Full details
The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 is designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced propulsion and a responsive feel during their everyday training runs. Its key benefit is the combination of PWRPLATE technology and NITRO™ foam, delivering a snappy ride that infuses speed into every stride. A potential caveat for some users may be its suitability primarily for neutral pronators, as it is engineered for this gait type.

FAQs
Who is the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 designed for?
The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 is designed for adult male runners, specifically those with a neutral pronation, looking for a responsive and propulsive shoe for everyday training runs.
What is the main benefit of the PWRPLATE technology?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fibre plate engineered to stabilize the midsole and maximize energy transfer, providing a snappy, propulsive feel with each stride.
How does NITRO™ foam contribute to the shoe's performance?
NITRO™ foam is an advanced, nitrogen-injected foam that offers superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package, enhancing the shoe's energetic ride.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
These shoes are recommended for neutral pronators. Runners who overpronate may require shoes with specific stability features that the Deviate Nitro 3 does not offer.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm, and the stack height is 39mm at the heel and 29mm at the forefoot.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 270g for a UK size 8.
Are there sustainable materials used in the shoe?
Yes, the engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Wear with appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists after a few wears, consider an alternative model.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time
The NITRO™ foam and PWRPLATE are designed for durability, but performance can decrease with excessive mileage or improper care. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If the issue persists after significant use (typically over 300-500 miles), it may be time to replace them.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road traction. On very wet or slick surfaces, grip may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp or excessively hot environments, such as a car trunk.
- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear, replacing them as needed to ensure a secure fit.
