FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Deviate NITRO 4's lightweight design and energy return make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners looking for a faster race-day option.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, these shoes are engineered for performance running. For extensive daily walking, a shoe with more casual cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I know if the carbon PWRPLATE is working?
You'll typically feel a sense of propulsion and a firmer, more responsive toe-off, especially during faster running paces.
What is the main difference between Deviate NITRO 4 and its predecessor?
The Deviate NITRO 4 is approximately 15g lighter and features enhanced NITROFOAM™ for improved energy return compared to the previous model.
How much recycled material is in the shoe?
The upper of the shoes is made with at least 20% recycled materials.
What is the recommended cleaning method?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or direct heat.
Is this shoe good for trail running?
No, the Deviate NITRO 4 is designed for road and track surfaces. The PUMAGRIP outsole offers multi-surface traction, but it is not intended for technical trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened appropriately. If still tight, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring wider fit options if available.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While NITROFOAM™ is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, exceptionally slick conditions may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean for optimal grip.
Uneven wear on outsole
Check your running form and ensure you are not overpronating or supinating. Consistent uneven wear may indicate a need for gait analysis.
