Product Information
Full details
The PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 is a high-performance running shoe designed for adult female runners seeking speed and energy return. Its key benefit is enhanced propulsion and a lighter feel compared to its predecessor, making it ideal for tempo runs and race day. A potential caveat is its neutral pronation support, which may not suit all foot types. This shoe features advanced NITROFOAM™ technology, a breathable engineered mesh upper, and a carbon composite PWRPLATE for superior performance. The outsole provides excellent multi-surface traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Deviate NITRO 4's max cushioning and lightweight design make them suitable for marathon training and racing, offering both comfort and responsiveness over long distances.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, which promotes a natural stride and efficient foot strike.
Can I wear these shoes if I overpronate?
These shoes are designed for neutral pronation. If you overpronate, you may need a stability shoe. Consult with a running specialist to determine the best shoe type for your gait.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8, making them a lightweight option for performance running.
What is the PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon composite plate integrated into the midsole, designed to provide propulsion and a more efficient toe-off.
Are the materials environmentally friendly?
Yes, the upper of the shoe is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not tied too tightly. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The NITROFOAM™ midsole may lose some of its original properties after extensive use (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers multi-surface traction, extremely wet or slick conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might impede grip. If wear is significant, consider shoes with more specialized wet-weather traction.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit. If it feels too tight, ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and that the lacing system is allowing for adequate foot expansion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably by adjusting the laces. The regular width and rounded toe provide a standard fit for most.
Compatibility: Designed for neutral pronation, these shoes are best suited for runners with a neutral gait. They perform optimally on roads and paved surfaces but offer reliable traction on light trails due to the PUMAGRIP outsole.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Deviate NITRO 4 shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
