Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Ensure the NITROFOAM™ midsole has not been compressed for extended periods without use. Allow shoes to rest between runs. Check for excessive wear on the outsole or midsole.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for asphalt. Performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole tread is clear of debris.
Foot fatigue or discomfort
Verify that the shoe size and fit are correct for your foot. The Deviate Nitro 4 is a performance-oriented shoe; ensure it's suitable for your specific running gait (neutral) and intended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and performance.
Compatibility: Designed for neutral runners. Compatible with standard running socks. Not intended for use with orthotics requiring significant shoe modification.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each run, remove loose dirt and debris with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably not in a sealed plastic bag, to allow for air circulation. Rotate with other shoes if possible to extend their lifespan.
