FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Deviate NITRO 4?
The main advantage is its combination of reduced weight and enhanced energy return, powered by improved NITROFOAM™ technology and the PWRPLATE, making it faster than its predecessor.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the max cushioning and energy return make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners prioritizing speed and efficiency.
Can I wear these for everyday walking?
While comfortable, these shoes are optimized for running performance. For extended casual wear, they might feel overly responsive or lack the specific support features of a lifestyle shoe.
What does 'Neutral Pronation' mean?
Neutral pronation means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet roll inward a normal amount, without excessive inward (overpronation) or outward (supination) motion.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The PUMA Deviate NITRO 4 weighs approximately 250g for a UK size 8.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm (38mm stack height at the heel and 30mm at the forefoot).
What is the upper made of?
The upper is made of a breathable engineered mesh, with at least 20% of the materials being recycled.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are using the correct UK size. Try loosening the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tying them. The engineered mesh upper will also offer some stretch over time.
Reduced cushioning or energy return over time
While NITROFOAM™ is durable, its responsiveness may decrease with very high mileage (typically over 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes after extensive use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The PUMAGRIP outsole provides excellent traction, but extreme wet conditions on smooth surfaces can still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for maximum grip.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced appropriately. If discomfort persists, consider if the neutral pronation support is suitable for your gait. Try a different lacing technique or consult a running specialist.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
