FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the PWRPLATE technology?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon plate designed to provide propulsion and enhance energy return, helping runners achieve a faster and more efficient stride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While designed for speed and propulsion, they are categorized for training and speed training. Their suitability for marathon racing depends on individual runner preference for cushioning and ride feel over long distances. They are an excellent option for training runs and shorter races.
What is the weight of the Puma Deviate Nitro 4?
The Puma Deviate Nitro 4 weighs approximately 250 grams, making them a lightweight option for performance running.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, these shoes are specifically designed for asphalt and road surfaces. The outsole and construction are not optimized for the demands of trail running.
What is the drop of the shoe?
The shoe has a drop of 8 mm, which is a common measurement for performance-oriented running shoes.
How does NITRO(TM) foam differ from other cushioning technologies?
NITRO(TM) foam is PUMA's advanced foam technology that provides a combination of lightweight properties, high energy return, and superior cushioning compared to traditional EVA foams.
Who is the ideal runner for the Deviate Nitro 4?
The ideal runner is someone looking for a fast, responsive shoe for daily training and speed work on asphalt, who has a neutral gait and prefers a propulsive feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Wear with appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the shoe's geometry is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time
This can occur with significant mileage. The NITRO(TM) foam and PWRPLATE are durable but will naturally degrade with use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat which can damage the midsole materials. Clean regularly to prevent debris from affecting performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for asphalt. While it offers good grip in dry conditions, performance on wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean. For very wet conditions, consider a shoe with a more aggressive tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to use out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit and performance. We recommend trying them on indoors before their first outdoor run.

- Brush off excess dirt after each use.
