Full details
The Puma Deviate NITRO 4 is designed for adult male runners seeking a lightweight, high-performance shoe for tempo runs and race day. Its key benefit is enhanced speed and energy return, though users with wider feet might find the regular width snug. This shoe features advanced NITROFOAM™ technology, a breathable recycled mesh upper, and a carbon composite PWRPLATE for propulsion, all contributing to a 15g weight reduction from its predecessor.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the maximum cushioning and energy return make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who benefit from a plated shoe for efficiency.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday training?
While optimized for speed, the cushioning allows for everyday training. However, for very slow recovery runs, a less performance-oriented shoe might offer a softer feel.
What does 'NITROFOAM™' mean?
NITROFOAM™ is Puma's advanced cushioning technology, offering a lightweight feel with high energy return for a more responsive and propulsive run.
How do I know if the regular width is right for me?
A regular width should feel snug but not constricting. If your toes feel cramped or the sides of your feet bulge over the midsole, you may need a wider fit.
Are these shoes good for trail running?
The PUMAGRIP outsole provides some traction, making them suitable for very light, dry trails. They are primarily designed for road running.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, which is considered a moderate drop, promoting a balanced foot strike.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The shoes weigh approximately 250g for a UK size 8, making them very lightweight for their cushioning level.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider using thinner socks or breaking the shoes in gradually on shorter runs. If the issue persists, the regular width may not be suitable; explore wider options if available.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extremely wet or slick conditions may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For consistently wet conditions, consider shoes with more aggressive tread patterns.
Squeaking noise during runs
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers. Try to dry the shoes thoroughly. If the noise persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly and usually doesn't affect performance.
Excessive stiffness or discomfort from the plate
The PWRPLATE is designed for propulsion and may feel stiff initially. Allow for a break-in period of 20-30 miles. If discomfort continues, this shoe's design may not align with your preferred running feel.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
