FAQs

What type of runner is the Velociti Elite 3 best for?

These trainers are best for adult runners focused on long and mid-distance road races, such as marathons, who prioritize speed and energy return.

What is the main advantage of the carbon fiber plate?

The full-length carbon fiber plate delivers explosive lift-offs, enhancing running efficiency and speed during strides.

How should I clean my Velociti Elite 3 trainers?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs 7.8 oz.

What is the stack height and offset?

The stack height is 37.5mm, and the offset is 2mm.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, these trainers are specifically designed for road running surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or protection for trails.

Can I use these shoes for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, their specialized design for racing means they might be overkill or not optimally suited for casual walking or everyday use compared to lifestyle footwear.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the standard tie laces for a more personalized fit. Ensure the upper is not bunched up. If the issue persists, consider if this model's specific fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced energy return over time

The midsole foam and carbon plate are designed for peak performance. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Check for any visible damage to the outsole or midsole. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat which can degrade foam.

Slipping on wet surfaces

These trainers are optimized for dry conditions. The rubber outsole provides traction on dry roads, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in wet weather.

Upper material feels stiff

The dynamic Leno weave stretch upper is designed to provide lockdown. It may feel firm initially. Engage in short runs to break them in, allowing the material to adapt to your foot's shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return for faster race times.
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue over long distances.
  • Secure fit and lockdown for confident strides.
  • Durable outsole for consistent performance on roads.
  • Optimized for long and mid-distance road racing.

Cons

  • May be too specialized for casual wear or short sprints.
  • The aggressive design might require an adjustment period.
  • Not ideal for trail running due to outsole and upper design.
  • Carbon fiber plate technology is best suited for experienced runners.
  • Specific weather conditions (any climate, dry) are optimal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to use out of the box. Ensure you have them laced to your preferred tightness using the standard tie laces for a secure and personalized fit. The 2mm offset and 37.5mm stack height are designed to work with a natural running gait.

Compatibility: The Velociti Elite 3 is designed for road running surfaces in any climate, but performs best in dry conditions. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  4. Laundering: Hand washing is generally not recommended for shoes with carbon plates and specialized foams. If absolutely necessary, use a very mild soap and cold water, and ensure thorough rinsing and drying.
