FAQs
Who is the Puma Deviate NITRO 3 best suited for?
The Deviate NITRO 3 is ideal for adult male runners with a neutral pronation. It is designed for speed and responsiveness, making it suitable for tempo runs, interval training, and road racing.
What is NITROFOAM™?
NITROFOAM™ is an advanced, nitrogen-infused foam developed by PUMA. It offers superior cushioning and responsiveness in a lightweight package, providing a bouncy and comfortable ride.
What is the purpose of the PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fiber plate integrated into the midsole. Its primary functions are to stabilize the foam and maximize energy transfer, contributing to a faster and more efficient stride.
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
Yes, with their substantial stack height for cushioning and responsive NITROFOAM™, they can provide comfort and energy return suitable for marathon distances, especially for neutral runners.
How much do the Puma Deviate NITRO 3 trainers weigh?
The trainers weigh approximately 265g for a UK size 8.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm, which is a moderate drop that works well for many runners.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are primarily designed for road running. The tread and cushioning are optimized for paved surfaces, and they may not provide sufficient grip or protection for uneven trail terrain.
Does the shoe use sustainable materials?
Yes, the engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to PUMA's commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width and length.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. While NITROFOAM™ is durable, extreme conditions or heavy use can impact performance. Check for debris within the tread.
Upper material seems worn or damaged
Inspect for tears or abrasions. Minor scuffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For significant damage, repair might not be feasible, and replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Puma Deviate NITRO 3 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up for a personalized fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement while maintaining security.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are best suited for neutral pronators. They are not specifically designed for trail running or significant overpronation.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
