If you are just starting running and your form is still stabilizing, the Deviate Nitro 3 is worth considering. Good cushioning reduces landing impact on knees and feet. Unlike ultra-racing carbon shoes, it does not require advanced technique, making it a relatively beginner-friendly option.

The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 combines a dual-layer NITROFOAM midsole with a full-length PWRPLATE carbon propulsion plate to make a versatile shoe suited to speed training. Its 28/36mm stack with an 8mm drop is a balanced, racer-leaning geometry that balances propulsion and stability. The carbon plate offers gentle rather than aggressive propulsion, delivering a crisp ride well suited to tempo and threshold work. At around 260g it is mid-weight for a plated shoe. The upper combines engineered mesh with PWRTAPE reinforcement for improved fit and stability at speed. It suits daily training, tempo runs, half and full marathons, and long-distance work, and is recommended as an introduction to carbon shoes or as a single pair covering both speed sessions and racing.
