The PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite 3 is your go-to shoe for competitive events and demanding speed sessions. The combination of the PWRPLATE carbon fibre and NITROFOAM ELITE works synergistically to deliver an energetic and propulsive ride. You'll feel a noticeable 'pop' with each toe-off, driving you forward with less effort, particularly when maintaining a faster pace.
On race day, these shoes are designed to help you shave seconds off your personal best. The lightweight construction ensures minimal drag, while the powerful energy return from the PWRPLATE keeps your legs feeling fresher for longer. The PUMAGRIP outsole provides reliable traction, whether you're tackling a paved marathon route or a mixed-surface 10K.
For interval training, tempo runs, or track sessions, the Deviate Nitro Elite 3 offers the responsiveness needed to hit target paces. The supreme cushioning protects your legs from repetitive impact, allowing for more consistent high-intensity efforts. The lightweight mono-mesh upper keeps your feet comfortable and secure even during the most demanding sprints.
These shoes perform optimally on roads, tracks, and well-maintained paths where consistent traction is crucial. The durable PUMAGRIP rubber is built to handle varied urban and park environments, providing confidence with every stride. Remember to consider your specific running style and foot strike to maximize the benefits of the carbon plate.
Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slip. A runner's knot can often provide extra security.
Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for a short, easy run or walk before a significant workout or race to get accustomed to their feel and unique propulsion.
Age Group: Designed for adult runners.
Gender: Optimized for male runners, but can be suitable for any athlete seeking its performance benefits.
Size: This specific model is a UK 6. Ensure you select the correct size based on PUMA's sizing chart for optimal fit and performance.
To extend the life and maintain the performance of your Deviate Nitro Elite 3 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well). For tougher grime, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can lead to odor or material degradation.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating these race shoes with a more durable daily trainer to extend their lifespan and maintain their peak performance characteristics for important runs.
