FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Velocity Nitro 5 is designed to handle daily mileage, including the higher volume required for marathon training.
Do I need to size up for the Velocity Nitro 5?
These trainers generally fit true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space at the front.
Are these suitable for overpronation?
No, these are specifically designed for neutral runners. If you have significant overpronation, you may require a shoe with additional stability features.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are primarily running shoes, the stable midsole makes them adequate for light gym sessions, though they are not designed for heavy weightlifting.
How long will the cushioning last?
The NITROFOAM is highly durable, typically maintaining its responsive characteristics for 400 to 500 miles of use, depending on your weight and running surface.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelets over the pressure point, to allow more room for your midfoot.
Premature wear on the outsole
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road or pavement surfaces; high-friction terrain like gravel can accelerate tread wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure you have verified your size, as the Velocity Nitro 5 fits standard for most adults. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid putting them through a washing machine; instead, clean them by hand using a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt from the engineered mesh and outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time. Rotating your shoes if you run daily can also help the foam recover its shape between uses.
