrade over time.
- Rotation: For best results, rotate these with a secondary pair of daily trainers to allow the NITROFOAM Elite to recover its full structure between high-exertion workouts.
