Product Information

Full details

The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a highly responsive shoe for everyday training runs. They offer a snappy ride with advanced NITROFOAM™ cushioning and a carbon fibre PWRPLATE for enhanced stability and propulsion. A key caveat is their recommendation for neutral pronators, meaning they may not be suitable for runners who overpronate. Key features include a breathable engineered mesh upper with targeted PWRTAPE, a durable PUMAGRIP outsole, and a stack height optimized for speed and comfort.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Deviate NITRO 3's cushioning and propulsive plate make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners seeking a responsive shoe. However, consider your personal preference for cushioning and support over very long distances.

What is the main difference between the Deviate Nitro 3 and other Puma running shoes?

The Deviate Nitro 3 stands out with its combination of NITROFOAM™ cushioning and a carbon fibre PWRPLATE for enhanced propulsion and stability, targeting a faster, more responsive feel compared to shoes with traditional foam.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The PUMAGRIP outsole provides good traction on various surfaces, but the shoe is primarily designed for road running. For technical or muddy trails, a shoe with a more aggressive lug pattern and greater protection would be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have neutral pronation?

Neutral pronation means your foot rolls inward a normal amount upon landing. You can often tell by looking at the wear pattern on your old shoes (even wear on the ball of the foot and heel) or by consulting a running specialist for a gait analysis.

What does the 10mm heel-to-toe drop mean?

A 10mm drop indicates there is a 10mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This is a common drop that can encourage a more natural foot strike and assist with forward momentum.

How much do the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 trainers weigh?

The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 trainers weigh approximately 270g for a UK size 8.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, reflecting Puma's commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces, especially over the midfoot, and re-lacing them to achieve a more personalized fit. Break-in the shoes gradually over several runs.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean. For very slippery conditions, proceed with caution.

Reduced responsiveness over time

The NITROFOAM™ cushioning and PWRPLATE are designed for durability, but performance can gradually decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss of cushioning and energy return.

Upper feels restrictive

The PWRTAPE is designed for lockdown. If it feels too restrictive, try adjusting the lacing pattern. Ensure the shoe is the correct width for your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return and responsiveness for a faster feel.
  • Lightweight construction for reduced fatigue on longer runs.
  • Durable PUMAGRIP outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable.
  • Supportive PWRTAPE enhances lockdown fit.

Cons

  • Recommended primarily for neutral pronators.
  • Carbon fibre plate might feel too stiff for some runners.
  • Higher stack height may not suit minimalist running preferences.
  • May not offer enough stability for severe overpronators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short period initially to allow your feet to adapt.

Compatibility: The Deviate NITRO 3 is designed for road running and is suitable for neutral pronators. They perform best on paved surfaces, treadmills, and well-maintained trails. They are not intended for technical off-road terrain or heavy lifting.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
