FAQs

What type of runner is the Deviate NITRO Elite 4 best for?

This shoe is best for adult female runners focused on performance, particularly those participating in races like 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, and marathons, or those engaging in speed training.

What is the main difference between this and previous models?

The Deviate NITRO Elite 4 is 12% lighter than its predecessor and features upgraded NITROFOAM™ Elite for enhanced responsiveness and a re-engineered PWRPLATE for improved energy transfer.

Can I use these for everyday training or recovery runs?

While they offer maximum cushioning, their primary design is for speed. For everyday training or recovery, you might find shoes with a softer, less responsive feel more comfortable.

What does 'NITROFOAM™ Elite' mean?

It signifies PUMA's premium, high-performance foam technology that provides exceptional responsiveness in an extremely lightweight package.

What is the role of the PWRPLATE?

The PWRPLATE is a carbon fibre plate engineered to maximize energy transfer from foot strike to toe-off, delivering a powerful and propulsive ride.

How does the PUMAGRIP outsole perform?

PUMAGRIP is a durable rubber compound designed for all-surface traction, providing a reliable grip on various running surfaces.

What is the stack height and heel-to-toe drop?

The stack height is 40mm at the heel and 32mm at the forefoot, with a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the specific shape of the shoe doesn't suit your foot.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Clean the shoes according to care instructions. Ensure no debris is trapped in the midsole or outsole. If significant wear is visible, the foam may have compressed over extensive use.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, wet surfaces can challenge any outsole. Ensure you run with caution on wet roads or trails. Excessive wear on the outsole will reduce its grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return for faster running.
  • Very lightweight design for reduced fatigue.
  • Secure lockdown for stability.
  • Durable outsole for reliable traction.
  • High level of cushioning for comfort during races.

Cons

  • May feel overly firm for casual wear.

  • Designed primarily for speed, not necessarily for maximum comfort on recovery runs.
  • Higher stack height might not suit all running gaits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to use out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. Lace them up securely using the provided laces, utilizing the PWRTAPE for a locked-in feel. The regular width and rounded toe are designed for a standard fit.

Compatibility: The PUMA Deviate NITRO Elite 4 is designed for neutral pronation, making it suitable for runners with a neutral gait. The PUMAGRIP outsole provides traction on various surfaces, including roads, dry trails, and tracks.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth after each use.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
