User Review: Vasque Velocity

Vasque Velocity
Above: The current Velocity, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Materials: Synthetic
Use: Trail running
Break-in Period: 2-3 outings
Price Paid: $80

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 uppers seem well put together, but the sole has a funky design which leaves thin points of sole near the edges. This weak point in the sole began to seperate from the bottom of the shoe after about a month or so, but I've glued them back and haven't had that problem since. Overall not a bad shoe, but there are better trail runners out there.
