Puma Deviate Nitro 4 X Hyrox review: what runners say
Fit
Runs long: half size down recommended for those between sizes. Toe box is wider than previous versions, but the midfoot remains narrow.
Feel
Moderate cushioning with good responsiveness at faster paces. The dual-layer Nitro foam and flexible carbon composite plate deliver a smooth ride without the pronounced bounce of max-stack shoes.
Durability
Puma Grip rubber is thick and well distributed, suggesting solid longevity. Expected mileage not quantified by sources.
Best for
All-around plated shoe geared toward tempo paces. Suited for runners looking for a plated shoe for daily training and races up to the half marathon. Available in a Hyrox variant optimized for multi-station fitness disciplines.
Weak points
Narrow midfoot is problematic for wide feet, and sizing up only makes the shoe too long without solving the issue. Laces are perceived as lower quality relative to the rest of the construction.
