Product Information
Full details
The Puma Deviate NITRO 4 is a high-performance running trainer designed for neutral runners who prioritize speed, responsiveness, and energy return. Featuring advanced carbon plate technology and premium foam cushioning, these shoes are ideal for speed training sessions on asphalt, though their performance-focused geometry may feel less stable for those requiring significant overpronation support.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, the Deviate NITRO 4 is designed for speed and endurance, making it a capable choice for marathon distance, provided you are a neutral runner.
Can I replace the insole?
The factory insoles are designed to complement the cushioning, but they can be removed if you need to use custom orthotics.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the upper is constructed from breathable performance mesh, which allows for airflow but does not block water.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The trainers weigh approximately 250g, making them a lightweight option for speed-oriented training.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for performance trainers, though some runners prefer a half-size larger to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.
What does the 8mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the difference in height between the 38mm heel and the 30mm forefoot, which helps promote a smooth transition through your stride.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the arch feels too high, consider a slightly thicker, neutral-support sock to adjust the fit.
Laces coming untied during high-speed runs
Use a double-knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to secure the midfoot.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stones or dirt trapped in the tread after each run to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Puma Deviate NITRO 4 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While ready to use immediately, wear them for shorter runs first to allow the carbon plate and foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Surface Compatibility: Use these exclusively on asphalt, concrete, or track surfaces to preserve the outsole rubber.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive brushes that could damage the technical mesh upper.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Never place your trainers near a direct heat source or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the NITROFOAM structure.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper materials from fading or becoming brittle.
