FAQs

How much lighter is the Deviate Nitro™ 4 compared to its predecessor?

The Deviate Nitro™ 4 is approximately 15g lighter than its previous model.

What is the main benefit of the NITROFOAM™ technology?

NITROFOAM™ provides enhanced energy return, making your stride more responsive and efficient.

Is the carbon composite PWRPLATE suitable for all runners?

The PWRPLATE is designed to aid propulsion and stability, which benefits performance-focused runners. Runners new to plated shoes might need a short adjustment period.

Can I use these shoes for everyday training?

While durable, these shoes are optimized for speedwork and racing. For high-mileage, everyday training, consider a shoe with more cushioning and less aggressive geometry.

How should I clean my running shoes?

Hand wash with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from heat. Avoid machine washing.

What type of running are these shoes best for?

They are best suited for tempo runs, interval training, and race day events where speed and energy return are critical.

Will these shoes help me achieve a personal best?

The combination of lightweight design, advanced foam, and carbon plate is engineered to enhance performance and help runners achieve their goals.

Troubleshooting

Reduced energy return over time

Ensure the shoes are not overly saturated or damaged. The foam may naturally compress after extensive use, indicating it's time for replacement.

Discomfort or hot spots

Verify correct sizing and consider using performance running socks. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Break-in period might be needed.

Mesh upper feels restrictive

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie. The engineered mesh is designed to be snug; ensure it fits your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running surfaces. While the PWRPLATE offers some stability, it's best used on paved roads, tracks, or light, well-maintained trails.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
