"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."

"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."

"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."
