Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with the Deviate Nitro 4, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to prevent bruising during long runs.
- Lacing: Use the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' if you feel slippage in the heel area.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each run. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or machine dry the shoes, as high heat can degrade the cushioning polymers.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the NITROFOAM, allow the shoes 24 hours to recover between intensive training days, especially if the internal foam has been compressed by damp conditions.
