FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Deviate NITRO 4 over previous models?
The PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 is approximately 15g lighter than its predecessor and features enhanced NITROFOAM technology for even better energy return, making it faster and more responsive.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Deviate NITRO 4 is designed with a regular width. Runners with wider feet may find them too snug and might need to consider alternative models or sizing up if possible.
What type of runner is this shoe best for?
These shoes are best for adult male runners with a neutral pronation who prioritize speed, energy return, and cushioning for tempo runs, interval training, and races.
How much recycled material is used in the upper?
The engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to sustainability without compromising on breathability.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, and the stack height is 38mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot, offering a balance of cushioning and a natural feel.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The PUMAGRIP outsole provides multi-surface traction, making them suitable for roads and light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running performance.
What is the purpose of the PWRPLATE?
The carbon composite PWRPLATE is integrated into the midsole to provide propulsion and stability, working with the NITROFOAM to enhance energy return and forward momentum.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new shoes featuring carbon plates. Wear them for shorter runs or around the house to break them in gradually. The materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Traction feels inadequate on wet surfaces
While the PUMAGRIP outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slippery conditions can be challenging for any shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean. For very slick conditions, consider alternative footwear if available.
Upper feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. If the width is the primary issue, these trainers may not be the best fit. Consider trying on a different model or size if available.
Reduced cushioning after several uses
Regularly clean the shoes and allow them to air dry completely. Over time, cushioning naturally compresses. Consistent cleaning helps maintain optimal performance.
