FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Velociti Distance trainers are primarily designed for road running. Their lightweight and breathable construction may not provide sufficient grip or protection for rugged trail surfaces.
What is the primary benefit of UA HOVR+ foam?
UA HOVR+ foam provides a lighter and softer cushioning experience, offering superior impact absorption and energy return for long-distance comfort.
How do I know if I have a neutral gait?
A neutral gait typically means your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward slightly to absorb shock. If you're unsure, consult a running specialist or observe wear patterns on your old shoes (even wear across the sole indicates neutral).
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing and drying are not recommended as they can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and structural integrity. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
For optimal performance, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles. This can vary based on individual running habits, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Is there arch support in these shoes?
These trainers are designed for neutral runners and feature a balanced cushioning system. While they offer inherent support through their construction, they do not have specific motion control or strong arch-specific structures.
What does 'regular fit' mean?
A 'regular fit' typically indicates a standard width and volume that should accommodate most average foot shapes comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure the shoes are broken in properly with shorter runs first. Check for any debris inside the shoe. If discomfort is persistent, the shoe's fit or cushioning profile may not be suitable for your foot type or running style.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The UA HOVR+ foam is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on running style and surface.
Upper material appears dirty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.
