FAQs
What type of runner is the Velociti Elite 2 best for?
These trainers are best for neutral runners looking for a lightweight, fast shoe for long and mid-distance races like marathons, tempo runs, and interval training. They prioritize speed and responsiveness.
What is the benefit of the Flow technology outsole?
Flow technology eliminates the traditional rubber outsole, creating a lighter, more seamless ride. The material itself is super-durable and increases ground traction while providing a more direct feel of the running surface.
How does the carbon fiber plate contribute to performance?
The full-length carbon fiber plate is engineered to provide explosive lift-offs with every stride, enhancing propulsion and running efficiency, especially at faster paces.
Is this shoe suitable for someone who needs pronation support?
No, the Velociti Elite 2 is a neutral shoe. It is designed for runners who do not require specific pronation control features.
How do I clean these trainers?
Wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking them in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the weight and heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 8.2 oz and has an 8mm offset (heel-to-toe drop).
Are these shoes good for everyday training or just racing?
While they can be used for some training runs like tempo or speed work, their specialized design for speed and propulsion makes them ideal for race days. For very long, easy recovery runs, a shoe with more cushioning and support might be preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or constrictive.
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie them more loosely. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size; consider trying a half-size up if the issue persists and consult the size chart.
Reduced responsiveness or bounce.
Ensure the TPE sockliner is properly positioned. Check for any debris trapped within the sole structure. Prolonged use will naturally reduce the 'bounce' over time.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the Flow outsole is durable and grippy, very wet or slick surfaces can challenge any shoe. Proceed with caution and ensure the outsole is clean. Traction may vary based on surface conditions.
Reflective details are not visible.
The 360° reflectivity requires an external light source (like headlights or camera flashes) to be visible. Ensure the shoes are clean and that the reflective elements are not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably, utilizing the standard tie closure. The fit is designed to be regular, so selecting your usual shoe size is recommended.
Compatibility:
These are neutral shoes, compatible with runners who have a neutral gait or supinate. They are best suited for road running and track surfaces. They are not designed for trail running or sports requiring lateral stability.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
