FAQs
What is NITROFOAM technology?
NITROFOAM is PUMA's advanced cushioning system that uses nitrogen infusion to create a midsole that is both lightweight and highly responsive, providing excellent energy return.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Puma Deviate NITRO 4 is designed for performance and responsiveness, making it suitable for longer distances like marathons for runners who prefer a lighter, more energetic shoe. However, personal preference for cushioning and support varies.
How do I know if the UK size 11.5 is the right fit?
Try the shoes on with your usual running socks. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not tight.
Can I wear these for cross-training activities?
While versatile, these trainers are optimized for running. For activities requiring significant lateral support or stability, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the main difference between the Deviate NITRO 4 and previous models?
Specific differences vary by model year, but PUMA often refines the NITROFOAM compound, PWRPLATE integration, and upper design in successive versions to enhance performance and comfort.
How durable is the PUMAGRIP outsole?
PUMAGRIP is engineered for high durability and consistent traction across various surfaces, providing reliable grip for the lifespan of the shoe under normal running conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Try different lacing patterns or tension levels to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The NITROFOAM cushioning is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may feel less pronounced after significant mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as debris can affect performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip. For very wet conditions, consider alternative footwear if extreme traction is paramount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run. The lace fastening allows for a customizable fit – begin by lacing them evenly, then adjust tightness to your preference.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for road running and general athletic training. They are compatible with most running sock types. For best performance, use on paved surfaces, tracks, or dry, lightly packed trails.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can deform the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent mildew.
