FAQs
Are the PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced energy return and lightweight design make them a strong option for marathoners looking to optimize their performance, especially for those who prefer a responsive ride.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday walking?
While comfortable, the shoe's design is highly performance-oriented. For everyday walking, shoes with more cushioning and less aggressive geometry might be more suitable for prolonged comfort.
How do I know if the neutral pronation support is right for me?
Neutral pronation support is ideal for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward or outward during their stride. If you have a neutral gait, these shoes should be suitable. Runners who overpronate may need shoes with additional stability features.
What does NITROFOAM™ technology do?
NITROFOAM™ is PUMA's advanced lightweight foam technology that provides superior responsiveness and cushioning, maximizing energy return for a faster, more efficient run.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8.
Is the upper made entirely of recycled materials?
The upper is made with *at least* 20% recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists after a few runs, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced energy return over time
The foam cushioning and plate are designed for performance. With extensive use, especially in demanding conditions, the responsiveness may naturally decrease. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the PUMAGRIP outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Exercise caution on wet roads, especially during sharp turns or descents. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
