FAQs

What is the main difference between the Deviate Nitro 4 and its predecessor?

The Deviate Nitro 4 is approximately 15g lighter than its predecessor, featuring enhanced NITROFOAM™ technology for improved energy return and a new carbon composite PWRPLATE for added propulsion.

Is this shoe suitable for someone who overpronates?

No, the Deviate Nitro 4 is designed for neutral pronation. Runners who overpronate may require shoes with stability features.

What is the stack height and heel-to-toe drop?

The stack height is 38mm at the heel and 30mm at the forefoot, resulting in an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While the cushioning is comfortable, these shoes are specifically engineered for running performance. For everyday walking, a dedicated walking shoe or a less performance-oriented trainer might be more suitable for long-term comfort and wear.

How durable is the PUMAGRIP outsole?

PUMAGRIP is known for its durability and excellent traction across various surfaces. However, like all outsoles, wear will depend on running surface, mileage, and individual gait.

What does 'Max Cushioning' mean for this shoe?

Max Cushioning refers to a higher volume of foam in the midsole, providing superior shock absorption and a plush feel underfoot, ideal for comfort during long runs and reducing impact.

How should I clean my Deviate Nitro 4 trainers?

Clean them using a soft brush to remove dry dirt, followed by a mild soap and water solution with a cloth or soft brush for stains. Wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or restrictive.

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider an alternative model.

Reduced cushioning or energy return over time.

The cushioning foam naturally compresses with use. For prolonged performance, consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of running, depending on your weight and running style.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces.

While PUMAGRIP offers good multi-surface traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that may impede grip. For consistently wet conditions, consider shoes with specific wet-weather tread patterns.

Upper material seems to be wearing prematurely.

Ensure the shoe is not rubbing against rough surfaces or sharp objects. Check that the lacing system is not overtightened, which can stress the mesh. Regular cleaning and proper drying will also help maintain material integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lighter for improved speed.
  • Excellent energy return for a responsive ride.
  • Durable PUMAGRIP outsole for consistent traction.
  • Comfortable and breathable upper for long runs.
  • Propulsive plate aids in faster transitions.

Cons

  • Maximum cushioning might not suit all running styles.
  • The fast design may require an adjustment period.
  • Specific colorways/sizes may have limited availability.
  • Carbon plate technology can be a significant investment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Puma Deviate Nitro 4 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly. It is recommended to wear them for a short run or two to allow the cushioning and materials to adapt to your foot shape before undertaking long or intense workouts.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral pronation and are suitable for a wide range of adult male runners. They perform best on road surfaces, treadmills, and light, well-maintained trails. They are not designed for hiking or heavy off-road use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning:
  • Remove excess dirt with a dry brush.
  • For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush.
  • Wipe down with a damp cloth.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
  1. Drying:
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
