FAQs

Who is the ideal runner for the Velociti Elite 2?

The Velociti Elite 2 is best for adult neutral runners who prioritize a lightweight, fast, and responsive feel for mid- to long-distance races like marathons.

What is Flow technology?

Flow technology eliminates the traditional rubber outsole, creating a more lightweight, seamless, and durable ride with enhanced ground traction.

How does the carbon fiber plate benefit my run?

The full-length carbon fiber plate is designed to provide explosive lift-offs, enhancing propulsion and efficiency with every stride.

Are these shoes suitable for daily training or just racing?

While excellent for racing, their lightweight and responsive nature also makes them suitable for specific speed-focused training days like tempo runs or interval sessions. For very high mileage daily training, a more cushioned shoe might be preferred.

What is the offset and weight of the shoe?

The shoe has an 8mm offset and weighs approximately 8.2 oz, contributing to its lightweight and fast feel.

How do I clean these trainers?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

Are there reflective elements for safety?

Yes, the trainers feature 360° reflectivity for improved visibility during low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

The Flow outsole is designed for optimal grip, but on extremely wet or slick surfaces, reduced traction may occur. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. Consider alternative shoes for exceptionally wet conditions.

Lack of cushioning for very long runs

These shoes are optimized for a balance of speed and cushioning. For runners needing maximum cushioning on ultra-long distances, consider adding a thicker aftermarket insole or a shoe with a more cushioned profile.

Squeaking noise during running

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction within the shoe. Ensure the sockliner is properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the sockliner might help reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and fast feel for optimal race performance
  • Explosive propulsion due to the full-length carbon fiber plate
  • Excellent breathability with the Warp 2.0 upper
  • Seamless and grippy ride thanks to Flow technology
  • Increased visibility in low light conditions

Cons

  • Minimalist outsole may require an adjustment period
  • May not provide enough cushioning for ultra-long distances for some runners
  • Durability of the Flow outsole on highly abrasive surfaces could be a concern for some
  • Tied lacing system may not be preferred by all runners
  • Specific to neutral runners, not suitable for those needing pronation support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first run. Adjust the standard tie laces for a secure lockdown, ensuring no pressure points.

Compatibility:

Designed for neutral runners. Best suited for road running and track surfaces. The Flow technology outsole offers versatility across various pavement types. Not recommended for heavy trail running or activities requiring significant lateral support.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
