Full details
The Puma Deviate NITRO 4 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced propulsion and a responsive feel for everyday training. Their key benefit is delivering a snappy ride that infuses speed into every stride, thanks to advanced cushioning and a unique plate technology. A potential caveat is their specific engineering for uptempo runs, which may feel less suited for very slow or recovery paces.

FAQs
What is NITROFOAM technology?
NITROFOAM is PUMA's advanced, nitrogen-infused foam that provides superior responsiveness and cushioning while remaining lightweight. It's designed to offer an energized and smooth ride.
What is the purpose of the PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon composite plate engineered into the midsole to provide propulsion and a snappy toe-off. It works with the foam to enhance speed during faster running paces while maintaining flexibility.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Deviate NITRO 4 can be used for marathon running, especially by those who prefer a responsive and propulsive feel. The NITROFOAM provides sufficient cushioning for long distances, and the PWRPLATE aids in maintaining efficiency.
How do I clean my Deviate NITRO 4 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh cleaning agents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What kind of runs are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best for uptempo training runs, including tempo runs, interval sessions, and faster-paced everyday runs. They can also be used for racing.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, the Deviate NITRO 4 trainers are designed for road running and general training. The PUMAGRIP outsole is optimized for pavement and hard surfaces, not the varied terrain of trails.
What is the main difference between the Deviate NITRO 4 and previous versions?
While specific differences vary by model year, the Deviate NITRO 4 builds upon previous iterations by refining the NITROFOAM and PWRPLATE for an even more responsive and propulsive experience tailored for uptempo training.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort.
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not too tight. Consider wearing thinner socks or trying a half-size larger if persistent discomfort occurs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The midsole foams may have compressed. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat which can degrade foam. For significant loss of cushioning, replacement may be necessary.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
The PUMAGRIP outsole offers good traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For highly challenging wet conditions, consider shoes with deeper tread patterns.
