Product Information
Full details
The Puma Deviate NITRO™ 3 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking an enhanced experience on their everyday training runs. They offer unparalleled propulsion and a snappy, responsive ride thanks to PWRPLATE technology and NITRO™ foam, infusing speed into every stride. A potential consideration is that they are recommended specifically for neutral pronators, meaning individuals with other pronation types may need to consider alternative options.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While they offer good propulsion and cushioning for training, dedicated racing flats might be lighter and more performance-oriented for elite marathoners. However, they can be a great option for marathon training and for runners who prefer a more cushioned, responsive shoe for longer distances.
What does 'neutral pronator' mean?
A neutral pronator's foot rolls inward slightly after landing, absorbing shock effectively. These shoes are designed to support that natural motion without overcorrecting.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these trainers are designed for road running. They lack the aggressive outsole tread and protective features needed for off-road terrain.
How much recycled material is in the upper?
The engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials.
What is the stack height and heel-to-toe drop?
The stack height is 39mm in the forefoot and 29mm in the heel, with a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm.
How do I clean my Deviate Nitro 3 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher stains. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The approximate weight is 265g for a UK size 8.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff on first wear.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
Discomfort in the midfoot.
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. If discomfort persists, the shoe's support profile might not be suitable for your foot type.
Reduced responsiveness over time.
Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (road running, daily training) and are not subjected to excessive wear or damage. The foam and plate are designed for durability but extreme conditions can affect performance.
