Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Vasque Men's Velocity Shoe (Fall 2009) Built for motion control on rugged trail runs, the Men's Velocity Shoe by Vasque, with its dual-density EVA midsole, reduces pronation while TPU-reinforced Airmesh and synthetic leather uppers provide support. Vasque Mako outsole offers superb traction. Features: Weight: 1 lb. 12 oz. (Size 9) [790 g] Upper: Synthetic Nubuck Leather Upper: Airmesh Nylon Fabric Midsole: Dual Density Phylon Plate: Molded TPU Plate Outsole: Vasque Mako Lining: Nylon Footbed: Dual Density EVA Other: Gusseted Tongue; Beneke-Ceroprene Rand; Running Last; Padded Collar"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Tough enough to fit into the emerging low-cut hiking shoe category yet light enough to help you achieve personal bests wherever you roam, the Vasque Men's Velocity Trail Running Shoe is a great match for those who run on especially rough terrain. Substantial support on the medial (inside) of the foot makes the Velocity an excellent motion control shoe, ideal for runners who overpronate or have high arches. The Velocity Trail Running Shoe is equipped with Vasque's Mako outsole, an aggressive tread for traction on steep grades. A dual density molded EVA midsole and Beneke-Ceroprene rand provide cushioning and support that's critical whether pushing through a multi-hour run or just getting back out on the trail after a layoff. Between the outsole and insole a rigid plate of molded thermoplastic urethane gives the Vasque Velocity Trail Running Shoe for men torsional strength to handle rocky routes and eroded paths. If an extra aggressive urge overcomes you, the rubber toe bumper and mesh tongue gusset protect the foot from stubborn roots and loose debris on go-light, go-fast scrambles and canyon routes."

From CampSaver.com:

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Vasque Women's Velocity is an award winning trail runner. Built for motion control on rugged terrain, the Velocity provides rock-solid stability in any condition. The aggressively-lugged Vasque Mako outsole offers superb traction, while the dual-density EVA midsole reduces pronation and collapsing. Vasque includes a nylon plate that extends from the forefoot to the arch, providing a comfortable flex with incredible torsional rigidity. TPU-reinforced Airmesh offers support and prevents the synthetic leather upper from stretching out over time. Further support is provided by lacing that extends near to the toe for a high-performance, precision fit. A burly toe rand protects those tender toes from rocks, roots, and other obstacles in the trail."

"These are incredibly stable and comfortable. They are my first pair of hiking shoes. I bought them for hiking, not running and after hiking through wet, muddy conditions they are my favorite shoes! I even carried my 4-year-old nephew through marshy ground and my feet did not get wet at all."

Men's Velocity
Reviewed by AKgearlover, May 29, 2008

"These trail shoes have worked well for me for trail running, mountain scrambling and fastpacking. Not a very light shoe, but for me were quite comfortable and stable.

The tread is terrific for mud and steep trails. I like that these shoes have a fair amount of cush, but are still rigid enough to protect the feet from rocks and roots."

"This was first pair of trail shoes after years of running on road and trails with traditional running shoes. In reading the other comments, I must also agree that they squeak, the large treads are prone to separating (especially on the edges of the shoe), and they don't really qualify as motion control shoes."

Reviewed by Cody F., Nov 27, 2006

"My first pair of trail runners. Work well, but I like to sprint and these seem a little heavy and kind of flat. Not much rocker. Really nice aggressive tread which holds its own in mud and clay. They dig in and power up hills really well. I wasn't too impressed with the construction."

Men's Velocity
Reviewed by trailrunner, Oct 10, 2006

"The Vasque Velocity is a nice trail running shoe for the money. I think you can do a lot better with some of the North Face with the Boa system but these will work. I would recommend replacing the factory insoles as the ones they come with lack a solid arch and any type of cushion."
