Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Velociti Distance Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a balance of flexibility and cushioning for long runs in any climate, particularly dry conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The Under Armour Velociti Distance Trainers are primarily designed for road running and dry conditions. Their outsole grip and construction are optimized for pavement, and they may not provide sufficient traction or protection for technical trail surfaces.

What is the primary benefit of the UA HOVR+ foam?

The UA HOVR+ foam offers a lighter and softer feel compared to previous foams, providing superior underfoot cushioning and energy return, which is particularly beneficial for long-distance running.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the trainers come with a removable insole, allowing you to replace it with your own preferred insoles or custom orthotics for a personalized fit.

What does a 6mm offset mean for my run?

A 6mm offset means there is a 6mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is a moderate offset that supports a natural foot transition for many runners.

How should I clean the translucent mesh upper?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What type of runner is this shoe best for?

These trainers are best for adult male runners with a neutral foot strike who prioritize cushioning and flexibility for long-distance running in dry conditions.

How much do these shoes weigh?

The approximate weight of these trainers is 10.5 oz, making them a lightweight option designed to reduce fatigue during long runs.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone during a run.

Ensure laces are tied with a secure double knot. Consider replacing laces with a more durable, non-slip material if the issue persists.

Feet feel less cushioned over time.

The UA HOVR+ foam may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the removable insole is correctly positioned. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage.

Upper appears dirty due to translucent material.

Gently clean the translucent mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before next use.
