PUMA Deviate Nitro 3 Reviews

About 250 km in, including a rainy marathon, with no grip problems on wet corners and an outsole that still looks new after plenty of gravel. The plate gives good energy return but feels less aggressive than expected, and the shoe is comfortable without wowing them. It runs narrow and slightly small, and the thick mesh is not very breathable and dries slowly. Good for workouts and long runs, though they think similarly priced shoes may impress more.

Very happy with the Deviate Nitro 3's foam and traction, but had to size up a full size because it runs tight.

She wanted to love it. It's versatile, with a soft but firm-enough ride and surprising ground feel, but the stiff plate doesn't deliver much propulsion. It's less comfortable than a cushioned trainer, and the narrow waist plus soft foam feels slightly unstable. She'd like a wider midfoot.

90%. Underrated: a great option for many paces and daily miles. It isn't overly soft or max-stack, and it should last toward 300-400 miles. The narrow fit is the main limitation.
