FAQs
What type of runner is the Puma Deviate Nitro 4 best for?
These trainers are ideal for adult male runners seeking speed and efficiency, particularly those who have a neutral gait and train on asphalt surfaces for daily runs or speed work.
How does the PWRPLATE technology work?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon plate integrated into the midsole designed to provide propulsion with flexibility. It aids in creating a quicker ride and enhances energy return during toe-off.
What is the main difference between this and other running shoes?
The Deviate Nitro 4 combines NITRO(TM) foam for cushioning with a PWRPLATE carbon plate for propulsion, resulting in a lightweight, fast shoe optimized for speed training on roads.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they offer good cushioning, their primary design is for speed training. Runners seeking maximum comfort for very long distances might find other models more suitable, though they can be used for longer runs if a fast pace is desired.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Puma Deviate Nitro 4 Trainers weigh approximately 250 grams, making them a lightweight option for runners focused on speed.
How should I clean my Deviate Nitro 4 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the drop of the shoe?
The shoe has an 8mm drop, which is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are affecting the fit.
Reduced energy return over time
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (training/speed on asphalt) and are not excessively worn. The foam and plate may naturally degrade with very high mileage.
Discomfort during heel strike
Verify the drop (8mm) and midsole height (38mm/30mm) are suitable for your running gait. If you are new to shoes with this configuration, allow for an adjustment period.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for asphalt, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Puma Deviate Nitro 4 Trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. No assembly or technical setup is required.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult male runners with a neutral foot strike. They are best suited for running on asphalt and other hard surfaces, and for training/speed training sessions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each run, wipe away excess dirt with a dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight during wear.
