FAQs
What is the main benefit of the NITROFOAM™ Elite?
NITROFOAM™ Elite provides a premium, highly responsive cushioning experience in an extremely lightweight package, maximizing energy return for faster running.
Is the PWRPLATE suitable for everyday training runs?
The PWRPLATE is optimized for race-day propulsion. While you can use them for some speed training, they are not recommended for high-mileage daily training as it may reduce their lifespan and responsiveness.
What type of runner is this shoe best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for neutral runners looking for a lightweight, high-performance shoe for race day, focusing on speed and efficiency.
How does the weight of the Deviate NITRO Elite 4 compare to its predecessor?
The Deviate Elite 4 is 12% lighter than its predecessor, contributing to a feeling of lightness and speed.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, with a stack height of 40mm in the heel and 32mm in the forefoot.
Can I wear these shoes if I overpronate?
No, these shoes are designed for neutral pronation and do not offer specific stability features for overpronators.
How do I clean my PUMA Deviate NITRO Elite 4 trainers?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit. Try lacing them differently or consider if the regular width is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Check for excessive wear on the outsole and midsole. Ensure the shoes have been cared for properly and not subjected to extreme conditions.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean; debris can affect grip.
Uneven wear on the outsole
This may indicate a change in your running gait or that the shoes are being used for activities other than intended (e.g., cross-training). Focus on using them for their designed purpose.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for cleaning the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in extreme temperatures, such as a car on a hot day.
- Rotation: For optimal longevity, consider rotating these shoes with a less performance-oriented pair for daily training.
