Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Puma Deviate Elite 4, proper care is essential.
- Breaking In: Before taking them to a major race, use the shoes for 2-3 shorter speed workouts to allow the carbon plate and your feet to adapt to one another.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Instead, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the PUMAGRIP rubber outsole with a soft brush to remove debris and maintain traction.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam properties over time.
- Rotation: If you run high weekly mileage, rotate these with a standard trainer to allow the foam to decompress and to avoid excessive wear on the specialized racing outsole.
