FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Deviate NITRO 4 features max cushioning and energy return, making them well-suited for the demands of marathon running.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8.
Can I use these shoes for everyday training as well as racing?
Yes, their blend of cushioning, responsiveness, and durability makes them suitable for both high-intensity training sessions and everyday runs.
What does 'neutral pronation' mean?
Neutral pronation means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet roll inward a normal amount to absorb shock. It does not contain specific motion control features for overpronation or underpronation.
How do I know if the cushioning level is right for me?
The Deviate NITRO 4 offers max cushioning. If you prefer a very firm, ground-feel shoe, this level might feel too soft. If you prioritize comfort and impact absorption, max cushioning is generally beneficial.
Are the recycled materials used in the upper significant?
The upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, indicating a step towards more sustainable manufacturing practices within the product.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. Break them in gradually on shorter runs.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, performance can be reduced on extremely wet or icy surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. Consider alternative footwear for very slippery conditions.
Upper material shows early signs of wear
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Inspect the shoes regularly for any small tears and address them promptly if possible. Proper cleaning and drying can help prolong material life.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with longer or different textured laces if this is a persistent problem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp or humid conditions.
